The clinical characteristics and personality disorders were analysed in 200 cases of unipolar and bipolar affective. It was found that the bipolar patients tended to have an early age of onset, higher positive family history of psychosis, retarded depression, and extra-verted personality trait. 对200例单双相情感性精神病的临床特征和人格进行了比较分折,发现双相型发病年龄较早,精神病阳性家族史较明显,多为迟钝型抑郁,人格特征偏外向。
