Abstract
Purpose of review: The relationship between depression and personality has long been a topic of interest in the fields of psychiatry and psychology, but consensus remains elusive. This lack of consensus poses a significant challenge in both diagnosis and treatment, especially in situations when otherwise effective therapies for depression fail. Our article aims to address this issue by reviewing the historical and recent conceptualizations of the relationship between depression and personality pathology. Specifically, we focus on the trait domain of negative affectivity found in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition (ICD-11) and the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) as a connecting link between the two phenomena.
Recent findings: We review recent empirical studies evaluating the association of negative affectivity, personality, and depression, along with investigations of the relationship between depressive disorders and personality disorders. Additionally, we describe the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) and the AMPD as organizing frameworks for understanding depression within a broader personality framework. Based on the available evidence, we propose that depressive disorders must be assessed within the context of the patient's personality in order to maximize treatment outcomes. Ultimately, this integrated approach can guide clinicians in developing unified treatment protocols and facilitate early detection and intervention for factors contributing to depression in order to minimize treatment resistance.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
