title: Dysphoric mood in paranoid psychoses.
abstract: Many authors have stressed the particular affective behavior in paranoid psychoses, mainly its dysphoric pattern. In 1983, Berner formulated the dysphoric axial syndrome as a third type of the endogenomorphous cyclothymic axial syndrome. In this paper two points are examined: (1) The interrelation between dysphoric and depressive and/or manic affective disorders in paranoid psychoses, cross-sectionally and longitudinally, in order to test the hypothesis of their independence, and (2) the relation of dysphoric mood disorders in paranoid psychoses to their course, again in comparison with other types of affective symptoms. The paper is based on an empirical study by Gabriel in 1978 on the phenomenology and the course of paranoid psychoses.
