Abstract

Clinical-psychodiagnostic examination of 153 patients with primary episode of bipolar aff ective disorder (BAD) found the highest diagnostic potential of the bipolar spectrum diagnostic scale in patients with depressive, manic and mixed variants of primary episode of BAD, and less predictive potential of the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) and Hypomania Checklist-32 (HCL-32), which revealed pathological aff ective symptomatology of the bipolar spectrum in patients with manic and mixed type of the primary episode of BAD, but were insensitive with depressive form. Using the bipolar spectrum scale to detect signs of bipolarity in the primary episode of BAD, it should be kept in mind that the quantitative indicators of it are lower compared with the patients with clinically formed BAD, which should be taken into account during the diagnosis
