Recovered patients with mood disorders show distinct personality traits, including lower emotional strength and higher interpersonal dependency. Cautious interpretation is needed as depression may alter personality even after recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Personality Studies

Context:

  • Mood disorders significantly impact personality assessments, necessitating studies on fully remitted patients.
  • Previous research primarily focused on unipolar depression, yielding consistent findings on personality traits.

Purpose:

  • To review methodological approaches and findings in personality assessment among remitted mood disorder patients.
  • To highlight the influence of depressive states on personality trait evaluation and potential personality changes post-recovery.

Summary:

  • Two main approaches, self-report inventories and diagnostic criteria (DSM III), reveal remitted unipolar patients exhibit less emotional strength, more interpersonal dependency, and introverted tendencies.
  • Dependent personality disorder is most prevalent, followed by avoidant and histrionic types, with other disorders less frequent.

  • Recent findings suggest depression may cause lasting personality changes, urging caution in interpreting premorbid personality assessments.

    • Impact:

    • Emphasizes the importance of studying remitted patients to accurately assess personality in mood disorder research.
    • Underscores the need for longitudinal studies to differentiate between trait vulnerability and depression-induced personality alterations.
    • Identifies common personality profiles in recovered unipolar depression, informing clinical evaluation and treatment strategies.
