affective psychosis

A usually recurrent mental disorder in which there is a severe disturbance of mood—mostly compounded of depression and anxiety but also manifested as elation and excitement—which is accompanied by one or more of the following:
• Delusions;
• Perplexity;
• Disturbed attitude to self;
• Disorder of perception and behaviour.
These are all in keeping with the patient's prevailing mood—as are hallucinations, if they occur. There is a strong tendency to suicide. Mild disorders of mood—in particular, mild hypomania—may be included under the umbrella term affective psychosis if the symptoms match closely the above descriptions.
