“…Moreover, the Kesebir study showed that people diagnosed with depression score lower in the TEMPS-A regarding hyperthymic temperament ( 10 ). The above data are compatible with the Shahini study, which also revealed a negative correlation between a hyperthymic temperament and depressive symptoms and a positive correlation between depression and the previously mentioned temperament types ( 20 ). According to a study conducted on subjects from the general population in Hungary, the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (ZSDS) score was assessed with TEMPS-A results; anxious, depressive, and cyclothymic temperaments were in substantial positive correlation with depressive scores.…”

“…These increased the risk of affective disorders, including depression ( 17 ). On the other hand, there is speculation that a hyperthymic temperament can provide resistance to depression ( 20 ). The prognosis and course of depression could also be affected by one’s temperament ( 15 , 21 ).…”

“…Das ermöglicht gemeinsam mit der bereits erlernten prospektiven Life-Chart [1,9,10] eine lückenlose Erfassung des Verlaufes [2,11] und seiner Determinanten [12][13][14][15][16][17] durch die bipolare Person. Manche Aspekte des Moduls V (Verlauf) werden durch das Ausfüllen der retrospektiven Life-Chart am eigenen Beispiel deutlich, etwa die Bedeutung von Mischzuständen [18,19], von Komorbiditä-ten [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], von Polaritätswechseln [28,29], von Therapieresistenz [29][30][31] und des Verlaufstyps [32,33]. Dieses stellt eine große Hilfe für den therapeutischen Prozess dar -auch in Hinblick auf das Erreichen von Adhärenz [34] und einer gutenpsychosozialenFunktionsfähigkeit [35] -und macht die Patientin/den Patienten zur Expertin/zum Experten ihrer/ seiner Erkrankung.…”

Purpose Affective temperament shows innate predisposition to affective disorders and has been studied in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Studies describing connections between depressive disorders, obesity and T2DM, show a bidirectional way in which these disorders affect each other. Given that obesity, depression, and T2DM are still growing health problems of our times, the improvement of therapeutic strategies is required. The aim of our study was to evaluate affective temperament in obese individuals with T2DM and pre-diabetes and to investigate the correlations between affective temperaments and glycemic control. Materials and Methods The study enrolled 185 obese individuals (146 females; 39 males) who were diagnosed with pre-diabetes, diabetes or without any carbohydrate disorder. For affective temperament evaluation, Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) was utilized; for glycemic control, the assessment of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was performed. Results We did not observe any significant differences of affective temperament between studied groups. In the group of patients with diabetes, depressive, cyclothymic and anxious temperaments positively correlated with HbA1c values indicating worse glycemic control. Inversly, hyperthymic dimension showed negative correlation with HbA1c values. Conclusion Affective temperaments may affect glycemic control in obese individuals with carbohydrate disorders. Individuals with stronger expression of cyclothymic, depressive and anxious temperaments may need more medical aid for better self-management. Hence, TEMPS-A is an easy and useful tool which may significantly improve the compliance in obese patients with carbohydrate disorders.
