“…Another possible limitation was the presence of some Axis-I disorders, in particular attention deficit disorder and substance abuse/dependence. Both diagnoses might have a direct influence on the overt expression of antisocial behavior as attentional deficits and difficulty in decision-taking are related to these diagnoses [45,46].…”

The concept of psychopathy has shifted from people who commit crimes to those with a particular personality and deviant behaviors. Although antisocial personality disorder is associated with psychopathy, it also seems common in individuals with narcissistic personality traits. Psychopathy may be the expression of earlier, persistent patterns of individual characteristics as personality. The psychobiological model of personality can be useful for determining whether the expression of psychopathy differs in accordance with personality dimensions and specific personality disorders. The aim was to compare temperament and character dimensions between individuals with psychopathy with comorbid predominant antisocial or narcissistic personality traits and control subjects and to determine which dimensions distinguish these groups. Control subjects (n = 80) and individuals with psychopathy (n = 80) were assessed using the Psychopathy Checklist-Reviewed, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II disorders and the Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised. Reward dependence and Self-Directedness distinguish psychopathic individuals with predominant narcissistic personality traits whereas Novelty Seeking and Self-Transcendence characterize those with antisocial personality traits. Individuals with antisocial or narcissistic psychopathy could be identified by their temperament and character traits. The expression of psychopathy differed in accordance with biologically based, environmentally shaped personality traits.

“…[18][19][20][21][22] Furthermore, impulsivity has been reported to be strongly correlated with gambling habits. [23][24][25][26][27] Thus, gambling habits may have been identified as a surrogate indicator of impulsivity. In accordance with previous reports, hyperactivity and impulsivity, which are core symptoms of ADHD, were categorized together in this study.…”

Aim: Atomoxetine (ATX) is a non-central stimulant and a standard treatment for adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The long-term efficacy of Atomoxetine is about 40% at 6 months. The variability in efficacy between individuals is thought to be related to patient-specific factors, but no detailed research has been conducted. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to identify the factors associated with Atomoxetine efficacy.Methods: A total of 147 patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder aged ≥18 years who were using Atomoxetine for the first time were included in this study.The outcome was treatment success (treatment maintained for at least 6 months and improvement in symptoms). Symptom assessment was based on the overall improvement in symptoms judged by an expert physician.Results: Of the patient sample, 103 (70.1%) achieved the outcome. Logistic regression analysis identified "the maximum dose of ATX" and "gambling habit" as factors associated with efficacy ( P < 0.05). In the process of Atomoxetine titration, the larger the maximum dose, the higher the efficacy was shown to be. Gambling habits may be indicative of impulsivity, which is among the core symptoms of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. Thus, a gambling habit may be considered a surrogate marker for impulsivity.Conclusions: Knowledge of these factors will help healthcare professionals to predict the likely efficacy of Atomoxetine in a given patient before subscribing it, facilitating individualized pharmacotherapy for adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
