Psychotic Disorders
A person who had one episode of hypomania and six episodes of depression meets the diagnostic criteria for which one of the following?
Explanation
ExplanationThe ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for bipolar affective disorder require two discrete mood episodes, at least one of which must be a hypomanic/manic episode. In DSM-5, a single episode of mania or a single episode of hypomania plus a single major depressive episode is sufficient to diagnose bipolar affective disorder. See APA (2013) and WHO (1992).
