- Affective spectrum
The affective spectrum is a grouping of related psychiatric and medical disorders which may accompany bipolar, unipolar, and
schizoaffective disorder s 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. Affective spectrum disorders include:*
