Abstract
Affective disorders and schizophrenia were among the first behavioral abnormalities to be expressed in terms of activity measurements. The first edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-I) (APA, 1952, p. 25) included increased motor activity among the formal inclusion criteria for Manic Depressive Reaction, Manic Type (000-x11). Manic Depressive Reaction, Depressed Type (000-x12) was said to be characterized by “motor retardation and inhibition.” The term “stupor” was also used in contrast with agitation (p. 25).
