“…As somatic symptoms are related to higher perceived pain severity and pain hypersensitivity, lower thresholds of somatic-related pain are needed to elicit anger arousals (Koh et al, 2005). These arousals, associated with hostile distortions and high sensibility to aversive stimulation found in depressed individuals (Dix et al, 2014;Smith et al, 2016), may predispose mothers with high depressive-somatic comorbidity in the DSS cluster to even greater levels of dysregulated behavioral anger expression in parenting and coparenting interactions (Callender et al, 2012;Du Rocher Schudlich and Cummings, 2007;. Though deductively logical, this interplay between depressive-somatic comorbidity, pain, anger, and family interactions should be examined in future research.…”

“…One potential risk factor for perpetrating IPV against women is mental illness, and etiological links may differ between different disorders. Common deficits associated with mental disorders, such as poor interpersonal skills and emotional dysregulation [9,10], and specific core symptoms of certain disorders—such as impulsivity manifested in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance use disorders [11,12] and hostility exhibited in some people with mood disorders and antisocial personality disorder [13–15]—have been linked to IPV against women [15,16]. Preliminary evidence suggests that individuals with mental illness have increased risk of perpetrating IPV against women [17,18].…”

BackgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) against women is associated with a wide range of adverse outcomes. Although mental disorders have been linked to an increased risk of perpetrating IPV against women, the direction and magnitude of the association remain uncertain. In a longitudinal design, we examined the association between mental disorders and IPV perpetrated by men towards women in a population-based sample and used sibling comparisons to control for factors shared by siblings, such as genetic and early family environmental factors.Methods and findingsUsing Swedish nationwide registries, we identified men from 9 diagnostic groups over 1998–2013, with sample sizes ranging from 9,529 with autism to 88,182 with depressive disorder. We matched individuals by age and sex to general population controls (ranging from 186,017 to 1,719,318 controls), and calculated the hazard ratios of IPV against women. We also estimated the hazard ratios of IPV against women in unaffected full siblings (ranging from 4,818 to 37,885 individuals) compared with the population controls. Afterwards, we compared the hazard ratios for individuals with psychiatric diagnoses with those for siblings using the ratio of hazard ratios (RHR). In sensitivity analyses, we examined the contribution of previous IPV against women and common psychiatric comorbidities, substance use disorders and personality disorders. The average follow-up time across diagnoses ranged from 3.4 to 4.8 years. In comparison to general population controls, all psychiatric diagnoses studied except autism were associated with an increased risk of IPV against women in men, with hazard ratios ranging from 1.5 (95% CI 1.3–1.7) to 7.7 (7.2–8.3) (p-values < 0.001). In sibling analyses, we found that men with depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, alcohol use disorder, drug use disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and personality disorders had a higher risk of IPV against women than their unaffected siblings, with RHR values ranging from 1.7 (1.3–2.1) to 4.4 (3.7–5.2) (p-values < 0.001). Sensitivity analyses showed higher risk of IPV against women in men when comorbid substance use disorders and personality disorders were present, compared to risk when these comorbidities were absent. In addition, increased IPV risk was also found in those without previous IPV against women. The absolute rates of IPV against women ranged from 0.1% to 2.1% across diagnoses over 3.4 to 4.8 years. Individuals with alcohol use disorders (1.7%, 1,406/82,731) and drug use disorders (2.1%, 1,216/57,901) had the highest rates. Our analyses were restricted to IPV leading to arrest, suggesting that the applicability of our results may be limited to more severe forms of IPV perpetration.ConclusionsOur results indicate that most of the studied mental disorders are associated with an increased risk of perpetrating IPV towards women, and that substance use disorders, as principal or comorbid diagnoses, have the highest absolute and relative risks. The findings support the development of IPV...

“…One of the most prominent cognitive changes in depression is the tendency to process emotionally ambiguous information in a negative/pessimistic manner. Negative biases in perception of neutral/ambiguous facial expressions 2–4 , attribution of others’ behaviors 5,6 , and more commonly, interpretation of self-relevant ambiguous stimuli 7,8 have been consistently observed in spontaneous and/or induced depressed mood. Although debatable, there is also evidence that these biases may play a causal role in depression 9,10 .…”

Ambiguity Processing Bias Induced by Depressed Mood Is Associated with Diminished Pleasantness

Depressed individuals are biased to perceive, interpret, and judge ambiguous cues in a negative/pessimistic manner. Depressed mood can induce and exacerbate these biases, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We theorize that depressed mood can bias ambiguity processing by altering one’s subjective emotional feelings (e.g. pleasantness/unpleasantness) of the cues. This is because when there is limited objective information, individuals often rely on subjective feelings as a source of information for cognitive processing. To test this theory, three groups (induced depression vs. spontaneous depression vs. neutral) were tested in the Judgement Bias Task (JBT), a behavioral assay of ambiguity processing bias. Subjective pleasantness/unpleasantness of cues was measured by facial electromyography (EMG) from the zygomaticus major (ZM, “smiling”) and from the corrugator supercilii (CS, “frowning”) muscles. As predicted, induced sad mood (vs. neutral mood) yielded a negative bias with a magnitude comparable to that in a spontaneous depressed mood. The facial EMG data indicates that the negative judgement bias induced by depressed mood was associated with a decrease in ZM reactivity (i.e., diminished perceived pleasantness of cues). Our results suggest that depressed mood may bias ambiguity processing by affecting the reward system.

Hostile interpretation bias in depression

Abstract: Overall, the findings suggest hostile interpretation bias may play a unique role in depression and could be a treatable feature of interpersonal mechanisms maintaining MDD.
