- Abstract
It is evident that psychological recourses and stress tolerance capacity are found poor in various psychiatric conditions that have significant impact on their treatment outcome but are less studied. This study caters to the need to assess and compare the presence of psychological resources, stress tolerance abilities, and capacity to control, as well as coping ability in patients with BPAD and schizophrenia. A sample of 30 patients with Schizophrenia and 30 patients with BPAD, diagnosed clinically by a consultant psychiatrist based on ICD-10 were selected for the study from Gwalior Mansik Arogyashala. (Gwalior Mental Hospital) Patients of both genders, ranging from 18-50 years, having more than 16 responses on Rorschach were included in the study. The findings of the study reveal that patients with BPAD have significant differences in various Rorschach variables such as psychological resources, though poor in both groups, but were extremely limited in patients with schizophrenia compared to the patients with BPAD. Minimal stress tolerance was seen in patients with schizophrenia in comparison to BPAD. Situational stress is seen more in BPAD, with poor capacity of control in both groups.
