IntroductionIt is well known that certain personality traits are more linked to drug abuse than others. Psychiatrists are more likely to emphasize the importance of impulsivity in the connection with substance disorders but in the following study we found an important percentage of patients that have a substance abuse were linked to anxiety through impulsiveness as a personality trait.ObjectivesMost youths admitted for a substance abuse are highly impulsive. Our quest was to differentiate what component of impulsivity was more frequently linked to a substance use disorder.MethodsIn the study were included 50 patients admitted in the 3rd Psychiatric Clinic, Substance Dependences Department, Cluj-Napoca. For the identification of the drug abused we used the multitest screening kit in correlation with the results from the Forensic Medicine Institute of Cluj-Napoca. Each patient completed the Barratt Impulsivity Scale and the Swedish Universities Scales of Personality.ResultsHigh scores on BIS-11 strongly correlated with attentional impulsiveness (Pearson's r correlation = .838) which means high inattention and cognitive instability this being linked with anxiety disorders. Cognitive Instability was correlated with Psychic Trait Anxiety (r = 0.29) and Motor Impulsiveness with Somatic Trait Anxiety (r = 0.3).

Abstract Background People with a mental illness have higher risks of somatic diseases and higher mortality, but this has been poorly documented in France. We studied the associations between mental illnesses and acute cardiovascular events (ACEs) and cancers in the French national health data system (SNDS). Methods We included all health insurance general scheme beneficiaries ≥18 years-of-age in 2016. Mental illnesses (psychotic disorder, neurotic or mood disorder, mental retardation and addictive disorder), ACEs (acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stroke, acute heart failure and pulmonary embolism) and cancers (breast, colorectal, lung and prostate) were identified using algorithms based on long-term disease registry, hospitalization diagnoses and specific drug deliveries. The associations were measured using morbidity ratios standardized by age and gender when appropriate (SMRs). Results ACEs were more frequent in the subjects with a mental illness than in the general population: ACS (SMR: 1.6), stroke (2.3), acute heart failure (1.9), pulmonary embolism (2.4). Similar results were found for each mental illness, except for ACS, which were less frequent in those with a mental retardation (SMR: 0.5) and were not associated with psychotic disorder (SMR: 1.0). Mental illness was also associated with more frequent breast (SMR: 1.3), colorectal (1.3), lung (2.0) and prostate (1.2) cancers, in particular for those with a neurotic or mood disorder (SMRs: 1.3, 1.5, 2.3, 1.2, respectively) and, for lung cancer, those with an addictive disorder (SMR: 2.6). Conclusions Globally, ACEs and cancers were more frequent in patients with a mental illness relative to the general population after standardization by age and gender, which could be related to adverse effects of certain psychotropic drugs or behaviours or risk factors related to the mental illness. Healthcare professionals should be aware of this to more adequately account for the specificities of the patients with a mental illness. Key messages ACEs and cancers were more frequent in patients with a mental illness relative to the general population after standardization by age and gender. Healthcare professionals should be aware of this to more adequately account for the specificities of the patients with a mental illness.
