DSPS, ICSD, 2005<br />

Differential Diagnosis:<br />

the start of major mental disturbances, in particu<strong>la</strong>r in the<br />

excited phase of bipo<strong>la</strong>r affective disorder and during<br />

schizophrenic decompensations.<br />

In bipo<strong>la</strong>r mania, however, sleep is also typically<br />

shortened, and such patients have no difficulty arising at<br />

a conventional hour.<br />

In addition, the de<strong>la</strong>yed sleep pattern is usually transient<br />

in major mental disorders and covaries with the mental<br />

symptoms in severity over time.<br />

Persistence of phase-de<strong>la</strong>yed sleep after remission of the<br />

mental symptoms suggests that the patient has DSPS<br />

that was unmasked by the initial mental disturbance.
