Identify the disоrder belоw аnd bullet pоint the symptoms thаt mаde you come to the diagnosis. There is only one answer. A 68-year old woman with a recurrent disorder showing manic symptoms and hallucinations. She showed these symptoms for the first time at the age of 28 years. She suffered paranoia and had acoustic hallucinations. She was treated in a psychiatric ward. After the in-patient treatment, she retired and partly worked as a teacher. However, the psychotic and manic symptoms reoccurred and she tried suicide several times. She was treated with 100 mg clozapine, and the manic symptoms and hallucinations improved. Ten years ago, she was switched from clozapine to the second-generation antipsychotic drug quetiapine (400 mg). With this medication, the residual symptoms improved very much, and she is still active in a self-help group.
