“…One important factor may be early life experience in that childhood abuse increases the incidence of both addiction (Harrison, Fulkerson, & Beebe, 1997) and impulsivity (Brodsky et al, 2001). Moreover, early parental neglect in monkeys is associated with decreased 5-HT levels, increased impulsivity, and excessive alcohol intake (Higley & Linnoila, 1997).…”

Compulsion and impulsivity are both primary features of drug addiction. Based on decades of animal research, we have a detailed understanding of the factors (both environmental and physiological) that influence compulsive drug use, but still know relatively little about the impulsive aspects of drug addiction. This review outlines our current knowledge of the relationship between impulsivity and drug addiction, focusing on cognitive and motor impulsivity, which are particularly relevant to this disorder. Topics to be discussed include the influence of chronic drug administration on impulsivity, the mechanisms that may explain drug-induced impulsivity, and the role of individual differences in the development of impulsive drug use. In addition, the manner in which contemporary theories of drug addiction conceptualize the relationship between impulsivity and compulsion is examined. Most importantly, this review emphasizes a critical role for animal research in understanding the role of impulsivity in the development and maintenance of drug addiction.

“…A notable body of research has found evidence of a direct impulsivity-suicide attempt link (e.g., Brodsky et al, 2001;Doihara et al, 2012), while other studies have found no such evidence (e.g., Carli et al, 2010;Grunebaum et al, 2005;Oquendo et al, 2000). Most recently, a meta-analysis (Anestis et al, 2014) comparing individuals with and without histories of suicide attempts indicated that the relationship between impulsivity and suicide attempt history was small (Hedges g =.34).…”

“…Most recently, a meta-analysis (Anestis et al, 2014) comparing individuals with and without histories of suicide attempts indicated that the relationship between impulsivity and suicide attempt history was small (Hedges g =.34). Findings on impulsivity among individuals with multiple versus single attempts is also mixed with some evidence for higher impulsivity among those with multiple attempts (e.g., Bulik et al, 2008;Dougherty et al, 2004a;Maloney et al, 2009), and other research finding no impulsivity differences between these groups (e.g., Brodsky et al, 2001;Iancu et al, 2010). Given that impulsivity is an important construct and a modifiable risk indicator in many evidence-based suicide prevention treatments, additional research is needed to determine how multiple dimensions of impulsivity may be associated with suicidal behaviors.…”

A B S T R A C TA history of multiple suicide attempts conveys greater risk for suicide than a single attempt. Impulsivity may partially explain the association between multiple attempts and increased risk. We examined trait impulsivity, ability to engage in goal-directed behaviors, and impulse control among psychiatrically hospitalized United States military personnel and their dependents. Individuals with a history of multiple versus single attempts had significantly higher motor impulsivity, indicating spur of the moment action. Providers are encouraged to directly assess and treat motor impulsivity among suicidal individuals. Further research should explore whether motor impulsivity is a mechanism of change in psychosocial suicide prevention interventions.

“…Certain negative life events especially physical/mental abuse in childhood turned out to be the main indicators of addiction and self-destructive behavior [10]. Adverse experiences in childhood leads to different and serious problems in the future such as post-traumatic stress disorder [11,12], depression, alcohol and substance use disorders [11,[13][14][15][16], anxiety and personality disorders [16][17][18] which are the most common ones [17,19,20].…”

SUMMARYThe objective of this study is to determine prevalence of alcohol-substance use among university students, and to investigate the correlation between the childhood abuse, suicide probability and anger expression styles in students who have drinking problems. A survey was carried out among randomly selected students from the Faculty of Education in Baskent University in Turkey. Study sample consists of 399 university students. Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Trait Anger and Anger Expressions Scales (T-Anger-Anger EX), and Suicide Probability Scale (SPS) were used. The CAGE questionnaire was applied to identify the problems of alcohol use. Probable presence of an alcohol use disorder is indicated by a score of 1+, whereas a score of 2+ was taken as the cut-off point for assessing presence of clinically signifi cant alcohol use problems. Data were analyzed using with t test and multiple binary logistic regression. Of the whole sample 36.9% reported that they had ever tried drinking alcohol. The overall prevalence of alcohol use problems according to CAGE 1+ was 14.4% and CAGE 2+ was 7.3%. Sexual abuse and Anger-In were predictors of CAGE 1+, suicide probability was predictor of CAGE2+. Childhood trauma experiences especially, sexual abuse, suicide probability, trait anger, the anger expressed inside and outside were main factors to identify alcohol use problems. Professionals and parents must pay attention to childhood traumatic experiences, suicide and anger expression styles in youths with alcohol use problems.
