“…Depressive, cyclothymic, irritable, and anxious temperaments of the TEMPS-A have been found to be positively associated with 12-month prevalence of various DSM-IV diagnoses including mood disorders, while the hyperthymic temperament is negatively associated (Karam et al, 2010). Many studies have found that bipolar patients are more likely to be evening-type than the normal population (Wood et al, 2009).…”

“…Moreover, after adjusting for socio-demographics and co-morbidities, major depressive disorder, any impulse-control disorder, substance use/dependence, and social phobia were the mental disorders that predicted suicide attempts. We had also shown previously that temperaments were solidly associated with mental disorders: briefly, anxious temperament was the most prominent risk factor to mood, anxiety and any mental disorders; irritable temperament was a risk to mood disorders and hyperthymic temperament was protective of mood and any mental disorder (Karam et al, 2010).…”

“…A total of 2857 respondents (70.0% response) were administered, in their own homes, the CIDI 3.0 and a sub sample of 1320 respondents (47% of the total sample, randomly selected) were requested to fill the TEMPS-A (referred to below as temperament population). More details about the study are found elsewhere (Karam et al, 2010).…”

“…The anxious temperament has been shown to be a strong and general predictor of several mental illnesses especially within the anxiety and depressive clusters. On the contrary, the hyperthymic temperament has been shown to have a uniquely protective effect against the majority of psychiatric disorders (with few exceptions including bipolar disorder) 109,110 . The dysthymic, cyclothymic and anxious temperaments are related to hopelessness and the irritable temperament to suicidality 110 .…”

Bipolar disorder constitutes a challenge for clinicians in everyday clinical practice. Our knowledge concerning this clinical entity is incomplete and contemporary classification systems are unable to reflect the complexity of this disorder.. The concept of temperament which for the first time was described during antiquity constitutes a reasonable vehicle to synthesize our knowledge on how the human body works and what determines human behavior. Although it originally included philosophical and sociocultural approaches, today the biomedical model is dominant. It is possible that specific temperaments might constitute vulnerability factors, determine the clinical picture or constitute illness course modifiers and even act as a bridge between genes and clinical manifestations, thus giving birth to the concept of the bipolar spectrum with major implications for all aspects of mental health research and providing of care. More specifically it has been reported that the hyperthymic and the depressive temperaments are related to the more 'classic' bipolar disorder, while cyclothymic, anxious and irritable temperaments are related to more complex manifestations and might predict poor response to treatment, violent or suicidal behavior and high comorbidity. It seems reasonable to assume that the incorporating of the concept of temperament and the bipolar spectrum in the standard training of psychiatric residents might result in an improvement of everyday clinical practice.3
