The document discusses mood disorders including major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and bipolar disorders. It provides diagnostic criteria for each disorder based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR). Symptoms are described for major depressive episodes, manic episodes, and hypomanic episodes. A case presentation is also included describing symptoms consistent with bipolar I disorder.
3. The Four Personality Type based on the four humors The humors each had associated physical and mental characteristics; the result was a system that was quite subtle in its capacity for describing types of personality.

Editor's Notes
Also the humors were related to the elements: water, fire, air, earth.
"[It was though that each of] The "humours" gave off vapors which ascended to the brain; an individual's personal characteristics (physical, mental, moral) were explained by his or her "temperament," or the state of theat person's "humours." The perfect temperament resulted when no one of these humours dominated. By 1600 it was common to use "humour" as a means of classifying characters; knowledge of the humours is not only important to understanding later medieval work, but essential to interpreting Elizabethan drama“ Body Type: Sanguine = corpulent Choleric = red-haired and thin Phlegmatic = pallid, corpulent Melancholic = sallow (sickly yellowish hue or complexion), thin
DSM-V coming out in 2012
Major depressive disorder has identifiers based on how many episodes: MDD single episode or MDD recurrent episodes; based on features: MDD with psychotic symptoms; based on onset: post-partum depression. Always rule out medical conditions, substance abuse and medication as possible causes of the symptoms before assigning diagnosis of a mental illness.
A history of one or more single depressive episode is needed in order to meet criteria for a Major Depressive Disorder. In addition, five of the nine most common symptoms of a depressive episode are needed to meet criteria for the diagnosis of MDD. These five symptoms (one of the two depressed mood and decreased in pleasurable activities is also needed) must have been present for most of the day, most days a week for a minimum of two consecutive weeks in order to meet DSM-IV-TR criteria for a MDD diagnosis. Other symptoms are: lack of motivation, decreased libido, irritability, isolation, rumination and loss of self-esteem. Before assigning a MDD diagnosis, the clinician must rule out any other causes including medical conditions, substance use or abuse, other mental disorder or medication induced sxs. If the symptomatology presented does not meet criteria for a MDD and other causes have been ruled out, consider Depression NOS (Not Otherwise Specify).
Specify: Early onset: before age 21 Late onset: after age 21 Specify: based on the two years of symptoms if Atypical features (does not mean unusual clinical presentation as the term may imply). The essential features of atypical are: -mood reactivity (criterion A) And at least two of the following features (criterion B): Increased appetite or weight gain, hypersomnia -leaden paralysis -long-lasting pattern of extreme sensitivity to perceived interpersonal rejection. These features predominate during the most recent 2 year period of the dysthymic disorder.

Manic management attempt is how this person suffering from bipolar disorder titles this chart. He reports did it for two reasons: 1) to track his upward mood and ask for help if he got too up, 2) to track how much sleep he was getting and medication taking since adecuate sleep is one of the best ways to avoid an upward into the full-blown manic episode. He reports: “This chart expresses some of the ebullience, intensity, and desire to maximize self-actualization that I was going through at the time”. The color coded bars indicate the time he was using every day for tasks he considered important for growth and balance. He gave himself starts to mark when he had accomplished his goals. The chart was also an intent to keep track with his hygiene since it tends to suffer when a person is in a manic state.
A manic episode is not a diagnosis, it is a necessary condition for a Bipolar I diagnosis. There are several diagnostic criterion for Bipolar I: Diagnostic criteria for Bipolar I Disorder, Single Manic Episode: A) Presence of only one Manic Episode and no past Major Depressive Episode. Note: Recurrence is defined as either a change in polarity from depression or an interval of at least 2 month without manic symptoms. B) The Manic Episode is not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and is not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. 2) Diagnostic criteria for Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Hypomanic A) Currently (or most recently) in a Hypomanic Episode. B) There has previously been at least one Manic Episode or Mixed Episode. C) The mood symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. D) The mood episodes in Criteria A and B are not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and are not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. 3) Diagnostic Criteria for Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Manic. A) Currently (or most recently) in a Manic Episode. B) There has previously been at least one Major Depressive Episode, Manic Episode, or Mixed Episode. C) The mood episodes in Criteria A and B are not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and are not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. 4) Diagnostic Criteria for Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Mixed. A) Currently (or most recently) in a Mixed Episode. B) There has previously been at least one Major Depressive Episode, Manic Episode, or Mixed Episode. C) The mood episodes in Criteria A and B are not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and are not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, or Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. 5) Diagnostic Criteria for Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Depressed A) Currently (or most recently) in a Major Depressive Episode. B) There has previously been at least one Manic Episode or Mixed Episode. C) The mood episodes in Criteria A and B are not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and are not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. 6) Diagnostic Criteria for Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Unspecified. A) Criteria, except for duration, are currently (or most recently) met for a Manic, a Hypomanic, a Mixed, or a Major Depressive Episode. B) There has previously been at least one Manic Episode or Mixed Episode. C) The mood symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. D) The mood symptoms in Criteria A and B are not better accounted for by Schizoaffective Disorder and are not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. E) The mood symptoms in Criteria A and B are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication, or other treatment) or a general medical condition (e.g. hyperthyroidsm).
A hypomanic episode is not a diagnosis but a necessary condition for a Bipolar II diagnosis. Diagnostic criteria for Bipolar II disorder: Presence (or history) of one or more Major Depressive Episodes. Presence (or history) of at least one Hypomanic Episode. There has never been a Manic Episode or a Mixed Episode. The mood symptoms in Criteria A and B are not better accounted for Schizoaffective Disorder and are not superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder, or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Need to specify whether the most recent episode has been Hypomanic or Depressed.

Bipolar I disorders are characterized by distinct manias and depressions. The person afflicted had one or several phases lasting at least one week in which the criteria for a mania are fulfilled (ICD-10: F30 and 31)
The bipolar II disorder is characterized by less distinct and accordingly shorter lasting manias, the so-called hypomanias, and often serious depressive episodes. This form of the bipolar mood disorder is very important is also very difficult to grasp since in retrospect the hypomanias are often not considered as classifiable as an illness or remembered. (ICD-10: F31.8)
“ Rapid Cycling means a quick change of the episodes. In this special form of bipolar mood disorder at least four (or more) episodes of the mania, hypomania or depression occur within twelve months. Three types are distinguished: Rapid cycling (ICD 10: F31.8) At least four phases per year (in ca. 20% of cases). Ultra rapid cycling (ICD 10: F31.8) change of phase within weeks or days, more than four episodes per month. Ultradian cycling (ICD 10: F31.8) Change of phase within one day on more than four days a week. (ICD-10: F31.8)
n the mixed episodes the symptoms of mania and depression occur in rapid rotation to each another or exist at the same time. The inhibition (depression) classically moving in the same direction or excitement (mania) of emotional, cognitive and psychomotor processes no longer exist in the mixed states. Thus, for example rapid thought and speech (like in mania) can occur at the same time as the anxious-depressive mood. A mixed state is an extraordinarily multiform, a clinical picture that is partly difficult to diagnose and treat. (ICD-10: F31.6)
A weakened form of bipolar mood disorder is the so-called cyclothymia or cyclothymic disorder. In these persons often mood swings of a strong degree of characterization take place continually over a period or at least two years, whereby the criteria for a depression or mania in detail are not fulfilled and which often occur independently of external influences. The transitions are however very fluent so that in people who come into a clinic or outpatients department with the suspected diagnosis cyclothymia often a bipolar (II) disorder can be determined. (ICD-10: F34)
