Abstract

Most investigators and theorists studying schizophrenia accept the premise that schizophrenia is biologically distinct from affective disorder. The most compelling evidences supporting this Kraepelinian view of psychosis derive from family and twin stadieo1)-3) that are interpreted as domonstrating little shared liability between there two major psychoses.
Despite this consensus, several theorists have proposed that schizophrenia and affective disorder are not distinct conditions but on the opposite ends of a continuum on which schizophrenia is the severest form and schizoaffective disorder is the intermediate4).
We have experienced a case of schizophreniform individual with bipolar first-degree relative and treated with antipsychotics and electroconvulsive therapy. Thus, we report it with a brief review of literature.
