Abstract:
To determine if the number of participants with psychiatric disorders increased in association with failures on symptom validity tests (SVTs) and a performance validity test (PVT) in patients admitted for evaluation of possible seizures. The 254 participants were individuals undergoing inpatient video-EEG monitoring for the diagnosis of possible seizures. DSM-IV psychiatric disorders were diagnosed with the SCID IV. The correlational design does not allow conclusions about cause and effect. The number of participants with psychiatric disorders increased in association with symptom exaggeration and performance invalidity. Symptom exaggeration was more frequent than performance invalidity, but the TOMM made a unique contribution to identification of invalidity. The results also suggest the need for caution in diagnosing psychiatric disorders when there is symptom exaggeration or performance invalidity.
