abstract="Psychopathological symptoms of 342 manic-depressive patients with a family history (FH) of manic-depressive illness (MDI) and suicide (FH-S-positive group) were compared with 80 manic-depressive patients with a family history of MDI but without suicide (FH-S-negative group). Frequencies of suicide tendencies, attempted suicides, rage, angry mania and delusions were evaluated. In contrast to the FH-S-positive group where suicide tendencies and attempted suicides were more frequent, the FH-S-negative group revealed a higher frequency of delusions. There was no difference between the groups concerning rage and angry mania. Comparisons regarding suicide tendencies, attempted suicides, rage, angry mania and diagnostics referring to depressive, manic, subdepressive and hypomanic phases showed no difference between the sexes.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
