Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a factor analytical study of mania in Nepal.
To identify and characterize subtypes of manic episodes.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional descriptive study involving 50 patients meeting ICD-10 criteria for manic episode or bipolar disorder.

Factor analysis revealed four primary factors explaining 51.082% of the variance.
These factors were characterized as 'pure mania' (11 symptoms), 'dysphoric mania' (5 symptoms), 'hostile mania' (6 symptoms), and 'delirious mania' (4 symptoms).

Conclusions:

The identified factors provide a useful conceptual framework for understanding atypical features in acute mania.
Further validation studies are needed to establish the clinical and theoretical significance of these subtypes.
