Abstract

|
|
Objective : We compared the clinical characteristics of patients with bipolar and unipolar depression, using the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI).
Methods : Twenty-seven outpatients with bipolar and 57 outpatients with unipolar depression, who had been diagnosed using the DSM-IV-TR, were enrolled from the department of psychiatry at the university-affiliated general hospital. Using the independent t-test, scores on the PAI and its subscales were compared between patients with bipolar and unipolar depression.
Results : There were significant differences in the AGG (Aggression, p＜0.01) and MAN (Manic, p＜.01) items; and MAM-G (Grandiosity, p＜0.01), BOR-N (Negative Relationships, p＜0.01), ANT-S (Stimulus-Seeking, p＜ 0.01), AGG-A (Aggressive Attitude, p ＜0.01), and AGG-P (Physical Aggression, p＜0.01) subscales between patients with bipolar depression and unipolar depression.
Conclusion : These findings can contribute to the identification of the discriminating clinical characteristics between patients with bipolar and unipolar depression.
