  • Title: Mania misdiagnosed as schizophrenia.
    Author: Garvey MJ, Tuason VB.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1980 Mar; 41(3):75-8. PubMed ID: 7354019.
    Abstract:
    The charts of 50 patients diagnosed manic on an index admission were reviewed for a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia. Fifty-six per cent of the patients previously ill had been previously misdiagnosed as schizophrenic. During these "schizophrenic" admissions, patients demonstrated a preponderance of affective (manic) symptoms. Irritability was noted much more commonly than euphoria during these admissions. This coupled with the high rate of psychotic symptoms (78%) during the "schizophrenic" admission were likely important reasons for misdiagnosis.
