Philosophy:Affective spectrum
The affective spectrum is a spectrum of affective disorders (mood disorders).[1] It is a grouping of related psychiatric and medical disorders which may accompany bipolar, unipolar, and schizoaffective disorders at statistically higher rates than would normally be expected. These disorders are identified by a common positive response to the same types of pharmacologic treatments. They also aggregate strongly in families and may therefore share common heritable underlying physiologic anomalies.
Types
Affective spectrum disorders include:
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder[2][3]
- Bipolar disorder
- Body dysmorphic disorder
- Bulimia nervosa[2][3] and other eating disorders
- Dysthymia[3]
- Generalized anxiety disorder[3]
- Impulse-control disorders
- Kleptomania
- Major depressive disorder[2][3]
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder[2][3]
- Oppositional defiant disorder
- Panic disorder[2][3]
- Posttraumatic stress disorder[3]
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder[3]
- Social anxiety disorder[3]
The following may also be present as co-morbidities for affective mood disorders
- Chronic pain
- Intermittent explosive disorder[4]
- Pathological gambling
- Personality disorder
- Pyromania
- Substance abuse and addiction (includes alcoholism)
- Trichotillomania
- Irritable bowel syndrome[2][3]
- Fibromyalgia[3]
