Posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use disorder in adolescent bipolar disorder

Objective: Anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) are increasingly recognized as comorbid disorders in children with bipolar disorder (BPD). This study explores the relationship between BPD, PTSD, and SUD in a cohort of BPD and non‐BPD adolescents. Methods: We studied 105 adolescents with BPD and 98 non‐mood‐disordered adolescent controls. Psychiatric assessments were made using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia–Epidemiologic Version (KSADS‐E), or Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV (SCID) if 18 years or older. SUD was assessed by KSADS Substance Use module for subjects under 18 years, or SCID module for SUD if age 18 or older. Results: Nine (8%) BPD subjects endorsed PTSD and nine (8%) BPD subjects endorsed subthreshold PTSD compared to one (1%) control subject endorsing full PTSD and two (2%) controls endorsing subthreshold PTSD. Within BPD subjects endorsing PTSD, seven (39%) met criteria for SUD. Significantly more SUD was reported with full PTSD than with subthreshold PTSD (χ² = 5.58, p = 0.02) or no PTSD (χ² = 6.45, p = 0.01). Within SUD, the order of onset was BPD, PTSD, and SUD in three cases, while in two cases the order was PTSD, BPD, SUD. The remaining two cases experienced coincident onset of BPD and SUD, which then led to trauma, after which they developed PTSD and worsening SUD. Conclusion: An increased rate of PTSD was found in adolescents with BPD. Subjects with both PTSD and BPD developed significantly more subsequent SUD, with BPD, PTSD, then SUD being the most common order of onset. Follow‐up studies need to be conducted to elucidate the course and causal relationship of BPD, PTSD and SUD.

Regardless of the interrelationship of the two conditions, the comorbid occurrence of these two types of symptoms can cause a clinical dilemma because selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)-which are quite commonly used to treat OCD-increases the risk of precipitating manic symptoms.[3,4,5,6] The OCD symptoms that occur in individuals with BD often occur during the depressive episodes or during the intervals between episodes of depressive or manic symptoms.[7,8] This timing of OCD symptoms during BD is consistent with the cyclic nature of BD and suggests shared biological mechanisms between the two disorders. In support of this hypothesis, a study using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) found that in untreated persons with BD the serotonin-transporter binding potential in the insular and dorsal cingulate cortex was higher among BD patients with pathological obsessions and compulsions than among BD patients without such symptoms.[9] Moreover, a linkage study found that compared to OCD patients without comorbid BD, patients with comorbid OCD and BD were more likely to have a family history of mood disorders but less likely to have a family history of OCD.[10] However, another study found no significant difference in the rates of a positive family history of OCD between patients with OCD alone and those with comorbid OCD and BD.[11] Further support for the hypothesized common etiology comes from a preliminary molecular genetic study which found that hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 (HCN4) is a common susceptible locus for both mood disorders and OCD, but further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to replicate this finding.[12] The presence of OCD in BD complicates the clinical presentation. Compared to patients with BD without comorbid OCD, those that have comorbid BD and OCD often have a more severe form of BD, have more prolonged episodes, are less adherent to medication, and are less responsive to medication. Recent studies about comorbid BD and OCD have reported the following: (a) Temporal relationship. Some studies suggest that OCD is an antecedent of BD,[10] but others report concurrent onset of OCD and BD.[13,14] (b) Course of disease. In 44% of patients with comorbid BD and OCD the episodes are cyclic.[15] The course of disease is more chronic among BD patients with OCD compared to those without comorbid OCD.[16,17] OCD is more commonly observed in patients with Type II BD, among whom the prevalence of OCD has been reported to be as high as 75%.[18] (c) Compulsive behaviors. The most commonly reported compulsions among patients with comorbid OCD and BD are compulsive sorting,[14,19,20,21] controlling or checking, [20] repeating behaviors,[13,22] excessive washing,[20] and counting.[19] Obsessive reassurance-seeking is also commonly reported in these patients.[23] In children and adolescents with BD, compulsive hoarding, impulsiveness,[24] and sorting[25] are more common. (d) Substance and alcohol abuse. A study found a higher prevalence of sedative, nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine use among individuals with comorbid OCD and BD compared to those with BD without OCD.[14] Similarly, compared to OCD patients without comorbid mood disorders, those with a comorbid mood disorder were more likely to have a substance abuse diagnosis (OR=3.18, 95%CI=1.81-5.58) or alcohol abuse diagnosis (OR=2.21, 95%CI=1.34-3.65).[11,13,26,27,28] (e) Suicidal behaviors. Compared to BD patients without OCD, a greater proportion of patients with both disorders had a lifetime history of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.[2,11,13,29,30] The clinical management of comorbid OCD and BD requires first focusing on stabilizing the patient’s mood, which requires the combined use of multiple medications such as the use of lithium with anticonvulsants or atypical antipsychotic medications such as quetiapine;[31,32,33] adjunctive treatment with aripiprazole may be effective for the comorbid OCD symptoms.[4] In the case of OCD comorbid with type II BD, after full treatment of the mood symptoms with mood stabilizers the clinician can, while monitoring for potential drug interactions, cautiously try adjunctive treatment with antidepressants that are effective for both depressive symptoms and OCD symptoms and that have a low risk of inducing a full manic episode, including the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and sertraline.[32,35] In summary, BD comorbid with OCD may be etiologically distinct from either of the disorders. Clinicians should pay attention to its complex clinical manifestations and carefully consider the treatment principles outlined above.     

Substance use disorder and personality disorder

Personality disorders (PDs) and substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently co-occur in both the general population and in clinical settings. Literature is reviewed documenting high comorbidity between these two classes of disorders, possible mechanisms of comorbidity, and the clinical implications of this comorbidity. Special emphasis is given to antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) as these disorders not only co-occur frequently with SUDs in the clinical populations and present clinical challenges, but also because recent research points to etiologic processes that are common to these specific PDs and SUDs. Although most attention on comorbidity between PDs and SUDs has focused on ASPD and BPD, it is also clear that other PDs (in particular, avoidant PD and paranoid PD) are prevalent among those suffering from SUDs.     

Thought disorder in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

OBJECTIVE: This study compared thought disorder and associated cognitive variables in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia. METHOD: Speech samples of 115 ADHD, 88 schizophrenic, and 190 normal children, aged 8 to 15 years, were coded for thought disorder. A structured psychiatric interview, the WISC-R, the Continuous Performance Test, and the Span of Apprehension task were administered to each child. RESULTS: The ADHD and schizophrenic groups had thought disorder compared with the normal children. However, the subjects with ADHD had a narrower range of less severe thought disorder than did the schizophrenic subjects. The younger children with ADHD and schizophrenia had significantly more thought disorder than did the older children with these diagnoses. IQ, attention, and working memory were associated with thought disorder in the ADHD but not the schizophrenic group. CONCLUSIONS: Thought disorder in childhood is not specific to schizophrenia and reflects impaired development of children's communication skills.     

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and comorbid oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder

Comorbid oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) are common in clinically referred children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Early recognition and treatment of co-occurring ADHD and ODD and/or CD is important because comorbidity influences symptom severity, prognosis, and treatment. Research on treatment supports the importance of behavior therapies for ODD and multimodal psychosocial interventions delivered simultaneously and intensively for CD with adjunctive medication for ADHD symptoms. Clinical trials are beginning to show that stimulants and atomoxetine are effective for ADHD and ODD symptoms when the disorders occur together. It is presently unclear if ODD in the absence of ADHD responds to pharmacotherapy. More research is needed examining the effects of commonly prescribed ADHD medications on CD symptoms. Research suggests a high prevalence of lifetime comorbidity with ODD in clinically referred patients with ADHD.     

Posttraumatic stress disorder and bipolar mood disorder

Bipolar disorder (BD) is not only an endogenous condition. Severe negative life events have been shown to influence the development of the first episode and lifetime course of BD. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe and incapacitating mental condition that affect a significant proportion of the general population at some time in their lives. The concomitant presence of BD and PTSD has been shown to be more frequent than previously suggested and psychotic patients with trauma histories have a tendency to present more severe symptoms and are more proned to present substance use disorders. Trauma-related intrusive memories and nightmares of PTSD have been associated with mood changes. Also, kindling and behavioral sensitization have been proposed to explain the etiology and course of both disorders. Pharmacological approaches for this comorbidity are still based on empirical or not controlled approaches. In this article, we critically review the current literature regarding this co morbid condition, and highlight some aspects related to epidemiology, etiology, course and pharmacological treatment of both disorders. Overall, our review emphasizes the importance of systematically evaluate trauma histories in patients with BD.     

Concomitant obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizotypal personality disorder

Despite advances in the management of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, some remain refractory to treatment. The authors retrospectively examined characteristics of 43 treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive patients and found that those with concomitant schizotypal personality disorder had an extremely high rate of treatment failure. Of the 29 treated nonschizotypal patients, 26 (90%) improved at least moderately; only one of 14 (7%) schizotypal patients improved. In addition, the number of schizotypal features in each patient was strongly negatively correlated with treatment outcome.     

Eating disorder symptoms in affective disorder.

Patients with Major Affective Disorder (MAD), Secondary Depression, Panic Disorder, and bulimia with and without MAD, were given the Eating Disorder Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the General Behavior Inventory at presentation. It was found that patients with MAD have a triad of eating disorder symptoms: a disturbance in interoceptive awareness, the sense of ineffectiveness, and a tendency toward bulimia. The data supported the concept that the sense of ineffectiveness is secondary to major depression. A disturbance in interoceptive awareness exists independently in bulimia nervosa and in MAD providing a common diathesis from which bulimia may arise given family and social pressure. Bulimics with MAD do not respond to treatment as readily as those without MAD. It is recomended that these two groups be treated separately.     

Factitious disorder and factitious disorder by proxy

Similar to the adult patient, a child or adolescent may actively feign or produce artificial symptoms (synonymous: Munchausen syndrome). The more frequent case is that the child suffers from being an object of symptom fabrication induced by a close person caring for the child, regularly the mother (Munchausen syndrome by proxy). This review focuses on psychopathological aspects of the clinically more relevant factitious disorder by proxy. Typical behaviour and personality characteristics are presented that can be taken as clinical warning signs. Doctor-mother-interaction is affectively challenging due to conflicting tasks imposed on the physician. Complementary to pediatric exclusion of genuine disease, psychopathological assessment is required to exclude other sources of deviant illness behaviour. Factious disorder shares particular features (active violation of the child, false report of history, aggravated symptom presentation and increased doctor-hopping, difficulties in conforming maternal report in biomedical data) with other psychopathological entities (child abuse, simulation, dissociative disorders, somatoform disorders including hypochondria, variants of maternal overprotection and infantilization, psychosis or delusion in the mother). Criteria for differentiation are presented. Three concepts on the psychopathological etiology of factitious disorder by proxy are relevant: In some cases, it may be conceived as secondary manifestation of a primary psychopathological entity or personality disorder. Learning theory emphasises operant rewards received from vicarious sick role. Attachment theory provides possible explanations concerning the traumatic impact on the child, early sources of psychopathology in the fabricating mother and risks for intergenerational transmission of factitious disorders.     

Obsessive-compulsive disorder with and without bipolar disorder

Aim: Bipolar disorder (BD) is often comorbid with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). In this study, we compared clinical profile and course of subjects with a primary diagnosis of OCD with and without BD. Methods: We compared 34 subjects with primary diagnosis of OCD with BD and 57 subjects with a diagnosis of OCD without BD. Structured interview schedules, clinical rating scales, and information from clinical charts were utilized to assess patients. Results: OCD with BD was characterized by: (i) an episodic course; (ii) a higher number of depressive episodes, greater suicidality and a higher rate of hospitalization; (iii) fewer pathological doubts and more miscellaneous compulsions; and (iv) poorer insight into obsessive–compulsive symptoms. Conclusions: Episodic course appears to be typical of OCD with BD. Bipolarity has a pathoplastic effect on OCD and it is possible that some forms of OCD and BD are pathophysiologically related. Bipolar OCD is associated with a higher rate of depressive episodes, higher suicidality and more frequent hospitalizations, suggesting greater morbidity. Long‐term prospective follow‐up studies and studies addressing pathophysiology and genetic basis are needed to understand the complexity of such comorbidity.     

Correlates of DSM-III personality disorder in obsessive-compulsive disorder

Forty-three patients with primary obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) completed the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ), a self-rating scale designed to assess axis II personality disorders (PD) from DSM-III. Results showed that 53% of the patients received at least one PD diagnosis. The most frequent diagnoses were avoidant (30%), histrionic (26%), dependent (19%), and schizotypal (16%). Consideration of the personality traits irrespective of diagnostic category showed that in addition to avoidant and dependent personality characteristics, the sample had strong passive aggressive and compulsive tendencies and substantial histrionic, paranoid, and schizotypal traits. Patients exhibiting a greater number of personality traits were also significantly more symptomatic. However, anxiety, phobic, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms were not selected as unique predictors of any personality variables in the regression analyses. Rather, the most important correlate of PD in these patients consisted of dysphoric mood as assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and, to a lesser degree, younger age or shorter duration of illness. These findings do not support a specific link between OCD and PD in general and compulsive PD in particular.
