bipolar affective disorder terminology
Can someone please help? This is driving me nuts.
Ocassionally on charts I will see "bipolar affective disorder" or "manic depression."
Is this an old term from DSM 3 or something? Or a current one from ICD-10? Does it more closely resemble schizoaffective disorder or is it just bipolar? Does this term just mean "bipolar" with a few extra words thrown in before and after? Or is like here is "bipolar" and "bipolar affective disorder" like how we use bipolar 1 and bipolar 2?
