AI Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and personality traits, particularly focusing on differences between melancholic (MEL) and nonmelancholic (NMEL) forms of MDD.
- Researchers analyzed 106 patients with MDD and 212 healthy controls using personality assessments, including the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and TEMPS-A.
- The findings revealed that depressive temperament scores were notably higher in NMEL patients compared to MEL patients, suggesting this trait can effectively differentiate between the two types of MDD.
Article Abstract
The association between major depressive disorder (MDD) and personality traits has been extensively studied. However, differences in personality traits between patients with melancholic MDD (MEL) and nonmelancholic MDD (NMEL) remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine whether neuroticism, which has been associated with MDD, and the five affective temperament subtypes assessed by the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego-autoquestionnaire version (TEMPS-A) can be used to distinguish MEL and NMEL. A total of 106 patients with MDD (MEL, n = 52; NMEL, n = 54) and 212 age- and sex-matched healthy controls answered the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-revised and the short version of TEMPS-A. In hierarchical logistic regression analysis, only depressive temperament scores were identified as a statistically significant feature distinguishing NMEL from MEL. Depressive temperament scores assessed by the short version of TEMPS-A were found to be significantly higher in NMEL patients than in MEL patients.
