‘Alysis’ )abbreviation of Neuroanalysis(, - is the chosen definition for the rearrangement of psychiatric phenomology to approximate the hypothesized etiology of mental disorders. Currently the relevant scales such as Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) for schizophrenia and the Hamilton scales for depression and anxiety, and Mania Rating Scale have no specific guiding principle in the order of items. ‘Alysis’ is a reorganization of multiple known scales to fit a future brain-related diagnostic approach to mental disorders. Due to the regrouping of items from different scales and reorganizing them according to a brain-related hypothetic order, it is necessary to reassess the reliability of the new ‘Alysis’ rearrangement. In this work the new ‘Alysis’ format is described and then using t-scores analysis, compared to the widely-used Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) scale for mental disorders. It is shown that ‘Alysis’ is reliable thus can be a good diagnostic platform to go ahead and generate personalized testable-predictions about brain-related diagnostics for psychiatric patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between aggression in the first 24 hours after admission and severity of psychopathology in psychiatric inpatients.METHODS: This cross-sectional study included psychiatric patients admitted to Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria, in Santa Maria, southern Brazil, from August 2012 to January 2013. At their arrival at the hospital, patients were interviewed to fill in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) form, and any aggressive episodes in the first 24 hours after admission were recorded using the Overt Aggression Scale (OAS). The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare patients according to aggressiveness: aggressive versus non-aggressive, hostile versus violent, and aggressive against others only versus self-aggressive.RESULTS: The sample was composed of 110 patients. Aggressive patients in general had higher BPRS total scores (p = 0.002) and individual component scores, and their results showed more activation (p < 0.001) and thinking disorders (p = 0.009), but less anxious-depression (p = 0.008). Violent patients had more severe psychomotor agitation (p = 0.027), hallucinations (p = 0.017) and unusual thought content (p = 0.020). Additionally, self-aggressive patients had more disorientation (p = 0.011) and conceptual disorganization (p = 0.007).CONCLUSIONS: Aggression in psychiatric patients in the first 24 hours after admission is associated with severity of psychopathology, and severity increases with severity of patient psychosis and agitation.
