“… 48 , 49 In studies examining the effect of personality traits on relapse in alcohol dependence, traits such as having a neurotic personality, risk-taking tendency and low mental resilience were found to be associated with higher relapse. 50 , 51 Similarly, high neuroticism and low consequences were found to be associated with high relapse in substance abusers. As a result, it can be said that high emotional instability and behavioral disinhibition are related with a relapse of heavy use of alcohol and other drugs.…”

Alcohol and substance use disorder (ASUD) is a chronic condition featuring relapses and remissions. Due to their multifactorial nature, the causes of relapses in ASUD are not fully understood and it is important to update the information. Therefore, we aimed to provide an update on research examining factors associated with relapses, organized into sections. Factors such as early age of onset, dysfunction in the brain reward system, poor physical health, sleep disturbance, comorbid psychiatric disorders, severity of ASUD, craving, low self-efficacy, negative life events, and low socioeconomic status have been consistently shown to increase the relapse rate of ASUD. Conversely, factors such as positive family functioning, strong social support, treatment motivation and regular medication appear to decrease relapse rates. Studies on gender and genetic factors have yielded mixed results and no consistent relationship with relapses has been found. While pharmaceutical agents such as methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone are effective in preventing relapse in opioid and alcohol use disorders; there are no agents proven to be effective in other substance use disorders. Psychotherapeutic approaches, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step programs and contingency management have been demonstrated to be effective. The treatment of addiction to substances is intricate and necessitates biopsychosocial interventions. However, despite all treatments, high relapse rates indicate the necessity for social support and rehabilitation services. In the light of the data obtained, the factors affecting relapses in patients with ASUD can be determined and appropriate interventions and therapeutic approaches can be used to prevent relapses.

“…Studies have explored personality profiles of patients with AUD in comparison with the general population, opioid dependence syndrome, and HIV. [ 151 152 153 154 ] Diagnostic interview studies have reported lower prevalence (3–6%)[ 105 144 ] than studies using specific personality tools (40% to 56%). Among the personality disorders in AUD male patients, the most commonly reported include antisocial (15–26%), paranoid (9%), and avoidant personality disorders (7–13%), with borderline and dependent personality reported as the lowest.…”

Background: Despite alcohol use being a risk factor for numerous health-related conditions and alcohol use disorder (AUD) recognized as a disease, there was limited research in India until 2010. This narrative review aims to evaluate AUD-related research in India from 2010 to July 2023. Methods: A PubMed search used key terms for AUD in India after 2010. Indian and international journals with regional significance that publish alcohol-related research were searched by each author individually. These were then collated, and duplicates were removed. In addition, we also conducted a gray literature search on focused areas related to AUD. Results: The alcohol-related research in India after 2010 focused on diverse areas associated with alcohol use. Some areas of research have received more attention than others. Two major epidemiological surveys conducted in the past decade reveal that around 5% have a problematic alcohol use pattern. Factors associated with alcohol use, like genetic, neurobiological, psychological, and sociocultural, were studied. The studies focused on the clinical profile of AUD, including their correlates, such as craving, withdrawal, alcohol-related harm, and comorbid psychiatric and medical illnesses. During this period, minimal research was conducted to understand AUD’s laboratory biomarkers, course, and prognosis. While there was a focus on generating evidence for different psychological interventions for alcohol dependence in management-related research, pharmacological studies centered on anticraving agents like baclofen. Research on noninvasive brain stimulation, such as rTMS, has shown preliminary usefulness in treating alcohol dependence. Very little research has been conducted regarding alcohol policy. Conclusion: In the past decade, Indian research on alcohol has focused on diverse areas. Epidemiological and psychological management-related research received maximum attention. Considering the magnitude of the alcohol-related burden, it is essential to prioritize research to other less studied areas like pharmacological management of alcohol dependence and alcohol policy.

Aims This study aimed to explore the profiles and impact of affective temperaments, together with social and clinical backgrounds, including affective symptoms, in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Methods This study included 314 low-risk drinkers and 257 patients with AUD. To assess affective temperament, we used the short version of the temperament evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego. To evaluate depressive and mixed symptoms, the quick inventory of depressive symptomatology self-report Japanese version and 12-item questionnaire for the quantitative assessment of the depressive mixed state were used. We compared the profiles of affective temperaments as well as social and clinical backgrounds, including affective symptoms, between the two groups and further performed logistic regression analyses to explore the factors contributing to AUD. Results Our analysis showed higher cyclothymic, hyperthymic, and irritable temperament scores and lower depressive temperament scores in patients with AUD than that in nonclinical drinkers. Regarding other social and clinical backgrounds, patients with AUD were less educated and employed and more experienced depressive and mixed symptoms. Logistic regression analysis identified hyperthymic temperament as a positive contributor and depressive temperament as a negative contributor to AUD. Conclusions Our findings indicated potential bipolarity in patients with AUD, as manifested by a more hyperthymic temperament in contrast to less depressive temperament. Despite their self-perceived adaptive temperament profiles, patients showed poorer social outcomes and more affective symptoms. This gap may be partly explained by a lack of insight unique to AUD psychology, which potentially disturbs problem recognition.
