Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Acute and transient psychotic disorders with good outcome are recognized in both ICD(10) (World Health Organization 1992 A)(51) and DSM IV(American Psychiatric Association 1994)(2) as distinct from schizophrenia and affective psychoses. Right from the beginning acute and transient psychotic disorder and its equivalents have occupied an ambivalent position challenging the kraeplinian dichotomy There is a growing empirical evidence to suggest that acute brief psychoses exhibit a distinctive epidemiological characteristics (Susser, E., Wanderling, J. 45) and benign long term course (44). These evidence support that the concept of ATPD as an distinct nosological entity (Mojtabai et al,27) The place of non affective still remains uncertain in spite of these distinctive features. ICD 10 came closest to the historical concepts of non affective acute remitting psychosis. But the duration criteria is so restrictive while the DSM IV classification differs from ICD 10 by not including acute onset as a criterion for classification of brief psychotic disorder and schizophreniform disorder. The concept of ATPD and its sub categories in the current classification system (ICD 10) differs from DSM IV and is a new concept with no similar categories in DSM IV. As there is a paucity of literature regarding the diagnostic validity and the sub classification the present study attempts to assess the diagnostic stability of acute and transient psychotic disorder and study their clinical characteristics .
