400 Citations1987Thomas A. Wehr, Frederick K. Goodwin
There appear to be no placebo-controlled studies of switches into mania in bipolar patients during antidepressant treatment, and the available evidence suggests that some bipolar patients become manic, and a few experience rapid cycling, when they are treated with antidepressants.

The British Journal of PsychiatryPhysiogenesis and Psychogenesis in the ‘Post-Concussional Syndrome’
329 Citations1988W Lishman
From the numerous studies carried out to date, it would appear that both physiogenic and psychogenic influences are important in their genesis, but where mild-to-moderate injuries are concerned, organic factors are chiefly relevant in the earlier stages, whereas long-continued symptoms are perpetuated by secondary neurotic developments.

243 Citations1989Markus J.P. Kruesi, J.K. Dale +1 more
An examination of the medical histories of the 28 patients indicated that psychiatric disorders more often preceded the chronic fatigue than followed it, and the rates of psychiatric illness in patients with the Chronic fatigue syndrome appeared high.

188 Citations1988Peter Manu
In this prospective study, two thirds of cases of Chronic fatigue appeared to be caused by psychiatric disorders, and a thorough evaluation of the mental health of patients complaining of chronic fatigue could provide pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches and avoid unnecessary and costly medical investigations and therapies.

164 Citations1988L. C. Archard, Neil E. Bowles +3 more
Data show that enterovirus RNA is present in skeletal muscle of some patients with postviral fatigue syndrome up to 20 years after onset of disease and suggest that a persistent virus infection has an aetiological role.

158 Citations1988Gary Taerk, Brenda B. Toner +3 more
Results indicated that relative to a matched comparison group of non-clinical volunteers, a significant percentage of neuromyasthenic patients met criteria for major depression, and the observation that 50 percent of the sample had a major depressive episode prior to the development of neuromeasthenia suggested that sporadic neuromyastsia may be the result of an organic illness in psychologically susceptible individuals.
