From: welshboy on 1 Oct 2005 12:25 I was reading in your post (Plixell) that you are bi-polar IV. I thought there were only 2 types. I have looked up the type you mention that is IV, what are the other ones called? Thanks. Dyl

Dyl Some doctors don't accept the limited definitions of bipolar disorder that are described in the DSM. In order to account for a broader and more inclusive category of bipolar and bipolar-like mental illness, Klerman and Young (1992) proposed an expansion beyond the classical definitions, as follows: Bipolar I - Mania and Major Depression Bipolar II - Hypomania and Major Depression Bipolar III - Cyclothymia Bipolar IV - Antidepressant induced hypo/mania Bipolar V - Major Depression with a family history of bipolar disorder Bipolar VI - Unipolar Mania There is also an alternative diagnostic structure proposed by Aniskal (1999), which is as follows: Bipolar I: full-blown mania Bipolar I ?: depression with protracted hypomania Bipolar II: depression with hypomanic episodes Bipolar II ?: cyclothymic disorder Bipolar III: hypomania due to antidepressant drugs Bipolar III ?: hypomania and/or depression associated with substance use Bipolar IV: depression associated with hyperthymic temperament Proposed subtypes V and VI have not yet been characterized, but presumably they will involve episodic anxiety disorders and/or seasonal mood states as well as mood disorders co morbid with various anxiety disorders of an episodic nature. Usually, when people refer to diagnoses beyond bipolar I and II, they are referring to the Klerman and Young typology. Lar |
