  • Is Your Depressed Patient Bipolar?

Kaye, MD, DFAPA Accurate diagnosis of mood disorders is critical for treatment to be effective. Distinguishing between major depression and bipolar disorders, especially the depressed phase of a bipolar disorder, is essen- tial, because they differ substantially in their genetics, clinical course, outcomes, prognosis, and treat- ment. In current practice, bipolar disorders, especially bipolar II disorder, are underdiagnosed. Misdi- agnosing bipolar disorders deprives patients of timely and potentially lifesaving treatment, particularly considering the development of newer and possibly more effective medications for both depressive fea- tures and the maintenance treatment (prevention of recurrence/relapse). This article focuses specifi- cally on how to recognize the identifying features suggestive of a bipolar disorder in patients who present with depressive symptoms or who have previously been diagnosed with major depression or dysthymia. This task is not especially time-consuming, and the interested primary care or family physi- cian can easily perform this assessment. Tools to assist the physician in daily practice with the evalua- tion and recognition of bipolar disorders and bipolar depression are presented and discussed. (J Am Board Fam Pract 2005;18:271–81.)

  • Types of Bipolar Disorder Toms Are Evident
    MOOD DISORDERS ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUmbIA T Y P E S O F b i p o l a r d i s o r d e r Bipolar disorder is a class of mood disorders that is marked by dramatic changes in mood, energy and behaviour. The key characteristic is that people with bipolar disorder alternate be- tween episodes of mania (extreme elevated mood) and depression (extreme sadness). These episodes can last from hours to months. The mood distur- bances are severe enough to cause marked impairment in the person’s func- tioning. The experience of mania is not pleasant and can be very frightening to The Diagnotistic Statisti- the person.

People with bipolar disorder vary in how often they experience an episode of either mania or depression. Mood changes with bipolar disorder typically occur gradually. For some individuals there may be periods of wellness between the different mood episodes. Some people may also experience multiple episodes within a 12 month period, a week, or even a single day (referred to as “rapid cycling”). The severity of the mood can also range from mild to severe. Establishing the particular type of bipolar disorder can greatly aid in determin- ing the best type of treatment to manage the symptoms.

Psychiatric disorders represent one of the most difficult diagnostic challenges, given their frequent mixed nature and intrinsic variability, as in bipolar disorders and depression. Patients misdiagnosed as depressed are often initially prescribed serotonergic antidepressants, a treatment that can exacerbate a previously unrecognized bipolar condition. Thanks to the use of the patient’s genomic profile, it is possible to recognize such risk and at the same time characterize specific genetic assets specifically associated with bipolar spectrum disorder, as well as with the individual response to the various therapeutic options. This provides the basis for molecular diagnosis and the definition of pharmacogenomic profiles, thus guiding therapeutic choices and allowing a safer and more effective use of psychotropic drugs. Here, we report the pharmacogenomics state of the art in bipolar disorders and suggest an algorithm for therapeutic regimen choice.

  • Vulnerable Narcissism Is (Mostly) a Disorder of Neuroticism
    Journal of Personality 86:2, April 2018 VC 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Vulnerable Narcissism Is (Mostly) a DOI: 10.1111/jopy.12303 Disorder of Neuroticism Joshua D. Miller,1 Donald R. Lynam,2 Colin Vize,2 Michael Crowe,1 Chelsea Sleep,1 Jessica L. Maples-Keller,1 Lauren R. Few,1 and W. Keith Campbell1 1University of Georgia 2Purdue University Abstract Objective: Increasing attention has been paid to the distinction between the dimensions of narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability. We examine the degree to which basic traits underlie vulnerable narcissism, with a particular emphasis on the importance of Neuroticism and Agreeableness. Method: Across four samples (undergraduate, online community, clinical-community), we conduct dominance analyses to partition the variance predicted in vulnerable narcissism by the Five-Factor Model personality domains, as well as compare the empirical profiles generated by vulnerable narcissism and Neuroticism. Results: These analyses demonstrate that the lion’s share of variance is explained by Neuroticism (65%) and Agreeableness (19%). Similarity analyses were also conducted in which the extent to which vulnerable narcissism and Neuroticism share similar empirical networks was tested using an array of criteria, including self-, informant, and thin slice ratings of personality; interview-based ratings of personality disorder and pathological traits; and self-ratings of adverse events and functional out- comes. The empirical correlates of vulnerable narcissism and Neuroticism were nearly identical (MrICC 5 .94). Partial analyses demonstrated that the variance in vulnerable narcissism not shared with Neuroticism is largely specific to disagreeableness- related traits such as distrustfulness and grandiosity. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the parsimony of using basic personality to study personality pathology and have implications for how vulnerable narcissism might be approached clinically.

    Molecular Psychiatry (2014) 19, 209–213 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/14 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Specificity of psychosis, mania and major depression in a contemporary family study CL Vandeleur1, KR Merikangas2, M-PF Strippoli1, E Castelao1 and M Preisig1 There has been increasing attention to the subgroups of mood disorders and their boundaries with other mental disorders, particularly psychoses. The goals of the present paper were (1) to assess the familial aggregation and co-aggregation patterns of the full spectrum of mood disorders (that is, bipolar, schizoaffective (SAF), major depression) based on contemporary diagnostic criteria; and (2) to evaluate the familial specificity of the major subgroups of mood disorders, including psychotic, manic and major depressive episodes (MDEs). The sample included 293 patients with a lifetime diagnosis of SAF disorder, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder (MDD), 110 orthopedic controls, and 1734 adult first-degree relatives. The diagnostic assignment was based on all available information, including direct diagnostic interviews, family history reports and medical records. Our findings revealed specificity of the familial aggregation of psychosis (odds ratio (OR) ¼ 2.9, confidence interval (CI): 1.1–7.7), mania (OR ¼ 6.4, CI: 2.2–18.7) and MDEs (OR ¼ 2.0, CI: 1.5–2.7) but not hypomania (OR ¼ 1.3, CI: 0.5–3.6). There was no evidence for cross-transmission of mania and MDEs (OR ¼ .7, CI:.5–1.1), psychosis and mania (OR ¼ 1.0, CI:.4–2.7) or psychosis and MDEs (OR ¼ 1.0, CI:.7–1.4).

  • Emotional Dysregulation As a Mediator Between Early
    EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN EARLY MALADAPTIVE SCHEMAS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY Elena Belmonte Padilla, Lucía Pérez Golarons, Marta Doñate Font Institut de Neuropsiquiatria i Addiccions, Parc Salut Mar, Barcelona Introduction Emotional regulation (ER) refers to an ability to regulate unwanted emotional states. Chronic use of certain emotion regulation strategies is associated with specific psychological outcomes, such as depression and anxiety symptoms. Several studies indicate that ER is a mediator between insecure attachment and depression or/and anxiety. In schema therapy, early maladaptive schemas (EMS) are thought to result from interaction between genetics and temperament, and childhood environment, in particular the childs interactions with their caregivers. Some researchers suggest that attachment style may function as a conceptual bridge, linking early relational experiences with the development of schemas. EMS are associated with either dysregulation emotions or with dysregulatory strategies that produce and maintain the problematic emotional response. The main aim of this study is to explore the relationship between ER, EMS and anxious-depressive symptomatology. Method Participants Measures The study sample consisted of 14 participant recruited from Clinical evaluation was carried out by The Beck Depression Centre de Salut Mental Sant Martí Sud. See table 1.
