“…This result is consistent with previous studies (Cassidy et al, 2001;Waxmonsky et al, 2005;Ostacher et al, 2006;Berk et al, 2008). Bipolar patients who smoke may have more unstable mood cycles, which in turn may require more psychiatric hospitalizations compared to bipolar patients who do not smoke (Law et al, 2009). In this study, there was no difference between nicotine use disorder and non-nicotine use disorder patients in either number of suicide attempts or number of prescribed medications, in contrast to previous research (Ostacher et al, 2006;Baethge, Tondo, Lepri, & Baldessarini, 2009).…”

“…Some studies have found that lifetime smoking is significantly related to an earlier onset of bipolar disorder, poorer functioning, increased lifetime history of suicide attempts, greater symptomatic severity, greater number of hospitalizations, greater comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders, and use of more types of medication (Cassidy, Ahearn, & Carroll, 2001;Waxmonsky et al, 2005;Ostacher et al, 2006;Berk et al, 2008). Smoking in bipolar disorder is also associated with poorer control of mood episodes, contributing to a greater severity of the illness (Law et al, 2009). Singh, Mattoo, Sharan, & Basu (2005) also found that quality of life in terms of physical health, psychological health, and environmental and social relationships was lower in bipolar patients with nicotine use disorder compared to bipolar patients without nicotine use disorder.…”

Objective:The authors sought to determine the prevalence of nicotine use disorder, related demographic characteristic features, and associated correlates of nicotine use disorder among bipolar patients who attended inpatient and outpatient services in a university hospital setting in Malaysia. Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted from March 2009 to September 2010, a total of 121 bipolar patients, whose diagnoses were based on the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (bipolar version 5.0.0), were recruited. Their nicotine use disorders were assessed with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (plus version) and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. The associated correlates of nicotine use disorder were assessed with the Addiction Severity Index-Lite-Clinical Factors version. The number of lifetime hospitalizations and the survival days (defined as the number of days between the last discharge and the most current readmission for all patients who had been readmitted to the hospital) were calculated. Results: The prevalence of nicotine use disorder among bipolar patients was 22.3% (n = 27). Male gender was the only demographic factor that was statistically associated with nicotine use disorder (p < .001). Patients with nicotine use disorder had significantly more psychiatric hospitalizations than those without nicotine use disorder after adjusting for gender, race, employment status, education level and duration of illness (p < .001). Conclusions: The rate of nicotine use disorder among bipolar patients in this study is similar to that of the general population in Malaysia but lower than that of hospitalized bipolar patients in other parts of the world. Male bipolar patients had higher risk of nicotine use disorder, which was also associated with a higher rate of prior psychiatric hospitalizations. Because there is a high prevalence of nicotine use disorder among bipolar patients, as well as potential interactions with the course of the disorder, nicotine use should be addressed in these patients.

“…rapid cycling, symptom severity) in a sample with an early course of bipolar disorder (data collection was conducted at the admission of patients with a first episode of mania) (Heffner et al, 2008). According to scarce data available in the literature, smoking status and cognitive functions are not closely related among bipolar patients (Law et al, 2009). Data are unclear regarding temporal relationships between the initiation of smoking and bipolar disorder.…”

“…For patients with psychotic mood disorders a higher lifetime prevalence of substance abuse disorders is reported [37]. Although a history of alcohol abuse negatively affected executive functions [26,32], no differences in verbal learning or memory performance were detected in bipolar patients with nicotine [38] or alcohol abuses [26]. Whereas amygdala volume was positively associated with verbal memory in patients with bipolar disorder [39 ], illness duration and the number of illness episodes were not confirmed continuously as mediators of cognitive performance [2,9 ,14,17].…”
