“…These traits might reflect a vulnerability to various psychoactive substances . Besides, during high mood in bipolar patients, individuals with irritable and hyperthymic temperament may choose to use the substance to reduce the negative impact of their symptoms . A study done by Pompili et al among mood disorders patients found that hyperthymia/hopelessness were independent predictors of the illness after 14 months of follow up.…”

“…People with irritable temperament showed that they have a high risk of suicidality and increasing the relapse rate. One reason for the correlation between suicidality, increased relapse rate and the irritable temperaments could be due to the impulsivity trait that characterizes the irritable temperaments . Furthermore, the depressive, irritable, and anxious temperaments are significantly associated with the “s” allele of the serotonin transporter gene that in turn, is significantly overrepresented among suicide attempters thus, affecting suicidal behavior …”

Purpose To examine these temperaments among patients with substance use disorder (SUD) in the Lebanese population. Design Case‐control. Methods Fifty‐seven controls and 57 patients with SUD were enrolled between April and September 2017. Results A significantly higher mean of depressive, irritable, and anxious temperaments was found in addicted patients as compared with the nonaddicts. However, the results of the multivariate analysis showed that anxious, hyperthymic, irritable temperaments would significantly increase the odds of addiction in participants (ORa = 25.20, 1.057, 1.168, 1.241, and 1.275). Cyclothymic temperament would significantly decrease the odds of addiction in participants (ORa = 0.817). Furthermore, suicidality was associated with depressive, anxious, and irritable temperaments. Practice Implications Hyperthymic, irritable, and anxious temperaments were the main temperaments found in patients with SUD in Lebanon.

“…Previous studies have reported that hyperthymic people are predisposed to alcohol misuse [47, 48]. It may be that characteristics of people with hyperthymic tendencies, such as cheerfulness, exuberance, intrusiveness, lack of inhibitions, overconfidence, grandiosity, and high energy levels mean they more often experience states of boredom and curiosity, which they attempt to resolve with AC.…”

BackgroundAlcohol consumption (AC) has negative social and economic consequences, affects health, and can create dependence. As dependence is particularly difficult to cure, prevention is important. This study aimed to identify the frequency, quantity, occasions, reasons, type of AC, and correlation with accentuated personality traits among young adults in Romania.MethodsParticipants were 1359 young adults aged 18–30 years (average age, 22.67 years; standard deviation [SD], 3.02 years) from urban environments including the main university centers. Several questionnaires covering issues such as health risk behavior (smoking, alcohol abuse, unprotected sex, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating), aggression, personality, adaptability, cohesion, and communication were administered to participants between 2013 and 2014. Pearson’s chi-square tests and z-tests were used for the analyses.ResultsCommon reasons young adults first tried AC were curiosity (67.8 %), to be like peers (17.9 %), and adult influence (6.5 %). In terms of AC frequency, 72.5 % consumed alcohol only on special occasions/holidays, 19.4 % on weekends, 4.8 % three to four times per week, and 0.4 % on a daily basis. To overcome sexual/emotional inhibitions or for courage, 2.1 % of participants drank frequently and 23.5 % drank from time to time. AC most often occurred with a group of friends (62.3 %). For 9.7 % of participants, AC was a reason for poor concentration, or problems at work/school. At the time of interview, participants had consumed an average of 319.48 ml beer (SD, 1223.02 ml), 82.75 ml wine (SD, 385.39 ml) and 25.62 ml spirits (SD, 131.34 ml) in the previous week. AC was significantly higher in males (p < 0.01), and in participants aged 23–30 years (p < 0.05). AC was influenced by six accentuated personality traits: Demonstrativeness, Hyper-perseverance, Uncontrollability, Hyperthymia, Cyclothymia, and Exaltation (p < 0.01).ConclusionsAC was relatively high, especially among young men, peer groups, and young adults who had problems socializing. AC also correlated with some accentuated personality traits. Therefore, public health education programs should be targeted for these categories.

“…Another hypothesis is that there are shared genetic or other vulnerability factors such as a sensitive behavioral activation system, specifically increased impulsivity and fun-seeking (Alloy et al, 2009;Duffy et al, 2010). In clinical settings, people with mood spectrum disorders may consume alcohol as a method to self-medicate and deal with mood swings which may or may have not reached yet the level of clinical relevance (Khantizan, 1985;McDonald and Meyer, 2011), and Singh et al (2015) raised the possibility that underlying temperaments and their associated behaviors might increase the risk for misuse.…”

High rates of alcohol use disorder (AUD) are reported in people with major depression (MD) and bipolar disorder (BD). Substance abuse problems in adolescence may also indicate risk for future onset of mood disorders, especially BD. Data collected from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a large UK birth cohort, allowed information to be collected over several different time points and to test whether problematic alcohol use at age 16 was predictive of vulnerability to hypomanic symptoms at age 23. Controlling for a participant's gender, SES, marital status of the mother, a likely history of maternal depression, and adolescents' level of depressive symptoms at age 16, a hierarchical linear regression revealed that self-reported alcohol use in adolescence predicted the future onset of hypomanic/manic symptoms. Limitations include attrition and relying solely on self-ratings. Despite these limitations, the results suggest problematic alcohol use in adolescence predicts a vulnerability to hypomanic or manic symptoms.
