“…Kraepelin [9], based on his clinical observation, described 4 "fundamental states" of manic depressive illness. Akiskal et al [13] developed operational criteria to identify the "fundamental states" of bipolar disorder described by Krapelin [9], which was a self-rating version of the TEMPS (Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego-Autoquestionnaire -TEMPS-A). According to Akiskal et al [14], temperamental dysregulation can precipitate the development of mood disorders.…”

Objectives: A casual relationship between temperament, job stress and depressive symptoms has not been established yet. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between job stress, temperament and depressive symptoms in female nurses at a Japanese general hospital. Material and Methods: A self-report survey was conducted among 706 nurses. We measured job stress, temperament, and depressive symptoms using the Brief-Job Stress Questionnaire, the TEMPS-A and a screening scale of items from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. In order to examine the causal relationship between the measures the stepwise multiple regression and path analyses were used. Results: Depressive symptoms were modestly correlated with job stress (γ = -0.23-0.30). Except for hyperthymic temperament measures, the correlations between depressive symptoms and temperament types were significant and moderate (γ = 0.36-0.50). Overtime, job control as well as depressive and cyclothymic types of temperament were significantly correlated with depressive symptoms (β = 0.15, p < 0.05; β = 0.19, p < 0.01; β = 0.26, p < 0.001; β = 0.32, p < 0.001, respectively). Path-analysis revealed that depressive and cyclothymic types of temperament influenced depressive symptoms both directly (β = 0.67, p < 0.001) and indirectly via job stress (β = 0.35, p < 0.001 from temperament to job stress; β = 0.20, p < 0.05 from job stress to depressive symptoms). Irritable and anxious types of temperament and quantitative job overload did not contribute to the path-analytic model. Conclusions: Health care professionals should consider temperament, especially depressive and cyclothymic types, in order to help employees cope better with job stress factors. We need further research about the effective intervention to help employees better cope with their job stress.

“…Akiskal claims that affective temperaments form the basis of MDs and defines five main affective temperaments (6) in a model aimed at identifying individuals at risk of MDs (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). It has recently been determined that depressive temperament is associated with frequent, recurrent, and severe depression that begins early; hyperthymic temperament is associated with bipolar disorder; and cyclothymic temperament is associated with early onset depression (12,13).…”

“…Although creative individuals have a significant excess of bipolarity, manicdepressive illness is relatively uncommon [31], further confirming that dilute temperamental forms of bipolarity may sub-serve creativity [40]. Certainly, talent is a necessary ingredient but it is likely that creativity in different professional domains is related to optimal mixes of temperamental and cognitive profiles [40][41]. In this regards musically and poetically creative individuals may differ significantly from gifted architects, mathematicians or politicians, but few studies have examined these issues [35].…”

“…However, it is important to understand whether such creativity is only self-perceived or objectively identifiable. Studies looking specifically at creativity in patients with mood disturbances showed that, even using quite a wide definition of creativity, no more than 8% of patients with bipolar or unipolar disorders could be considered creative [40][41], suggesting that creativity and bipolarity are connected in a complex fashion. A cross-sectional study looked at temperament/personality features in patients with mood disorders in euthymic phase, and creative and healthy controls [42].…”

In this paper we review in brief the development of ideas that over time have tried to understand why some individuals are more creative than others, and what may be the neurobiological links underlying artistic creativity. We note associations to another unique human idea, that of genius. In particular we discuss frontal-temporal dementia and bipolar, cyclothymic mood disorder as clinical conditions that are helping to unravel the underlying neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of human creativity.
