ABSTRACT

Aim

This study aims to determine the effects of personality-specific dysfunctional beliefs on psychiatric treatment adherence of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) type-1 in relation to their suicide attempt history. Additionally, the clinical features of the patients related to that may influence medication adherence.

Materials and Methods

Patients were screened (n=79) using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, and the Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short Form to assess psychiatric treatment adherence and personality-specific dysfunctional beliefs, respectively.

Results

The results of the study show that the psychiatric medication treatment adherent group consisted of 26 (32.9%) patients, while the psychiatric medication treatment non-adherent group consisted of 53 (67.1%) patients. Participants with a history of suicide attempt had high dysfunctional beliefs specific to avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personalities both in the psychiatric medication treatment adherent and psychiatric medication non-adherent group (p˂0.05). The number of patients who stopped their medication due to its side effects was significant higher in the psychiatric medication treatment non-adherent group than the psychiatric medication treatment adherent group (p˂0.05). The age of onset of BD was significantly higher in the psychiatric medication treatment adherent group than in the psychiatric medication treatment non-adherent group (p˂0.05).

Conclusion

This study showed that during the pharmacological management of BD type-1 patients with history of suicide attempt, dysfunctional beliefs specific to avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personalities may be considered. This study highlights the importance of dysfunctional personality beliefs in type-1 BD patients.

INTRODUCTION

Although bipolar disorder (BD) is an economically costly health service, effective treatment thereof remains to be one of the greatest problems of daily psychiatric practice. Success of medication is affected by factors such as patient’s tolerance, suitableness of the regimen, and above all, adherence to the medication1. The World Health Organization (2014) defines medication non-adherence as “a case in which a person’s behavior in taking medication does not correspond with agreed recommendations from health personnel’’. In a recent meta-analysis, medication non-adherence for schizophrenia, major depressive disorders, and BD were detected at 56%, 50%, and 44%, respectively2. Medication non-adherence was significantly related to more hospitalization, and suicide attempts in patients with BD in a prospective observational study3. Moreover, as shown in the same study, costs incurred by non-adherent patients were higher than those of adherent patients3. Medication non-adherence previously was found to be related to some factors such as experiencing side effects, insight problems, reluctance to use psychiatric medication, substance use history, and number of hospitalizations in patients with BD4, 5.

Suicide is a crucial public health problem. Every year, almost 800,000 people die by suicide worldwide6. Death by suicide has an enormous effect on individuals’ mental health7. Suicide affects not only the family of the person who died via suicide but also a considerable group of people who have connections with the person who died via suicide. It was shown that each suicide affected 135 people who knew the person died via suicide8. Additionally, association between suicide and psychopathology is widely accepted9.

BDs are usually comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, making BD management difficult10. Personality disorders are highly comorbid in patients with BD11. In a systematic review of euthymic BD patients, 41.2% had at least one comorbid personality disorder, and cluster B personality disorders were the most common cluster of personality disorders. Moreover, borderline personality disorder (10.1%) was detected as the most common subtype of personality disorder12. Personality disorders adversely influence suicide attempts, treatment outcomes, and psychosocial functioning in BD patients13-17. The association of personality disorders and suicide has been implicated previously. High mortality rates in personality disorders may be associated with suicide18, 19. A recent meta-analysis has shown that the lifetime prevalence of suicide attempt is 33.9% in BD20.

Personality disorders’ effect is one of the substantial factors considering medication non-adherence. This effect may be one of the causes of the adverse clinical course in patients with BD21. Medication adherence problems in BD were previously associated with personality disorder comorbidity22. Additionally, borderline personality disorder was found to be a predictor of antipsychotic treatment non-adherence in BD in a follow-up study23. Besides this, the limited clinical research on this topic calls for further investigations to be done24.

As stated by cognitive theory, a personality disorder is distinguished in the dysfunctional beliefs that characterize and sustain it25. Dysfunctional personality disorder beliefs supply explanations for dysfunctional attitudes to past and current experiences26. Exploring and modifying dysfunctional personality disorder beliefs are among the main goals of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy of personality disorders. In the current study, dysfunctional personality disorder beliefs are considered a proxy for personality disorders, as the beliefs themselves are often what cause the difficulties of personality27.

The present study primarily aimed to evaluate the effect of personality disorder beliefs on medication adherence of patients with BD type-1 (BD-1) in relation to their suicide attempt history. Additionally, to assess the clinical characteristics of the participants in relation to their medication adherence was aimed. To the authors’ knowledge, the present study is the first study exploring the effects of personality disorder beliefs on medication adherence of patients with BD-1 in relation to their suicide attempt history.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The present cross-sectional study was performed with patients followed in Ataturk University Research and Training Hospital Clinic of Psychiatry Outpatient between June 2017 and February 2019. The sample included 79 patients with BD-1, who met the following criteria: age of 18-65 years, a diagnosis of BD-1 established with SCID-I28, 29, and being euthymic in BD as defined by the Turkish version of the Hamilton rating scale for depression (HRSD) ≤730 and Young Mania rating scale ≤ 531 for at least eight weeks. Exclusion criteria were the presence of mental retardation, comorbid axis I, and a medical illness affecting patients’ general health condition.

The necessary approval was obtained from the Atatürk University Faculty of Medicine Clinical Research Ethical Committee (decision no: 21, date: 09.06.2017). The study procedures were conducted in line with the Helsinki Declaration. Informed consent was procured from all participants before their participation in the study. A form was developed to obtain necessary socio-demographic and clinical data regarding the study’s aims.

Morisky Medication Adherence Scale

Participants’ adherence to medication was evaluated using the MMAS, which was created by Morisky et al.32-34. The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale have been evaluated35. The scale includes four items about patients’ adherence to medication. Medication adherence is considered high if the patient answers “no” to all items. Medication adherence is moderate if the patient answers “yes” to one or two items. Medication adherence is poor if the patient answers “yes” to three or four items. In the present study, poor and moderate medication adherence patients have been grouped as medication non-adherent, and patients with high medication adherence as medication adherent36.

Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short Form

The PBQ-SF, developed by Butler et al.37, is a self-rated tool created to evaluate dysfunctional beliefs associated with personality disorder. The PBQ-SF evaluates beliefs associated with ten personality disorders: paranoid, schizoid, antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and passive-aggressive. In PBQ-SF, the respondents are asked to rate 65 statements on a 5-point scale ranging from 0= I do not believe it at all to 4= I believe it totally. Total scores of all the personality disorder beliefs included in the scale extend between 0 and 28. A high score indicates high levels of dysfunction. The PBQ-SF has a reliability and validity study in Turkey38.

Statistical Analysis

Statistical Package for Social Sciences: The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 20.0 Software was used for statistical analysis. The comparison of the medication adherent and medication non-adherent groups in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and clinical features was done through the Pearson chi-squared test and independent-sample t-test. The Pearson chi-squared test used nominal variables, while the independent sample t-test used continuous variables. Using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the skewness and kurtosis values were examined to evaluate the normal distribution of data. Moreover, the patients’ socio-demographic characteristics and clinical features were presented as mean ± standard deviation and percentages (%). In the present study, p values below 0.05 were determined to be statistically significant.

Two-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance Test: The MANOVA was used to determine whether the dysfunctional personality beliefs of patients with BD-1 differ according to medication adherence and history of suicide attempts. The test was conducted with the medication adherence and suicide attempt as independent variables, and the passive-aggressive, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, anti-social, narcissistic, histrionic, schizoid, paranoid, borderline, and avoidant personality beliefs scores as dependent variables. MANOVA is a parametric test and requires that some assumptions be met before analysis of the data. In this direction, all assumptions were checked before the test and were met.

RESULTS

The mean age of patients was 34.49±12.37 years. Among the patients, 34 (43.0%) were female and 45 (57.0%) were male. Their mean number of years of education was 11.56 ± 3.77. Among the patients, 41(51.9%) had psychotic features and 13 (16.5%) had at least one suicide attempt in their medical history. The mean age of BD onset was 24.62±7.78 years.

Medication adherent and medication non-adherent groups were created based on the MMAS. The medication adherent group consisted of 26 (32.9%) patients, while the medication non-adherent group consisted of 53 (67.1%) patients. Table 1 displays a comparison of these two groups with respect to socio-demographic and clinical features and course of illness. In terms of years of education, the medication non-adherent group had significantly higher years of education than the medication adherent group (t=-2.26, p=0.02). In the medication adherent group, the age of BD onset was significantly higher than the medication non-adherent group (t= 2.13, p=0.04). No significant differences were detected regarding the other parameters in Table 1.

While 46.2% (n=12) of patients reported that they experienced drug side effects in the medication adherent group, 67.9 % (n=36) of patients in the non-adherent group reported the same. Statistically, no significant difference was detected between the two groups (X2: 3.46, p=0.06). In terms of stopping medication due to side effects, the number of patients (n=10, 12.7%) was significantly higher in the medication non-adherent group than the adherent group (n=0, 0.0%) (X2: 5.61, p=0.02).

History of BD in the first-degree relatives was not statistically different between the two groups (n=1, 3.8% in the medication adherent group; n=9, 17.3% in the medication non-adherent group) (X2: 2.81, p=0.15). However, history of psychiatric disorder in the first-degree relatives was statistically higher in the medication non-adherent group (n=25, 48.1%) than the adherent group (n=6, 23.1 %) (X2: 4.52, p=0.03).

In all of the patients, the mean avoidant personality belief scores (14.20±5.93) were the highest, and the mean histrionic personality belief scores (6.96±5.61) were the lowest among all personality disorder belief scores (Figure 1). In both groups, the mean avoidant personality belief scores were higher in the adherent group (14.57±5.31) than in the non-adherent group (14.01±6.25), and the mean histrionic personality belief scores were lower in the adherent group (6.84±5.78) than in the non-adherent group (7.01±5.58) (Figure 2). In the group with history of suicide attempt, the mean avoidant personality belief scores (16.76±6.12) were the highest, and the narcissistic personality beliefs scores (9.07±7.15) were the lowest. In the group without history of suicide attempt, the mean histrionic personality disorder beliefs were the lowest (6.27±5.21), and the mean avoidant personality belief scores (13.69±5.81) were the highest (Figure 3). The means and standard deviation values of dysfunctional personality belief scores of the medication-adherent and medication non-adherent patients according to history of suicide attempt are presented in Table 2.

For the assessment of patients’ dysfunctional personality disorder beliefs according to medication adherence and history of suicide attempt, MANOVA was performed. The MANOVA showed a significant multivariate main effect for medication adherence [F(10.66)= 3.500, p=0.001, Wilks’ Λ = 0.653]. However, there is no significant difference between the personality disorder beliefs in terms of medication adherence at the univariate level in MANOVA (Table 3). Additionally, there was a significant multivariate main effect for history of suicide attempt [F(10.66)= 4,290, p= 0.000, Wilks’ Λ = 0,606).
As presented in Table 3, avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personality disorder beliefs were differentiated in terms of history of suicide attempt at the univariate level in MANOVA. In light of these outcomes, patients with history of suicide attempt had significantly higher avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personality disorder beliefs both in the medication adherent and medication non-adherent group (p˂0.05).

DISCUSSION

In this cross-sectional study, it was found that the medication non-adherence rate was 67.1, and suicide attempt history was 16.5% in patients with BD-1. Avoidant personality belief scores were the highest, and histrionic personality belief scores were the lowest among the participants in the present study. BD-1 patients with a history of suicide attempts showed higher avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personality disorder beliefs both in the medication adherent and non-adherent groups.

In the present sample, the medication non-adherence rate was 67.1%. Literature shows that medication non-adherence rate in BD is roughly reported at 50%39. In a clinical trial involving eight countries, 57 % of patients with BD had problems with adherence to treatment40. The differences between the present sample’s high non-adherence rate (67.1%) and the previous studies’ results may be due to the varied sample characteristics and assessment tools used. Besides this, in a clinical trial carried out in Turkey using the same evaluation tool for medication adherence as this clinical trial, a similar medication non-adherence rate (67.5%) was found in patients with BD-136.

In terms of personality pathology, scores of avoidant personality disorder beliefs were found to the highest among the whole sample in the current study. Previously, cluster B and C traits were detected to be more frequent than cluster A disorders in BD41, 42. In remitted patients with BD, cluster B and C disorders were similarly more frequent than cluster A, and borderline personality disorder was the most frequent comorbid personality disorder12. In another meta-analysis that included studies on both outpatient and inpatients, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder ranked first when comparing the frequency of personality disorders42..

In this sample, 16.5% of the participants have a history of suicide attempt. A history of suicide attempt was found at 40.8 % in another study with remitted BD-1 patients43. In a comprehensive report of 101 cases, it was found that 31.1% of BD patients attempted suicide at least once44. Additionally, in the same study, it was stated that small sample size and brief exposure times might overestimate suicidal risk in BD. Additionally, it is assumed that the lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts is associated with geographic region, and geographic differences may have influences on the outcomes20.

In the current sample, personality disorder beliefs from clusters B and C (avoidant, dependent, histrionic, borderline), as well as paranoid personality disorder beliefs from cluster A, were significantly related to the history of suicide attempt. In a ten-year follow-up trial, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders were detected to be associated with suicide attempts45. Cluster B personality disorder comorbidity was related to suicide attempts in remitted BD-1 participants43. The relationship between cluster B personality disorders and suicide attempt is widely acknowledged; however, there are some differences in results among studies. Only cluster C personality disorders were significantly related to suicide attempts in a study that investigated both unipolar and BDs46. In another study, paranoid, dependent, narcissistic, borderline, and histrionic personality disorder beliefs were reported to be associated with suicide attempts26. This study used the same personality belief assessment tool as the present study. Considering the mentioned results, when assessing suicidal risk, the focus should not only be given to cluster B personality disorder traits, but also to cluster C and paranoid personality disorder traits.

High level of education is mostly considered to lead to better medication adherence outcomes in BD47, 48. Contrarily, in a study with BD-1 patients receiving lithium treatment, no difference was found between medication adherent and non-adherent groups regarding years of education49. In the present study, the non-adherent group had higher levels of education than the adherent group. The inconsistency with the previous findings may be due to this study’s sample characteristics. Different population characteristics and inadequate psychoeducation may have contributed to the present study’s results regarding the association between education level and medication adherence. Nonetheless, the influence of education on medication adherence should be considered in future studies.

Regarding the course of BD, results show that the age of onset was significantly lower in the medication non-adherent group in the current study. Early-onset of BD was shown to be related to medication adherence only in some studies50-52. The course of the disorder, early-onset, and medication adherence may influence each other reciprocally. For deeper explanations, further studies are necessary.

Medication-related side effects are considered to be one of the important contributors to medication adherence2. On the contrary, previous reports state that clinicians pay less attention on the causality of the side effects on medication adherence than patients with BD40. Additionally, it was reported that side effects primarily concerning clinicians (e.g., hypothyroidism, diabetes insipidus, hypercalcemia)and patients with BD (e.g. weight gain, tremors, cognitive impairment, and sedation) are different53. In accordance with the previous findings, this study found that the adherent group’s history of discontinuing medication due to side effects was significantly lower than the non-adherent group. Studies on medication-related side effects are crucial to understand this better and satisfy patients’ needs. Hence, the impacts of side effects on patients with BD necessitate the generation of different perspectives in clinical applications.

A family history of BD was related to compliance with psychoeducation programs54. No significant influence of the family history of BD on medication adherence was found in different studies with patients with BD49, 52. In this study, a significant relationship was detected between medication adherence and family history of psychiatric disorder, but not with a family history of BD. Interestingly, in a systematic review, a family history of BD was identified as a factor affecting medication adherence in pediatric BD patients55. Considering the above-mentioned outcomes regarding family history, a family history of BD or psychiatric disorder may have detrimental influences on the adherence of patients with BD.

Study Limitations

The limitations of this clinical trial need to be emphasized. First, the recruitment of the participants from a tertiary hospital where many complex patients were enrolled may limit the generalizability of the results. Second, the MMAS used in the present trial to evaluate medication adherence is a self-report assessment tool. Third, the relatively small sample size limits the results. Fourth, the pharmacological agents that the patients used were not assessed. Fifth, including only euthymic patients may limit the generalizability of the present study’s results. A further study considering the present study’s topics would be performed with BD-1 patients during their episodes. Sixth, only BD-1 patients were enrolled in the present study. The exclusion of other types of BD patients, such as patients with cyclothymia or BD type-2, may have generated limitations. Finally, comorbid psychiatric diagnoses such as substance use disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder were excluded, which may have contributed to the generalizability problems of the present study.

CONCLUSION

As far as we know, this clinical trial is the first to assess the influence of dysfunctional personality disorder beliefs on medication adherence of patients with BD-1 in relation to their previous suicide attempts. This study showed that patients with a history of suicide attempt exhibited higher avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personality disorder beliefs both in the medication adherent and non-adherent groups. This study suggests that assessing avoidant, dependent, histrionic, paranoid, and borderline personality traits is crucial in patients with BD-1 and a history of suicide attempt. Additionally, medication-related side effects, early age of onset of BD-1, and family history of psychiatric disorder may influence the medication adherence of patients with BD-1. Longitudinal studies are necessary in order to comprehend the contributions of dysfunctional personality disorder beliefs on medication adherence in relation to a history of suicide attempt.
