Clinical features associated with trait-impulsiveness in euthymic bipolar disorder patients.

International audienceBACKGROUND: A strong association has been reported between trait-impulsiveness and bipolar disorder (BD). Much attention has been focused on this association, but subgroup analysis has generated conflicting results, raising questions about the role of trait-impulsiveness in suicidal behavior and substance misuse in bipolar patients. METHOD: We compared Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-10 scores between 385 euthymic bipolar patients and 185 healthy controls. We then investigated possible association between impulsiveness scores and the following clinical characteristics: suicide attempt (SA), lifetime alcohol/cannabis misuse, rapid cycling and mixed episodes. RESULTS: Bipolar patients and healthy controls had significantly different BIS-10 total score and subscores (motor, attentional and nonplanning impulsiveness) (all p values <0.0001). No association was observed between BIS-10 total score, personal history of SA, number of SA, age at first SA and history of violent SA. Higher BIS-10 total scores were associated with alcohol misuse (p=0.005), cannabis misuse (p<0.0001), with an additive effect for these two substances (p=0.005). Higher BIS-10 total scores were also associated with rapid cycling (p=0.006) and history of mixed episodes (p=0.002), with an additive effect of these two variables (p=0.0006). LIMITATIONS: We used only one clinical measurement of impulsiveness and did not carry out cognitive assessment. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that trait-impulsiveness may be considered as a dimensional feature associated with BD and with a more severe clinical expression of the disease, characterized by a history of substance misuse, rapid cycling and mixed episodes. We found no association between impulsiveness and SA characteristics in bipolar patients, confirming some previous negative results

Affect intensity measure in bipolar disorders: A multidimensional approach

International audienceBackground: Emotional dysregulation, characterized by high levels of both arousal and intensity of emotional responses, is a core feature of bipolar disorders (BDs). In non-clinical populations, the 40-item Affect Intensity Measure (AIM) can be used to assess the different dimensions of emotional reactivity.Methods: We analyzed the factor structure of the AIM in a sample of 310 euthymic patients with BD using Principal Component Analysis and examined associations between AIM sub-scale scores and demographic and illness characteristics.Results: The French translation of the AIM demonstrated good reliability. A four-factor solution similar to that reported in non-clinical samples (Positive Affectivity, Unpeacefulness [lack of Serenity], Negative Reactivity, Negative Intensity), explained 47% of the total variance. Age and gender were associated with Unpeacefulness and Negative reactivity respectively. 'Unpeacefulness' was also positively associated with psychotic symptoms at onset (p=0.0006), but negatively associated with co-morbid substance misuse (p=0.008). Negative Intensity was positively associated with social phobia (p=0.0005).Limitations: We cannot definitively exclude a lack of statistical power to classify all AIM items. Euthymia was carefully defined, but a degree of 'contamination' of the self-reported levels of emotion reactivity may occur because of subsyndromal BD symptoms. It was not feasible to control for the possible impact of on-going treatments.Conclusions: The AIM scale appears to be a useful measure of emotional reactivity and intensity in a clinical sample of patients with BD, suggesting it can be used in addition to other markers of BD characteristics and sub-types
