Changes of diagnosis to manic-depressive illness.
In a cohort of patients with an operationally confirmed diagnosis of mania, half of the patients had received a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia, and over one third of the patients had received a diagnosis of personality disorder. Retrospective analysis of case-notes, using operational criteria based on DSM-III, found that manic-depressive illness was more likely to have been the correct previous diagnosis.
