Abstract
Thirty-nine patients with bipolar illness preceded by organic factors were compared to age and sex matched bipolar controls. The patients with pre-existing organic factors were older at onset of their bipolar illness, had fewer depressive episodes, less family history of affective disorder, and were symptomatically different in a number of respects. The nosology of such disorders is discussed and the literature reviewed.Keywords
