“…Increased impulsivity, which is often a characteristic of cyclothymic temperament, is associated with a worse prognosis of BD [52,53], and with a more severe clinical course of the disease with history of rapid cycling, mixed episodes and substance abuse [54]. Our findings are in line with other studies showing that cyclothymic temperament is associated with a behavioral instability, increased sensitivity to a stressful event and higher levels of impulsivity [22,55,56,57], and a risk factor for suicide attempts [21]. Therefore, identifying those conditions such as cyclothymic temperament, a rapid cycling course or mixed episodes, more related to an impulsive dimension in patients with BD, could help to more easily typify a subpopulation of patients at risk of committing violent suicide attempts.…”

Affective Temperaments and Clinical Course of Bipolar Disorder: An Exploratory Study of Differences among Patients with and without a History of Violent Suicide Attempts

et al. 2019

Background and Objectives: Suicide is the leading cause of death in patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD). In particular, the high mortality rate is due to violent suicide attempts. Several risk factors associated with suicide attempts in patients with BD have been identified. Affective temperaments are associated with suicidal risk, but their predictive role is still understudied. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between affective temperaments and personal history of violent suicide attempts. Materials and Methods: 74 patients with Bipolar Disorder type I (BD-I) or II (BD-II) were included. All patients filled in the short version of Munster Temperament Evaluation of the Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego (short TEMPS-M) and the Temperament and Character Inventory, revised version (TCI-R). The sample was divided into two groups on the basis of a positive history for suicidal attempts and the suicidal group was further divided into two subgroups according to violent suicide attempts. Results: Violent suicide attempts were positively associated with the cyclothymic temperament and inversely to the hyperthymic one. BD-I patients and patients with a clinical history of rapid cycling were significantly more represented in the group of patients with a history of violent suicide attempts. Conclusions: Our study highlights that several clinical and temperamental characteristics are associated with violent suicide attempts, suggesting the importance of affective temperaments in the clinical management of patients with BPI.

“…The higher rates of cyclothymic dominant temperament among patients with BD have been widely shown in several studies [38,57]. There is still an open debate whether cyclothymic temperaments and cyclothymia as a psychiatric disorder have overlapping characteristics.…”

“…The investigated healthy subjects have obtained results similar to those observed in the population of Polish healthy individuals, various dimensions of affective temperament occurring with similar frequency, although the anxious and irritable temperaments are somewhat more pronounced [ 15 ]. This also pertains to the data from other populations (Spanish, Hungarian, Italian), in which similar results were obtained [ 30 – 32 ]. The results may indicate that depressive and anxious temperaments are enduring personality dispositions and are associated with a predisposition to the disease.…”

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, in which psychological factors play an important role. In the studies of common markers of psoriasis and depression, the abnormal function of the stress axis in both diseases is highlighted, whereas interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 are indicated as particularly important. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between the affective temperament traits and the intensity of depressive symptoms in patients with psoriasis in the context of immunoenzymatic markers. Material and methods: The study included 208 subjects. Severity of psoriasis was assessed by PASI. TEMPS-A was applied for the evaluation of affective temperament and BDI was used for the assessment of the intensity of depressive symptoms. The level of cytokines was determined by means of the immunoenzymatic method. Results: Patients presented a specific profile of affective temperament, with higher scores on depressive, anxious and irritable dimensions. The severity of depressive symptoms correlated positively with the severity of psoriasis. A significant correlation was found between IL-6 and the severity of psoriasis in patients with depressive disorders and psoriasis. No similar correlation was found in patients without depressive disorder. Conclusions: Results of the present study show common mechanisms for psoriasis and depression. Specific traits of affective temperament may play an important role in the clinical picture of both diseases. Higher levels of IL-6 in patients with psoriasis predispose to more frequent occurrence of depressive disorders and the depressive dimension of affective temperament.

“…In the case they scores yes or no on 6 to 8 items, “neutral trait resilience” was assumed. Affective temperament was measured through 20 items with a yes/no response, inspired by the TEMPS-A Scale ( Akiskal and Akiskal, 2005 )( Jiménez et al, 2019 ) which is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure temperamental variations in psychiatric patients and healthy volunteers. Its constituent subscales and items were formulated on the basis of the diagnostic criteria for affective temperaments (cyclothymic, dysthymic, irritable, hyperthymic, and anxious).…”
