We examined the records of 53 patients with a diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder, manic. Thirteen patients were refractory to lithium carbonate treatment. Clinical variables hypothesized to have value in predicting response including the presence of elation, grandiosity, paranoia, irritability, delusions and hallucinations did not predict treatment response.
