Case study
Afternoon everyone.
I've looked around for this term but I can't find any convincing translation. All I've found so far is this definition:
SINDROME MANIFORME: Síndrome con características maniacas o hipomaniacas cuya causa aún no está esclarecida, pudiendo ser un trastorno bipolar, por intoxicación por drogas, secundario a corticoides, esquizofrenia, demencia, reacciones psicogénicas transitorias, etc.

Here's an example of how I've seen it used in context:
Aunque los tres casos presentaban antecedentes psiquiátricos de episodios depresivos, sólo el tercero correspondía a un trastorno depresivo grave con características endógenas, y en este caso la brevedad del ***cuadro maniforme*** y la remisión sin tratamiento neuroléptico no apoyan el diagnóstico de un episodio maníaco en el contexto de un trastorno bipolar.
And my own context is this:
"paciente ingresa por un***cuadro maniforme*** con sintomatología psicótica"
Is this perhaps what is known as a "manic episode"?
TIA!

mania-like
Hola Roberto.
Lots of online instances of "mania-like". Mani-forme isn't quite "manic" ... it has the appearance of mania, but the authors are hedging their bets a little.
One brief example (native English authors): "...the possibility of drug and/or alcohol misuse as a cause of mania-like symptoms;"

Oops ... meant to say "mania-like symptoms" or "mania-like condition." Lots of hits for the "symptoms" phrase, less for "condition".

I just happened to be on the computer. Here's another one of lots of examples:
" At baseline level, a patient with cyclothymia may feel stable, but will go through noticeable fluctuations involving emotional highs during hypomanic episodes, with *mania-like symptoms* (but less severe), and emotional troughs with depressive symptoms, but not severe enough to meet the criteria for major depressive episodes."
I worked for a long time in mental health, so I would feel ashamed of myself if I didn't try to suggest an answer to this!

Note from asker:
| Hi Joe, was hoping you'd see this. I was just about to ask you about "cuadro", when you posted "mania-like condition". Thank you! |
