Psychological Reports 1962; 10:799-812) NAME RATER DATE The following words are taken from the original paper: “The primary purpose in developing the BPRS has been the development of a highly efficient, rapid evaluation procedure for use in assessing treatment change in psychiatric patients while at the same time yielding a rather comprehensive description of major symptom characteristics. Psychological Reports 1962; 10:799-812) As compared with the population of patients who do have the symptom in question, what is the degree of severity of the symptom in this particular patient? SOMATIC CONCERN Degree of concern over present bodily health. Rate the degree to which physical health is perceived as a problem by the patient, whether complaints have realistic basis or not. ANXIETY Worry, fear or over-concern for present or future. Do not infer anxiety from physical signs or from neurotic defence mechanisms. Rate only degree to which the patient gives the impression of failing to be in emotional contract with other people in the interview situation. CONCEPTUAL DISORGANISATION Degree to which the thought processes are confused, disconnected or disorganised. GUILT FEELINGS Over-concern or remorse for past behaviour. Tension should be rated solely on the basis of physical Signes and motor behaviour and not on the basis of subjective experiences of tension reported by the patient. MANNERISMSN AND POSTURING Unusual and unnatural motor behaviour, the type of motor behaviour which causes certain mental patients to stand out in a crowd of normal people. Rate only abnormality of movements; do not rate simple heightened motor activity here. GRANDIOSITY Exaggerated self-opinion conviction of unusual ability or powers. DEPRESSIVE MOOD Despondency in mood, sadness, rate only degree of despondence; do not rate on the basis of inferences concerning depression based upon general retardation and somatic complaints. HOSTILITY Animosity, contempt, belligerence, disdain for other people outside the interview situation. Rate solely on the basis of the verbal report of feelings and actions of the patient toward others; do not infer hostility from neurotic defences, anxiety nor somatic complaints. SUSPICIOUSNESS Belief, delusional or otherwise that others have now, or have had in the past, malicious or discriminatory intent toward the patient. On the basis of verbal report, rate only those suspicions which are currently held whether they concern past or present circumstances. HALLUCINATORY BEHAVIOUR Perceptions without normal external stimulus correspondence.

The complexity starts in The interpretation of epidemiologic estimates of this type estimating the numerator of the ratio; here, it is necessary can be tricky. These estimates certainly do not reflect which to mix the probability of becoming dependent with the drugs are associated with a greater potential for dependence probability of continuing to be dependent. In the community at large, exogenous factors, sustained in estimating the denominator of the ratio. An additional complexity enters users do not survive from the time of first use to the time the picture because drug dependence, as a process, becomes of field survey assessment, either dying or disappearing from one of the determinants of whether a person continues to the sampling frame of the epidemiologic survey before a use a drug once drug use has been initiated. Hence, the diagnostic assessment can be completed (see ref.

For example, Grant (15,16) estimated that alcohol of relative dependence liability. At best, this estimated ratio dependence developed in about 20% of drinkers, that drug reflects the proportion of active drug users who may, in dependence developed in about 19% of persons initiating theory, require drug dependence treatment services—that illicit drug use, and that 16% of active illicit drug users were is, it is an indicator of burden. This kind of statistic may dependent on illicit drugs. Its utility in etiologic studies survey estimates for the number of active dependence cases is compromised by its complexity.

In the earliest reports, the approach involved drug users). Often, the analyses to disclose variation are not guessing the number of untreated or nonincarcerated drug intended to produce links in a chain of causal inferences. Examples of Epidemiologic Evidence This workis at the margin of the scientific enterprise. As a source of authoritative scientific evidence, it is of Two of the most robust findings from epidemiologic studies dubious value and based on assumptions that are not well on the location of drug dependence cases within population tested and may never be testable.

Some have speculated that chronic insomnia may mised sleep efficiencies and intermittent waking time (13), contribute to the development of major depressions (10, it is not clear that sleep is significantly disparate from that 11); however, prospective controlled studies are needed to of noncomplaining sleepers in the majority of insomniacs. Kales and associates (5) found that Second, studies consistently find that insomniacs do not insomniacs also exhibited symptoms mood changes, such demonstrate daytime sleepiness, as measured by the Multi as dysphoric mood, worry, tension, anxiety, and irritability. These results must physiologically aroused, but rather passive and calm. Inability to to hypothesize that there may be different types of insom initiate sleep may be a characteristic of insomniacs both niacs: (a) hypoactive, as described; and (b) hyperactive, who during the day and night. This measure is of dubious utility in the evaluation of sleepi The causal direction of the relationship between insom ness in those who cannot initiate sleep. We cannot To circumvent this measurement difficulty, Lichstein readily assume that psychiatric symptoms are merely se and colleagues have used an index of sleepiness that does quelae of insomnia, nor can we definitively assume that not depend on sleep ability, but rather diameter of the pupil insomnia is always a consequence of psychopathology. Although there is some evidence Clearly, we need to attend to the relationship between mood to suggest that insomniacs differ from noninsomniacs on and insomnia. Even if criteria for a diagnostic disorder are sleepiness as measured by pupillometry (19,20), the effects not met, the interplay between moods and insomnia need were marginal. The technique may be promising, but the to be examined in order to increase our knowledge of the results are inconclusive. One would expect that concentration and memory difficulties (4). Compared to a worsening of nighttime sleep would exacerbate daytime noninsomniacs, insomniacs also rate their attention, mem impairment. Although there is some evidence that insomniacs 15,20) do not always directly relate to measures of daytime have difficulty with semantic memory (13), reaction time, functioning. Interestingly, Sugerman and asso both insomniacs and noninsomniacs. What, then, could boration), displayed cognitive deficits. Thus, there may be account for the decrements in daytime functioning? First, these data lead one to question whether Hypothesized Mechanisms or not insomniacs are indeed sleep deprived; and second, to hypothesize what could account for these reported symp Several studies support the notion that insomniacs are not toms if not sleep deprivation. This chronic activa tion may account for the inability to fall asleep at night and Are Insomniacs Sleep Deprived? Bonnet Daytime symptoms may not solely be attributable to sleep and Arand (22) 'yoked' the sleep of controls to that of loss. First, for the majority of insomniacs it is questionable insomniacs. Insomniacs demonstrated a pattern of hyper- time performance is markedly impaired. Studies demon arousal inconsistent with sleep deprivation (increased meta strate impaired vigilance, reduced reaction times, daytime bolic rate, body temperature, tension, and decreased vigor); microsleeps, memory impairment, and depressive symp therefore, daytime symptoms may be the result of hyper- toms (28–30). Findley and associates (31) found that per- arousal, not sleep deprivation. For example, anxi and simple reaction times—than did age-matched control ety could account for sleep onset difficulties at night and participants. The outcomes of these problems include im symptoms of fatigue during the day (23). Likewise, Coyle pairment in work efficiency, increased automobile accident (24) found that insomniacs with negative affect perceived rates, and decrements in quality of life.

Two classes make to small amounts of sleep loss (17).
