Abstract

Background: Prodromal symptoms prior to first episode mania/hypomania have been reported. However, the relationship between temperament and manic/hypomanic prodromal symptoms has not been investigated. We hypothesized that subjects scoring higher on cyclothymic and irritable temperament scales show more manic/hypomanic prodromal symptoms. Method: Euthymic patients diagnosed with bipolar-I or -ll disorder within 8 years underwent retrospective assessments with the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diegoautoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) and the Bipolar Prod rome Symptom Scale-Retrospective (BPSS-R). Results: Among 39 subjects (36.1 +/- 9.9 years, females=59%, bipolar-I-62%) 100% and 92.3% reported subthreshold mania (mean-7.4 +/- 2.9) or subthreshold depressive symptoms (mean-2 +/- 1.5), and 87.2% and 43.6% reported general psychopathology (mean-3.2 +/- 2.0) or subthreshold psychotic symptoms (mean-0.7 +/- 1.0) prior to their first hypo-/manic episode. Subjects with higher cyclothymic and irritable temperament scores showed more subthreshold symptoms prior to the first manic/ hypomanic episode, mainly subthreshold hypo-/manic symptoms (cyclothymic temperament r=0.430; p=0.006; irritable temperament r=0.330; p =0.040), general psychopathology symptoms (cyclothymic temperament r=0.316; p=0.05; irritable temperament r=0.349; p=0.029) and subthreshold psychotic symptoms (cyclothymic temperament r=0.413; p=0.009). In regression analyses, cyclothymic temperament explained 16.1% and 12.5% of the variance of the BPSS-R total score (p=0.045) and psychosis subscore (p =0.029). Limitations: Retrospective study, no control group, small sample size. Conclusion: We present data, which indicate a relationship between cyclothymic and irritable temperament and proclromal symptoms prior to the first manic/hypomanic episode. These findings support the notion that assessing cyclothymic temperament to identify people at-risk of developing bipolar-I and -ll disorder may help to increase the predictive validity of applied at-risk criteria.
