Abstract

It has been previously hypothesized that hyperactivity may be one childhood form of manic-depressive disorder. The authors contend that it is unlikely that hyperactivity in general is a childhood form of manic-depressive disorder. However, included in those considered to be hyperactive may be youngsters exhibiting an embryonic form of mania. A case of a 5-year-old boy, originally thought to be hyperactive, is presented as evidence for the existence of an embryonic stage of mania. The clinical and research necessity for differentiating between hyperactivity and embryonic mania is stressed.

摘要

先前曾有假说认为，多动可能是躁郁症在儿童期的一种表现形式。作者认为，一般而言，多动不太可能是躁郁症在儿童期的表现形式。然而，在那些被认为患有多动症的儿童中，可能包括表现出早期躁狂症状的儿童。本文介绍了一个最初被认为患有多动症的5岁男孩的病例，以此作为躁狂症存在早期阶段的证据。强调了区分多动和早期躁狂症在临床和研究方面的必要性。
