Abstract
A group of 50 patients (29 bipolar and 21 unipolar) hospitalized for depression were compared on the IPAT Anxiety Scale. The bipolar depressed group reported significantly less anxiety than the unipolar group. This finding supports the results of other studies that reported relatively less psychopathology in bipolar groups during the acute depressive state. It is suggested that test‐taking defensiveness, especially denial, might account for relatively lower anxiety and MMPI scores in bipolar groups.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
