One of the more methodologically rigorous studies on the utility of TCA/antipsychotic combinations in treating PMD was completed by Spiker et al. [1985). In this study, 54 patients who met criteria for depression with psychotic features on the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia [Endicott and Spitzer 1978) and by Research Diagnostic Criteria [Spitzer et al. 1985) were randomly selected to treatment with amitriptyline alone, perphenazine alone, or the combination of two drugs. After a 7-day placebo washout, patients were treated for 35 days with doses averaging approximately 50 mg/day of perphenazine and approximately 200 mg/day of ami-...

In the United States, the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) (19) and the DSM-IV (8) both provide clear inclusion and exclusion criteria for a current episode ( Table 9-2). Evaluation of past episodes can be made using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia—Lifetime Version (SADS-L) ( 20) or the Structured clinical Interview for DSM (21). In other countries, the Present State Exam (PSE) (22) can reliably distinguish mania from other disorders. Table 9-3 reviews the various clinical presentations of primary bipolar disorder and their related DSM-IV diagnoses ( 23) (see also Appendix A, Appendix G, and Appendix H). 

Rosen and colleagues (48) administered a structured interview, based on the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS) to 89 bipolar I patients, to compare psychotic and nonpsychotic manic patients on a number of clinical outcome and demographic variables (i.e., age, age at first treatment, and duration of illness). Overall, the psychotic manic group had a significantly poorer outcome in terms of social functioning.
