“…Compensatory mechanisms could also be adjusted to olfactory deficits in PD. Recent findings by Lemogne et al [51] revealed decreased error rates for facial fear and disgust in patients with long-lasting anosmia. The authors suggested that anosmic patients may compensate their inability to detect environmental hazards through olfaction by an increased ability to detect fear or disgust as facially expressed by others.…”

“…For instance, Clepce et al (2012) found that people with anxiety disorders showed reduced olfactory performance (specifically, difficulties in distinguishing odors). Lemogne et al (2015), however, detected no differences in trait anxiety between anosmic and normosmic individuals. In contrast, Schienle et al (2018) found that anosmic patients actually reported experiencing fewer somatic anxiety symptoms in their daily lives (reduced trait arousal) than normosmics.…”

“…Although the exact reasons for the observed correlations are not known, it becomes obvious that specific anxiety symptoms are specifically related to olfactory performance. This may at least partly explain the inconsistent results that have been found to date between (pathological) anxiety and olfactory performance (Clepce et al 2012;Lemogne et al 2015;Schienle et al 2018).…”

Introduction Correlations between olfactory performance and particular personality traits (e.g., disgust proneness), as well as symptoms of specific mental disorders (e.g., depression) have been found in numerous studies with adults. The present questionnaire study examined whether similar associations already exist in childhood. Method The olfactory discrimination ability of 66 children (32 boys and 34 girls aged between 7 and 11 years) was tested. In addition, the children filled out screening questionnaires to assess the severity of symptoms related to depression, various anxiety disorders (e.g., panic disorder, social anxiety disorder), and disgust proneness. A multiple regression analysis was calculated with olfactory performance as criterion variable and questionnaire scores as predictor variables. Results The results showed that depression and disgust proneness were negatively associated with olfactory discrimination ability. Moreover, high levels of social anxiety and low levels of panic symptoms were found to be positive predictors of olfactory performance. Conclusion This investigation identified specific associations between olfactory performance and affective symptoms in children. Implications Future tests with pediatric samples (children with anxiety disorders, depression) are recommended.

“…Further, patients with congenital anosmia reported enhanced social anxiety in a study by Croy et al ( 2012 ). However, Lemogne et al ( 2015 ) found no statistically significant differences in trait anxiety between patients with congenital anosmia and healthy controls. Lehrner et al ( 2015 ) reported elevated neuroticism scores for a group of dysosmic patients (relative to normosmic controls), pointing to the role of emotional instability in olfactory dysfunction.…”

“…These patients obtained higher mean scores (M ± SD) on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Hautzinger et al 1994 ) than normosmic controls (10.47 ± 9.38 vs. 4.63 ± 6.61). Lemogne et al ( 2015 ) compared three groups (congenital anosmia, acquired anosmia, normosmia) and found slightly higher BDI scores in patients with both types of anosmia, relative to normosmic individuals (all groups were characterized by average BDI scores ≤ 10). A review and data combination of three studies (Kohli et al 2016 ) on primary olfactory dysfunction and depression obtained similar findings.…”

Affective Personality Traits in Olfactory Dysfunction: the Role of Dysthymia and Arousal

IntroductionOlfactory dysfunction can have a negative impact on emotional well-being. The aim of the present study was to examine associations between olfactory deficits and two affective personality characteristics (trait anxiety/trait depression).MethodsA questionnaire study was conducted with a total of 116 participants (33 classified as anosmic, 40 as hyposmic, and 39 as normosmic). All participants gave self-reports on two facets of trait depression (dysthymia, euthymia) and trait anxiety (arousal, worrying). Due to the fact that in all three groups, trait depression and anxiety were substantially correlated, analyses of covariance were conducted.ResultsAfter controlling for trait depression, anosmic and hyposmic patients showed lower trait arousal compared to normosmic controls (partial η 2 = .05). After controlling for trait anxiety, patients scored higher on dysthymia (partial η 2 = .06).ConclusionsThis study underlines the importance of statistically isolating specific associations between each of these affective personality characteristics and olfactory dysfunction.ImplicationsThe present findings suggest that olfactory dysfunction can have opposite effects on facets of trait depression and trait anxiety.
