Recurrent unipolar mania: A comparative, cross-sectional study

摘要

Introduction: A significant number of patients experience recurrent episodes of mania without depressive episodes. Evidence from the available literature suggests that these patients differ from typical "bipolar" or "manic depressive" patients, but results have been inconsistent. The current study aims to add to this literature by comparing the demographic, clinical and risk factor profiles of patients with recurrent mania with and without depression.
