Patients with primary affective disorder who had either psychomotor agitation alone or psychomotor retardation alone were studied. Compared to psychomotor retardation, psychomotor agitation appears to be seen more frequently in women, older patients, and individuals who have a late onset to their illness. In addition, those with agitation alone appeared to have a better and faster response to electroconvulsive therapy.
对仅患有精神运动性激越或仅患有精神运动性迟缓的原发性情感障碍患者进行了研究。与精神运动性迟缓相比，精神运动性激越似乎在女性、老年患者以及发病较晚的个体中更为常见。此外，仅患有激越的患者似乎对电休克治疗的反应更好、更快。
