“…We have recently reported increased BDNF levels for ED [11] . Moreover, high comorbidity between ED and Axis I or Axis II disorders, such as affective disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, impulse control disorders and substance abuse, has been described [13][14][15][16][17][22][23][24] . Accordingly, the degree of comorbidity could be modulated by BDNF expression levels.…”

Background: Evidence of a role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathophysiology of eating disorders (ED) has been provided by association studies and by murine models. BDNF plasma levels have been found altered in ED and in psychiatric disorders that show comorbidity with ED. Aims: Since the role of BDNF levels in ED-related psychopathological symptoms has not been tested, we investigated the correlation of BDNF plasma levels with the Symptom Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90R) questionnaire in a total of 78 ED patients. Methods: BDNF levels, measured by the enzyme-linked immunoassay system, and SCL-90R questionnaire, were assessed in a total of 78 ED patients. The relationship between BDNF levels and SCL-90R scales was calculated using a general linear model. Results: BDNF plasma levels correlated with the Global Severity Index and the Positive Symptom Distress Index global scales and five of the nine subscales in the anorexia nervosa patients. BDNF plasma levels were able to explain, in the case of the Psychoticism subscale, up to 17% of the variability (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Our data suggest that BDNF levels could be involved in the severity of the disease through the modulation of psychopathological traits that are associated with the ED phenotype.

“…Pathological gambling has also frequently been associated substance use, depression, anxiety disorders, other impulse control disorders and attention deficit disorders (Fernández-Aranda et al, 2006;Kessler et al, 2008;Petry, Stinson, & Grant, 2005;Stewart, Zack, Collins, & Klein, 2008). Thus, PGs may exhibit psychopathological traits related to inadequate anger expressions and deficits in coping with anger and frustration.…”

The aim of this study was to explore the association between pathological gambling (PG) and anger by assessing whether psychopathology and personality are related to PG and to evaluate gender differences. The sample comprised 71 PGs and 37 healthy controls. Anger, psychopathology and personality were assessed with the STAXI-2, SCL-90-R and TCI-R respectively. Gender did not affect anger expression after stratifying by diagnostic condition (p > .05). Among PG patients, anger, psychopathology and personality measures were correlated with good effect-size (r > .30). Scores in the Anger Temperament (B = 0.21, p = .038) and Anger External-Expression (B = 0.27, p = .029) scales were positively associated with PG severity scores. Anger expression in PG should be considered in future treatment programs.

“…Impulse control disorders share biopsychological vulnerabilities and clinical and psychopathological characteristics, expressed in the form of neuropsychological deficits [2,3], personality traits, namely impulsivity or risk-taking [4], and psychopathological impairment [5]. In individuals with PG, higher impulsivity has been associated with specific subgroups of patients, severity of the disorder, poorer psychological functioning, less effective coping skills and poorer treatment outcome [2,6].…”

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics and differences in response to treatment of two groups of pathological gamblers: with comorbid Parkinson’s disease (PG + PD) and without (PG – PD). Methods: Clinical and psychopathological profiles and response to cognitive-behavioral treatment were assessed in 15 PG + PD and 45 PG – PD individuals consulting a specialized hospital Unit. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups on a series of clinical variables. PG + PD patients were older and presented later onset of problematic gambling behaviors, lower alcohol consumption and higher bingo playing than PG – PD patients. No significant differences were noted in psychopathology except for lower measures of hostility in the PG + PD group. No statistical differences were detected between groups in terms of response to treatment. Conclusion: These results may provide guidance for obtaining accurate diagnostic information in pathological gamblers by properly identifying patients with specific needs that may be targeted with treatment.
