              Schizoaffective disorder is a mental disorder accompanied by schizophrenic and affective symptoms that both stand out at one time. Affective symptoms that appear are manic, depressive or both. The prevalence of patients with schizoaffective disorder is about 0.3% of the general population. Women suffer more from schizoaffective disorder and usually suffer from depressive type schizoaffective disorder. The case that will be discussed here is a young adult woman who first suffered from a schizoaffective mixed type disorder. The difficulty faced in handling this case is to provide an understanding of the patient and family about schizoaffective disorders and how patients take medication regularly for a long time. Therefore, a biopsychosocial approach is considered the most suitable to overcome the difficulties in handling this case.

SynopsisA meta-analysis was carried out on 53 cases of dementia praecox (DP) and 134 cases of manic-depressive insanity (MDI) originally diagnosed by Kraepelin or his collaborators in Munich in 1908. The original case material was coded in terms of Present State Examination syndromes and analysed statistically for internal consistency and discrimination between the two diagnostic entities. Kraepelin's DP and MDI were found to define homogeneous groups of disorders which could be clearly distinguished from one another. A CATEGO re-classification of the cases revealed an 80·2% concordance rate between Kraepelin's diagnoses and ICD-9. Cluster analysis of the original data reproduced closely Kraepelin's dichotomous classification of the psychoses but suggested that DP was a narrower concept than schizophrenia today, while MDI was a composite group including both ‘typical’ manic-depressive illnesses and schizoaffective disorders.

Affective Symptoms

The distinction between schizophrenic and affective illnesses has been one of the cornerstones of psychiatric classification ever since Kraepelin introduced the twin concepts of dementia praecox and manic depressive psychosis at the turn of the century. It has also long been recognized that some patients have both schizophrenic and affective symptoms, and various interpretations have been placed on these mixed states. To some continental psychiatrists they constitute a third group of psychoses distinct from both schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis—the degeneration psychoses of Kleist or the cycloid psychoses of Leonhard. By others they are regarded as genuine mixed states, with the implication that elements of both schizophrenia and manic depressive illnesses are contributing, perhaps because the genetic or constitutional endowment is mixed, perhaps because two alternative defence mechanisms are being utilized simultaneously. Often, however, mixed symptomatology is simply ignored, either by discounting the schizophrenic symptoms and focusing attention on the mood change, or, as most American psychiatrists do, by glossing over the affective symptoms and regarding the illness as a form of schizophrenia differing in no significant respect from other schizophrenias.

Jellinek describes periodic or Epsilon alcoholism as the ‘least known species of alcoholism’ (1). Åmark (2), comparing them to the general population, found periodic drinkers to be older at time of study, to show increased heritability in offspring and to have a higher incidence of cycloid and cyclothymic personalities. His determination of cyclothymic personality traits reinforces the hypothesis of Dobnigg et al. (3) of a correlative between periodic drinking patterns and affective symptoms. This paper examines the usefulness of the diagnosis of ‘bender’ alcoholism.

Barry and Barry (1961, 1964) have reviewed the evidence for an association between season of birth and the major psychoses. Their figures show that, with a single exception, every study has found an excess (though not always a significant excess) of schizophrenic and manic-depressive patients born between January and April, and a deficit born between May and August, compared with the control populations. The single exception was their own study (1964) on schizophrenic patients in private mental hospitals, a finding which led them to conclude either that the private class of patient is protected from some adverse seasonal influence or that schizophrenic patients come chiefly from a subgroup of the population which has a comparatively high birth rate during the first four months of the year. Norris and Chowning (1962) drew attention to the fact that the seasonal distribution of births in a general population may vary appreciably from year to year in a particular country and from place to place within that country in any one year, and suggested that such variations make difficult any comparison between births of patients and of a large general population taken over a number of years, the procedure which had hitherto been adopted.

Affective Symptoms

Comorbidity of substance use with affective symptoms and suicidality has been well documented in the general population. However, population-based migrant studies about this association are scarce. We examined the association of affective symptoms and suicidal ideation with binge drinking, daily smoking, and lifetime cannabis use among Russian, Somali, and Kurdish migrants in comparison with the Finnish general population. Cross-sectional data from the Finnish Migrant Health and Wellbeing Study (Maamu, n = 1307) and comparison group data of the general Finnish population ( n = 860) from the Health 2011 Survey were used. Substance use included self-reported current binge drinking, daily smoking, and lifetime cannabis use. Affective symptoms and suicidal ideation were measured using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25). We performed multivariate logistic regression analyses, including age, gender, and additional socio-demographic and migration-related factors. Suicidal ideation (OR 2.4 95% CI 1.3–4.3) was associated with binge drinking among Kurds and lifetime cannabis use among Russians (OR 5.6, 95% CI 1.9–17.0) and Kurds (OR 5.5, 95% CI 1.9–15.6). Affective symptoms were associated with daily smoking (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.02–2.6) and lifetime cannabis use (OR 6.1, 95% CI 2.6–14.5) among Kurdish migrants. Our results draw attention to the co-occurrence of suicidal ideation, affective symptoms, and substance use, especially among Kurdish migrants. These results highlight the variation of comorbidity of substance use and affective symptoms between the different populations. This implies that screening for substance use in mental healthcare cannot be neglected based on presumed habits of substance use.

The Impact

Summary Multiple lines of evidence indicate that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has profound psychological and social effects. The psychological sequelae of the pandemic will probably persist for months and years to come. Studies indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with distress, anxiety, fear of contagion, depression and insomnia in the general population and among healthcare professionals. Social isolation, anxiety, fear of contagion, uncertainty, chronic stress and economic difficulties may lead to the development or exacerbation of depressive, anxiety, substance use and other psychiatric disorders in vulnerable populations including individuals with pre-existing psychiatric disorders and people who reside in high COVID-19 prevalence areas. Stress-related psychiatric conditions including mood and substance use disorders are associated with suicidal behavior. COVID-19 survivors may also be at elevated suicide risk. The COVID-19 crisis may increase suicide rates during and after the pandemic. Mental health consequences of the COVID-19 crisis including suicidal behavior are likely to be present for a long time and peak later than the actual pandemic. To reduce suicides during the COVID-19 crisis, it is imperative to decrease stress, anxiety, fears and loneliness in the general population. There should be traditional and social media campaigns to promote mental health and reduce distress. Active outreach is necessary, especially for people with a history of psychiatric disorders, COVID-19 survivors and older adults. Research studies are needed of how mental health consequences can be mitigated during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Relationship

SummaryChronic Hallucinatory Psychosis (CHP) is typically a French disease entity initially described by G Ballet (1911) and whose diagnostic criteria were established by Pull (1987). This diagnosis is not used in English and German literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Pull's criteria for CHP and the criteria for schizophrenia defined by 14 different diagnostic systems and schizoaffective disorders. Seventy-two non-affective psychotic patients (34 men, 38 women), aged 20 to 84, in exacerbated or stabilized phase, were interviewed by the same investigator (SD). The patient distribution between the diagnoses in the different diagnostic systems was carried out using a computerized 208-item checklist. The main results indicated that the definite CHP diagnosis was significantly related to the Catego S + (C = 0.52; P < 0.01), New-Haven, (C = 0.40; P < 0.05) and Schneider (C = 0.54; P < 0.001) systems for schizophrenia and with the depressive-schizoaffective disorder (C =0.39; P < 0.05) in the RDC system. The probable CHP diagnosis was significantly linked with the same systems and with the probable RDC (C = 0.39; P < 0.05) for schizophrenia. These results emphasize that in 13 out of the 14 diagnostic systems, schizophrenic and schizoaffective disorders overlapped with CHP in the French diagnostic system. Among these systems, four schizophrenic diagnoses were significantly linked to CHP. In contrast, the Bleuler system for schizophrenia was not related to CHP at all.
