    In a study that followed 111 manic-depressive patients over 17.8 years, 65 patients recovered, 24 improved, and 22 did not fully recover. Several factors such as being female, having only manic attacks or both manic and depressive attacks, and a history of paranoid delusions were associated with an unfavorable long-term prognosis. Overall, the prognosis for manic-depressive illness was found to be relatively favorable.

    Long-term Prognosis in Manic-Depressive Illness

    A Follow-up Investigation of 111 Patients

    Frank O. Shobe, MD; Pacelli Brion, MD,  Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1971;24(4):334-337

    In a four-year period 115 manic-depressive patients were seen  and subsequently


    followed over a period of 17.8 years. Sixty-five patients had recovered, 24 patients
    had improved, and 22 had not fully recovered. Several factors may be related to an
    unfavorable course in manic-depressive illness. More women than men did  not
    recover. Prognosis was somewhat poorer in those patients  with mania only, or both
    manic and depressive attacks of the illness. A history of paranoid delusions seemed
    to point to a poor prognosis. The prognosis in manic-depressive illness is relatively
    favorable.
