Chronic mania (defined as the presence of manic symptoms for more than 2 years without remission) poses significant problems in diagnosis and management. Generally it denotes poor outcome, though contrary reports are available. We present a case of chronic mania and discuss the clinical features of chronic mania reported in the literature, which are useful in distinguishing chronic mania from acute mania.
慢性躁狂症(定义为躁狂症状持续超过2年且无缓解)在诊断和管理方面存在重大问题。一般来说,它预示着预后不良,不过也有相反的报道。我们报告一例慢性躁狂症病例,并讨论文献中报道的慢性躁狂症的临床特征,这些特征有助于区分慢性躁狂症和急性躁狂症。
