OBJECTIVE:The authors examined the differences in the networks of self-reported chronic physical illnesses (CPI) in psychiatric patients (PP) and the general population (GEP).BACKGROUND: Converging evidence suggests that PP have a higher prevalence of CPI and multimorbidity than the GEP. However, there is the evidence-based knowledge gap between multimorbidities and different, prevalent, single CPI, and is partially caused by the complexity of the proper analysis.

Background: Although it is difficult to delineate a boundary between temperament/character and mood state, it is important to know which temperament/character may be particularly associated with mood state. In the present study, I investigated the association between temperament and character scores measured by TEMPS-A and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and mood state scores measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). Methods: Using our database, the data of 111 healthy subjects with both TCI, TEMPS-A, HDRS and YMRS scores were secondarily used for the present study. The study population comprised 67 men and 44 women, with a mean age of 26.3 years (range, 20-42 years). The association of temperament scores of the TEMPS-A, TCI, and mood state scores was analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient.
