An investigation of 107 patients diagnosed as having mania, according to the criteria of K. Schneider, showed that this mania is a syndrome of affective, psycho‐motor, behavioral and formal thought disturbances, while productive psychotic symptoms are rare. Four psychopathological subgroups were defined: (1) mixed mania, (2) irritable mania, (3) megalomania, and (4) flight‐of‐ideas mania.
