“…The rates of PUI reported in the present study are in line with previous studies describing high rates of both drugrelated and behavioral addictions in BD (20), despite appearing to be slightly higher than those specifically reporting PUI rates. Methodological differences may render comparison difficult (26,27) corroborating the fact that the relationship between PUI and mood disorders has resulted to be complex (15) and the comorbidity rates are still object of arguing.…”

“…During elevated mood episodes, in fact, increased tendency to PUI may be related to arousal, restlessness, and enhanced excitement or may be a manifestation of an inclination for reward-based behaviors. Conversely, others have suggested that PUI, as well as other behavioral addictions may represent a self-medication strategy for bipolar individuals, to cope with anxiety, tension, and other negative emotions of depressive episodes (20).…”

“…Despite other behavioral addictions including gambling disorder, compulsive buying, or sex addiction, are commonly reported in individuals with BD (20)(21)(22), scant and still inconclusive data are available on the PUI. On the other hand, some studies reported BD rates among individuals with PUI ranging between 13% and 55% (14,18,19).…”

Background: Literature shows a high risk for problematic use of the Internet (PUI) in mood disorders, especially in bipolar disorder (BD). In subjects with BD, traumatic events and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are related to alcohol or substance use disorder, as well as to gambling disorder. However, little is known about the possible association between traumatic exposure and PUI. The present study was aimed at examining the relationship between PUI and trauma exposure, besides PTSD symptoms, in subjects with BD.Methods: A sample of 113 subjects with BD was screened to putative PUI. Furthermore, they completed the Trauma and Loss Spectrum Self-Report (TALS-SR) to assess traumatic events and posttraumatic stress symptoms.Results: Twenty-four subjects (21.2%) reported putative PUI. Subjects with putative PUI presented significantly higher scores in the TALS-SR domains Potentially Traumatic Events, Re-experiencing, Maladaptive coping, and Arousal, as well as in the TALS-SR total score. In a logistic regression model, a positive association emerged between Potentially Traumatic Events and Arousal TALS-SR domains and putative PUI.Conclusion: One in five patients with BD screened positive for PUI. A significant association between PUI and lifetime traumatic events as well as PTSD symptoms emerged, highlighting the relevance of the comorbidity between PTSD and PUI in subjects with BD.

People with bipolar disorder are at high risk of serious complications during the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited access to care, lifestyle, health condition and other clinical characteristics increase the risk of contracting the new coronavirus disease, with more risk of developing severe forms, as well as that of bipolar relapse. Here, we will describe some problematic situations that may be encountered by bipolar patients during this pandemic period, and the measures that can be taken to reduce the impact of such problems on bipolar disorder course. Maintaining a daily schedule with relaxing and pleasing activities, getting enough sleep, keeping contact with mental health professionals and continuing prescribed medication, are important measures to prevent relapse. Family and friends, have also a key role in accompanying and supporting patients in these crisis time.

“…Clinical and epidemiological research studies have consistently shown that behavioral addictions are associated with a wide range of psychiatric disorders (Varo et al 2019). Craving can drive addictive behaviors by increasing the salience of the desired behavior and by occupying the inhibition brain system.…”

In the present study, the Turkish version of the Craving for Online Shopping Scale (TCOSS) was developed by modifying items on the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS). The sample comprised 475 adult volunteers (233 women and 242 men) from three different non-clinical samples recruited online. The structure validity of the TCOSS was examined utilizing exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and criterion validity testing. The EFA showed that the TCOSS had a unidimensional structure that explained 80% of the total variance. The five-item unidimensional structure of the TCOSS then underwent further testing using two different samples. First, the structure of the TCOSS was tested using CFA, which confirmed the unidimensional factor structure. Second, measurement invariance of the TCOSS was conducted through structural invariance, metric invariance, and scalar invariance across different samples. This demonstrated the TCOSS had measurement invariance across different samples (CFA and criterion validity samples). Criterion validity of the TCOSS was tested using the Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, Brief Self-Control Scale, Compulsive Online Shopping Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and self-reported personal information. According to the criterion validity results, the TCOSS assessed the structure it targets. Cronbach’s α internal consistency coefficients of the TCOSS were .94 in the EFA sample, .94 in the CFA sample, and .96 in the criterion validity sample. When validity and reliability analysis of the TCOSS are considered as a whole, it is concluded that the TCOSS is a valid and reliable scale for assessing craving for online shopping among online shoppers.
