Psychosis as a predictor of response to lithium maintenance treatment in bipolar affective disorder

N E Rosenthal et al. J Affect Disord. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

Sixty-six bipolar I lithium clinic patients were studied for a history of psychotic symptoms at some time during the course of their illness. Agreement between different sources of information was calculated, and the patient population was divided into psychotic and non-psychotic subgroups. Probability of remaining well on lithium for the different subgroups was analyzed by the life table method. Psychosis during mania appeared to be associated with especially good early lithium prophylaxis.
