I was thinking about creating a page for "Affective Spectrum Disorder", but suspect the content might go better here... "Although it is officially considered a personality disorder rather than an affective/mood disorder, some experts advocate adding borderline personality disorder (BPD) to the bipolar spectrum. BPD has a lot of similarities to rapid-cycling bipolar type II and other depressive disorders, and many patients show a positive response to the same types of medication." This paragraph addresses specifically the point I wanted to expand upon. My primary source would be Hudson JI, Pope HG Jr. Am J Psychiatry. 1990 May;147(5):552-64. Affective spectrum disorder: does antidepressant response identify a family of disorders with a common pathophysiology? (PMID 2183630). Does this make more sense as a separate page, or an expansion of this one? Amayzes 04:16, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)

[edit] Bipolar spectrum vs. affective spectrum

Is this the same thing as affective spectrum? --Smack (talk) 00:52, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
