“…Since then the correlation between ag gression and depression has been discussed with differing results [cf. 3,4], More recent empirical investigations, which we have re ported elsewhere [5], also failed to reach a definite conclusion, although it is proble matic to compare the various studies because of differences in methodology and different definitions of the word 'aggression'.…”

The Questionnaire for Measuring Factors of Aggression (Fragebogen zur Erfassung von Aggressivitätsfaktoren, FAF) was completed by 113 depressive patients, 38 psoriatics, and 32 healthy controls. The controls had the lowest aggression scores, the neurotic depressives the highest. The monopolar endogenous depressives had extremely high scores for autoaggressions and extremely low ones for outward aggressions, whereas the psoriatics show a contrary tendency: extremely high scores for outward aggressions and very low ones for autoaggressions.

“…Because of this sensitivity to different aspects of aggressive behaviour, the questionnaire has been used widely in German-speaking populations in various clinical and non-clinical contexts. It was used to measure the relationship between aggression and allergic disorders (31,32), rheumatoid arthritis (33) and patients with hand dermatitis (34). Additionally, the FAF was used to correlate behaviour with specific genotypes in psychiatric patients (35)(36)(37)(38)(39) and in personality diagnostics in Austrian (40) and Swiss psychiatric patients (41).…”

Background: The hypothalamus has been discussed as a pivotal structure for both cluster headache (CH) and aggressiveness, but little is known about the extent of self-reported aggressiveness in patients with CH. Patients and methods: Twenty-six patients with chronic, 25 with active episodic and 22 with episodic CH outside the active period were examined interictally with a validated questionnaire quantifying factors of aggression and compared with 24 migraine patients and 31 headache-free volunteers. Results: The ANOVA was significant for the subscale 'self-aggression/depression' (F 4, 123 ¼ 5.771, p < 0.001) with significant differences between chronic and episodic CH and healthy volunteers. No significant changes were found for other subscales and the sum scale (F 4, 123 < 1.421, p > 0.230). Especially in the clinically most affected group of patients (chronic CH and active episodic CH), high levels of ''self-aggression/depression'' correlate with higher prevalence of depressive symptoms and higher impairment measured on an emotional and functional level. Discussion: Self-aggressive and depressive cognitions with highest scores in chronic CH seem to be reactive as they correlate with depressive symptoms and impairment. They should be considered as an important therapeutic target since they impair the patient's life significantly.
