“…This finding contrasts with those found previously, showing greater trait anger in alcohol-dependent patients who committed SAs (Haw et al 2001;Sharma and Salim 2014). The theoretical premises of the significance of trait anger in SBs (Giegling et al 2009;Hawkins et al 2014;Sadeh and McNiel 2013) and in SUDs (Coccaro et al 2016;Cougle et al 2017;Goldstein et al 2005;Zarshenas et al 2017) and their associations with impulsivity and aggression traits have been documented, particularly with SUDs (Coccaro et al 2016;Giancola 2002;Parrot and Zeichner 2002;Walitzer et al 2015). Nevertheless, the role of this endophenotype in predisposing patients with SUDs to SBs has been less investigated than for impulsivity and aggression.…”

“…Anger, which ranges "from mild irritation to intense fury and rage" (Spielberger and Reheiser 2009;Veenstra et al 2018), is experienced more often in individuals with SUDs than in the general population (Coccaro et al 2016;Cougle et al 2017;Goldstein et al 2005;Zarshenas et al 2017). While it does not always lead to aggression nor is it a necessary cause for aggression, a robust relationship between these two constructs has been noted (Chereji et al 2012;Henwood et al 2015;Lee and DiGiuseppe 2018).…”

Suicidal behavior (SB) is a major problem in patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). However, little is known about specific SB risk factors in this population, and pathogenetic hypotheses are difficult to disentangle. This study investigated some SB and SUD-related endophenotypes, such as impulsivity, aggression, trait anger, and risk-taking behaviors (RTBs), in forty-eight patients with SUDs in relation to lifetime history of suicide attempts (SAs). Disorders related to alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, opiates, and hallucinogenic drugs were included. Lifetime SAs was significantly associated with both higher impulsivity and higher aggression, but not with trait anger. A higher number of RTBs were associated with lifetime SAs and higher impulsivity, but not with aggression and trait anger. Assessing these endophenotypes could refine clinical SB risk evaluation in SUDs patients by detecting higher-risk subgroups. An important limitation of this study is exiguity of its sample size. Its primary contribution is inclusion of all SUD types.

“…These longstanding characteristics could be amplified or exacerbated by life stress, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, chronic cumulative brain damage, and a number of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. Life stress ( 65 ), financial problems ( 66 ), marital problems ( 66 ), and substance abuse ( 67 , 68 ) are all associated with anger control problems. Military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder frequently have anger control problems ( 69 – 71 ).…”

Background: There are no validated or agreed upon criteria for diagnosing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in a living person. In recent years, it has been proposed that anger dyscontrol represents a behavioral clinical phenotype of CTE. This is the first study to examine the specificity of the diagnostic research criteria for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES, the clinical condition proposed to be CTE) in men from the US general population who have anger dyscontrol problems. It was hypothesized that a substantial percentage of these men would meet the research criteria for TES. Methods: Data from 4,139 men who participated in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, an in-person survey that examined the prevalence and correlates of mental disorders in the United States, were included in this study. Men who were diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder in the past year were the clinical sample of interest (n = 206; 5.0% of all men in the database), and the remaining men were used as a comparison sample. They were classified as meeting the research criteria for TES if they presented with the purported supportive clinical features of CTE (e.g., impulsivity/substance abuse, anxiety, apathy, suicidality, headache). Results: In this sample of men from the general population with intermittent explosive disorder, 27.3% met a conservative definition of the proposed research criteria for CTE (i.e., traumatic encephalopathy syndrome). If one assumes the delayed-onset criterion is present, meaning that the men in the sample are compared to former athletes or military veterans presenting with mental health problems years after retirement, then 65.0% of this sample would meet the research criteria for TES. Conclusions: These results have important implications. Using conservative criteria, at least one in four men from the general population, who have serious anger control problems, will meet the symptom criteria for TES. If one considers former athletes and Iverson and Gardner Anger Control Problems and CTE military veterans with anger control problems who present many years after retirement and who experienced a documented decline in their mental health, nearly two-thirds will meet these research criteria. More research is needed to examine risks for misdiagnosing TES and to determine whether anger dyscontrol is a clinical phenotype of CTE.

“…[12] Various researches have investigated the positive effects of such a treatment approach in different groups. [1314] With regard to existence of few studies on the effect of CBT on drug dependent persons' and their family members' burden and with respect to psychiatric nurses ability in applying such techniques in treatment,[15] the present study aimed to investigate the effect of CBT on the burden of the caregivers of drug dependent persons.…”

Background: Drug dependence is one of the current problems that leads to the drug dependents persons' suffer and imposes a huge mental burden to their family members. This study aimed investigating to determine the effect of cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT) on the burden of the caregivers of drug dependent people. In CBT, caregivers discover thought and behavioral mistakes and recover them. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 64 caregivers of drug dependent individuals referring to one of the clinical and educational centers in Isfahan, Iran, which were randomly assigned to two equal groups (intervention and control) in 2016. Intervention group under went eight 90-min CBT sessions, whereas control group attended 3 group sessions to express their experiences. Data were collected by Zarit Burden scale and the demographic questionnaire and analyzed by independent t-test, Chi-square, and ANCOVA repeated measure through SPSS 18. Results: Before the intervention, no statistical difference was observed among two groups in the mean scores of burden ( t = 0.75, p = 0.46). There was a significant difference between three time points in the intervention group ( F = 3.24, p < 0.001). However, care burden mean score did not show a significant reduction in the control group ( F = 0.17, p = 0.96). Conclusions: The CBT can lead to reduction of burden in drug dependent caregivers'. We suggest encouraging nurses to establish educational programs such as CBT to maintain and improve caregiver's mental health.
