This study compared the psychological test performance of patients with major depression (MD) (n = 23), patients with panic disorder (PD) (n = 20), and normal subjects (n = 24). Results indicated that scores of normal subjects were significantly less pathological than those of both patient groups on almost all psychological test scales, but that the test performance of the two patient groups did not differ. The only difference between the two patient groups was on the level of self-reported and observer-rated depression. Both patient groups exhibited significant personality pathology, and the rate of personality disorders diagnosed by the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) (base rate greater than 84) was 73% for PD patients and 86% for MD patients. The problems of assessing personality during episodes of MD and PD and the possible overdiagnosis of personality disorders by the MCMI are discussed. 相似文献

Caffeine increases anxiety in people with anxiety disorders. To determine whether caffeine exerts a similar effect in depression, the authors compared retrospective reports of caffeine intake and symptoms produced by caffeine ingestion in patients with panic disorder, patients with major depression, and control subjects. Panic patients consumed less caffeine and reported more symptoms than depressed or control subjects. Although depressed patients did not differ from control subjects in caffeine intake or most symptoms, more depressed patients reported that caffeine induced anxiety. These data support prior reports that panic patients have increased sensitivity to caffeine; some depressed patients may also have increased sensitivity. 相似文献

Anxiety may be associated with increased norepinephrine activity. Urinary levels of the norepinephrine metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) were examined in depressed patients with and without panic attacks. Depressed patients with panic attacks had significant elevations of MHPG. 相似文献

Personality theorists have long predicted a relationship between personality traits and autonomic activation. In this study, 48 patients with panic disorder underwent personality assessment by questionnaire (Eysenck Personality Inventory: 48 patients) and by interview (Personality Disorders Examination: 35 patients). Ambulatory heart rate and activity were measured by the Vitalog method and were used as measures of activation and autonomic arousal. There was a significant positive correlation between histrionic traits and activity level and a significant negative correlation between sociability and heart rate. The findings are consistent with previous studies showing a negative relationship between sensation-seeking personality traits and cerebrospinal fluid levels of norepinephrine and a positive relationship between extroversion and cerebrospinal fluid levels of dopamine. 相似文献

Background
Prevalence and clinical correlates of depersonalization symptoms have been associated with panic disorder. Personality traits might increase the likelihood of experiencing depersonalization symptoms or depersonalization disorder in panic patients.Aims
The objectives of this study are to establish the prevalence of depersonalization symptoms during the panic attack and in depersonalization disorder and to examine the personality factors associated with the presence of depersonalization in patients with panic disorder.Methods
The sample comprised 104 consecutive adult outpatients with panic disorder, diagnosed according to the Semistructured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (Axis I/II disorders). Participants were assessed with the Cambridge Depersonalization Scales, the Temperament and Character Inventory, and the Panic and Agoraphobia Scale.Results
Forty-eight percent of the sample had depersonalization symptoms during the panic attack, whereas 20% of patients had a depersonalization disorder. Women presented more depersonalization disorders than did men (P = .036). Patients with panic disorder with depersonalization disorder had a more severe panic disorder (P = .002). Logistic regression analysis showed that self-transcendence trait (odds ratio, 1.089; 95% confidence interval, 1.021-1.162; P = .010) and severity of panic (odds ratio, 1.056; 95% confidence interval, 1.005-1.110; P = .032) were independently associated with depersonalization disorder.Conclusions
A high prevalence of depersonalization symptoms and depersonalization disorder was confirmed in patients with panic disorder, supporting a dosage effect model for understanding depersonalization pathology. Self-transcendence trait and severity of panic disorder were reported as risk factors for depersonalization disorder. 相似文献10.

Twenty-eight patients who participated as a placebo group in a treatment study of panic disorder were studied to determine the effect of personality on study completion and outcome. Those subjects who completed only 3 weeks had significantly more pathological personality traits than those who continued in the study. For those continuing beyond 3 weeks, there were negative correlations between the paranoid and borderline personality traits and a global outcome measure. Spontaneous panic attacks were not affected by personality. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the T allele of G protein beta3 (GNbeta3) is associated with self-mutilation in depressed patients. METHOD: A history of self-mutilation was systematically inquired about when recruiting depressed patients for a long-term treatment trial. Risk factors such as borderline personality disorder and childhood abuse experiences were systematically assessed, and patients were genotyped for polymorphisms of GNbeta3. RESULTS: The T allele of GNbeta3, borderline personality disorder and childhood sexual abuse were all significantly associated with self-mutilation in depressed patients. These associations were significant in both univariate and multivariate analyses, and as predicted were stronger in young depressed patients than in depressed patients of all ages. CONCLUSIONS: If the association between the T allele of GNbeta3 and self-mutilation can be replicated, this may provide clues to understanding the neurobiology of self-mutilation. 相似文献

Persistent social dysfunction in anxious and depressed patients with personality disorder 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term social function of psychiatric patients with anxiety and depressive disorders and to relate this to personality status and other factors. METHOD: A cohort of 210 patients (mean age 35 years) with dysthymic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder diagnosed using a structured interview (SCID) were assessed at baseline for personality status using the Personality Assessment Schedule (PAS) and ratings of anxiety and depression. Exactly 12 years later social function was assessed using the Social Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) and personality reassessed with the PAS by a rater blind to initial personality status. Individual social function items were examined in those with and without personality disorders. RESULTS: Social function was significantly better in those with little or no baseline personality disturbance (P < 0.001) and the domains of close relationships, stress in completing tasks, use of spare time and family relationships showed the largest personality differences. A multiple linear regression model showed that self-rated depression scores, single marital status and personality status were the main baseline variables predicting social function at 12 years. CONCLUSION: Although personality characteristics may change over time social dysfunction persists and persistent social dysfunction in mental state disorders may be a strong indicator of personality disturbance rather than an indicator of treatment resistance. 相似文献

The personality characteristics of 208 depressed patients of both sexes were studied by means of a Swedish personality inventory-the KSP-when the patients had recovered from the depressive syndrome. The patients in the study were divided into unipolars, bipolars, neurotic-reactive and “unspecified”, i.e. those patients who did not meet the criteria for inclusion in any of the aforementioned groups. Female patients scored higher on variables of anxiety and psychasthenia and male patients scored higher on variables indicating distance preference and hostility. Several traits, in particular those reflecting aggression-out and hostility-out, appeared to be negatively correlated with age, whereas inhibition of aggression appeared to be positively related with age. Bipolar patients scored slightly differently from unipolars in many variables but none of the differences was significant. Neurotic-reactive patients distinguished themselves from the other in variables of aggressionout. Several interrelations between different personality characteristics and aspects of aggression have been investigated. Significant correlation could be shown between aspects of aggression and socialization, impulsiveness and aspects of anxiety. A positive correlation was shown between inhibition of aggression and social desirability, and both variables were shown to correlate with age. It is concluded that the difference in inhibition of aggression between “endogenous” and “non-endogenous” patients found in earlier studies might be due to a difference in age, and to the influence of social desirability. 相似文献

Introduction
According to the cognitive model, the common mechanism underlying all psychological disorders is distorted or dysfunctional thoughts that affect mood and behaviors. Dysfunctional thoughts predispose an individual to depression and are among the processes that form the basis of personality traits. Elucidating the personality beliefs associated with depression and dysfunctional thoughts is important to understanding and treating depression. The aim of the present study is to determine whether depressed patients exhibited pathological personality beliefs compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, we investigated which personality beliefs were more common among such depressed patients.Methods
A total of 70 patients who were admitted to the Department of Psychiatry at Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital (Ankara, Turkey) and diagnosed with major depressive disorder according to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria were included in the study. Additionally, 70 healthy controls matched for age, marital status, and education were included in the study. The Sociodemographic Data Form and Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short form (PBQ-SF) were administered to the participants.Results
A comparison of the depression group with the healthy controls revealed higher scores in dependent, passive–aggressive, obsessive–compulsive, antisocial, histrionic, paranoid, borderline, and avoidant personality subscales in the depressive group.Conclusions
These results suggest that personality beliefs at the pathological level are more common in depressive patients and that the detection of these beliefs would be useful for predicting the prognosis of the disease and determining appropriate treatment methods. 相似文献16.

Levels of the activity of enzyme systems involved in the synthesis and metabolism of biogenic amines have been linked in several reports in the literature with various psychopathological conditions and with variations in personality characteristics. In particular, significant negative correlations have been reported between levels of MAO-activity and sensation seeking. In the present study levels of MA0 and DBH-activity were investigated in a series of 30 depressed patients, admitted consecutively, who completed a new personality inventory, the KSP, assumed to measure relatively stable personality traits. Our findings appeared to be consistent with those of earlier authors in that the most pronounced significant (negative) correlation occurred between MAO-activity levels and the monotony avoidance subscale of the KSP. This particular subscale is aimed precisely at measuring thrill-seeking and bears a close relation to the Sensation Seeking Scale used by other authors. In addition a weak positive correlation was found between the same subscale and levels of DBH-activity. Finally a weak negative correlation emerged between levels of MAO and the Guilt subscale of the KSP. 相似文献

Twenty-five inpatients with DSM-III major depressive disorder received ECT and were interviewed with the Structured Interview for DSM-III Personality Disorders. Patients with and patients without a personality disorder had similar short-term responses to ECT. The results of a 6-month prospective follow-up showed that depressed patients with a personality disorder were significantly more symptomatic and eight times more likely to be rehospitalized. 相似文献

There is considerable disagreement about the relationship between borderline personality disorder and the affective disorders. The authors report the results of a study of the relationship between dexamethasone suppression and depressive subtype in hospitalized depressed borderline patients. Twenty-three patients met research criteria for unipolar major depressive episode without psychosis of at least moderate severity. Thirteen patients also met criteria for borderline personality disorder. Dexamethasone suppression test (DST) results showed no significant correlation with either melancholia or borderline personality disorder alone. However, of the 13 borderlines, eight failed to suppress and six of those eight were not melancholic. The authors conclude that abnormal response to dexamethasone in nonmelancholic borderlines casts some doubt on the specificity of the DST for melancholia. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: In earlier reports, we found that perfectionism might be involved in the development and/or maintenance of agoraphobia in panic disorder. The present report extends this work by examining the relationship between perfectionism and comorbidity with personality disorders in panic disorder patients with agoraphobia (PDA) and those without agoraphobia (PD). METHOD: We examined comorbidity of personality disorders by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Personality Disorders (SCID-II) and assessed perfectionism using multidimensional perfectionism scale in 56 PDA and 42 PD patients. RESULTS: The PDA group met criteria for at least one personality disorder significantly more often than the PD group. With stepwise regression analyses, avoidant and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders emerged as significant indicators of perfectionism in patients with panic disorder. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that perfectionism in panic disorder patients may be more common in those with comorbid personality disorders, and may be an important target for preventive and therapeutic efforts. 相似文献

Forty-seven nonmelancholic depressed outpatients were infused with sodium lactate to explore the relationship between history of panic attacks and lactate-induced panic. Lactate panic was rated without knowledge of history of panic. Fifteen of 29 patients (52%) with a history of spontaneous panic experienced panic attacks in response to lactate. Only 1 of 18 patients (6%) without a history of spontaneous panic experienced a lactate-induced panic attack--a highly significant difference. The likelihood of lactate panic was related to frequency of spontaneous panic attacks. The implications of these findings for understanding the relationship of panic attacks and depression are discussed. 相似文献
