Background: Studies on treatment outcome in mania had been many. A few studies from the west address the issue of outcome in mood congruent and mood incongruent manias. None could be found from India.
Aim: To compare the treatment response in three groups of patients with mania- Nonpsychotic, psychotic with mood congruent and psychotic with mood incongruent features.
Materials And Methods: All consecutive manic patients admitted during 2013 to 2014, meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken up. 28 patients with nonpsychotic Mania, 10 with mood congruent psychotic symptoms (MIC-) & 12 with mood incongruent psychotic features (MIC+). Diagnosis was confirmed using SCID. Mood stabilizers and Olanzapine or equivalent doses of antipsychotics were administered. Semi structured proforma was used for Socio Demographic & clinical details. YMRS, HDRS, Semi structured proforma to assess response (ISBD recommendations), CGI -BP & SAPS were used. Last 5 tools to assess the response to treatment at every 2 weeks, for 8 weeks.
Statistical Analysis: Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 17.0 was used.
Results: These three groups did not show statistically significant difference in the socio-demographic variables. Severity of Mania was higher in Psychotic Mania. Psychotic Manias (group 2 and 3 combined) showed longer response time. However, mood incongruent psychotic manias when compared against the other 2 groups clubbed together did not differ significantly.
Limitations: All patients were from a tertiary referral centre and were hospitalized. Majority of them had a past history. The sample sizes were small. Treatment could not be fully matched.
Conclusion: Our findings support the view that psychotic manias on the whole take significantly longer time than mania without psychotic symptoms to respond, and also scored higher on indices of severity. Mood Incongruent Psychotic Manias and Mood Congruent Psychotic Manias did not differ in severity & response time.

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment for several major psychiatric conditions, including treatment-resistant depression, mania, and schizophrenia; nevertheless, its use remains controversial. Despite its availability in some European countries, ECT is still rarely used in others. This study aims to investigate the experiences and attitudes of early career psychiatrists (ECPs) across Europe towards ECT and to examine how their exposure to ECT influences their perceptions.

In these cases, the antibiotics most often incriminated are macrolides and quinolones, but to our knowledge, there are no published cases of antibiomania secondary to cotrimoxazole. Furthermore, we also provide an update of pharmacovigilance data concerning antibiomania through a search of the World Health Organization (WHO) database.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is widely recognized as a safe and effective intervention for treating severe affective episodes in patients with bipolar disorder. However, it can sometimes precipitate unexpected manic phases in patients treated for a depressive episode, a phenomenon known as ECT-induced mania. While this occurrence is recognized, it remains poorly understood and minimally addressed in the literature.
