depression was recorded. The D group started smoking earlier, but
without differences of cigarettes daily.
Conclusions
The group of alcoholicswith depression started smo-
king earlier. They were characterized by higher neuroticism and
lower extraversion on admission, which could predict persistent
secondary depression. Screening on personality traits among
alcoholics on admission could improve prevention of secondary
depression after alcohol withdrawal.

Introduction
At the present stage of psychiatry development, the
problem of co-morbidity, which is an important factor determi-
ning the effectiveness of treatment. One of such tendencies is the
combination of neurotic pathology and addictive behavior (AB).
Objectives
To research AB features in neurotic disorders.
Methodology
One hundred and forty-eight patients with neuro-
tic disorders: neurasthenia (F48.0), dissociative disorder (F44.7),
anxiety-phobic disorder (F40.8), according to ICD-10 criteria.
Clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic (AUDIT-like tests),
statistical methods were used.
Results
It was found out that the patients with neurotic disor-
ders had a high risk of AB formation (59.73%). The most
prominent among AB were: the use of psychoactive substances
(tea/coffee [11,682], tobacco [8,091], sedatives [6,964], food addic-
tion [14,036]), as well as socio-acceptable AB, such as Internet
(13,527), watching television (9,982), computer games (2,909),
shopping (7,264), workaholism (15,018). Socio-demographic cha-
racteristics of the generation of neurotic disorders with AB were
determined: young age (50.46%), AB presence among the sur-
rounding people (91.64%), a short interval of time between the
psychogenic factor exposure and the first signs of neurotic disor-
der (50.46%). The clinical pattern of neurotic disorders with AB was
characterized by a predominance of anxiety-obsessive (35.78%),
as well as anxiety-phobic (45.95%) syndromes associated with
AB: “Shopping” (
−
0.32;
−
0.51, respectively), “Sleeping pills, seda-
tives” (
−
0.37;
−
0.42), “Sex” (
−
0.41;
−
0.37) and “Tea/coffee” (
−
0.34;
−
0.39).
Conclusions
The data obtained determine AB specificity and
should be taken into account in pharmaco – and psychotherapy.

Introduction
Addiction is often underdiagnosed in bipolar disor-
der (BD), although it is frequent and known to complicate its clinical
course.
Objectives
The aim of our study was to study socio-demographic
and clinical factors associated with addiction in BD patients.
Methods
This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and
comparative study on 100 patients followed in our department and
diagnosed with BD type I according to DSM 5. Demographic and
clinical data was compared across the groups: Addiction + (A + ) and
Addiction–(A
−
).
Results
Nighteen patients had an addiction co-morbidity (A + ),
whereas 81 had not (A
−
). The mean age of the (A + ) group
was 39.47 years whereas it was 42.52 years in the (A
−
)
group. Males represented 68.4% of the (A + ) group and 48.1%
of the (A
−
) group. Age of illness onset was lower in the (A + )
group (mean = 23.16, median = 21) compared to the (A
−
) group
(mean = 26.04, median = 27). Addiction co-morbidity was signifi-
cantly associated with predominant manic polarity (
P
= 0.03). All
(A + ) patients presented mood episodes with psychotic features,
whereas psychotic features were only found in 86.6% of (A
−
)
patients. Co-morbid addiction was significantly associated with
a higher number of mood episodes (
P
= 0.04), a higher number
and duration of hospitalisations (
P
= 0.02,
P
= 0.015), and a poorer
compliance (
P
= 0.07). All A+ subjects received antipsychotics, and
they were significantly more to receive long-acting antipsychotics
(
P
= 0.06).
Conclusions
Addictions worsen the prognosis of bipolar disorder
and require specific therapeutic strategies. They deserve therefore
the particular attention of clinicians.

Introduction
There is little information describing the trajecto-
ries of depression and anxiety symptomatology in the context of
coronary heart disease (CHD), and their comparison according to
sociodemographic and disabilitymeasures, cardiac risk factors, and
health care costs.
Methods
Using a primary care cohort of 803 patients with a
diagnosis of CHD, a latent class growth curve model was deve-
loped to study the distinct trajectories of depression and anxiety
symptoms (using the hospital anxiety and depression scale) over a
3-year period comprised of 7 distinct follow-uppoints. Multinomial
regression analysis was then conducted to study the association
between latent classes, baseline risk factors, and total health care
costs across time.
Results
The 5-class model yielded the best combination of sta-
tistical best-fit analysis and clinical correlation. These classes were
as follows: “stable asymptomatic” (
n
= 558), “worsening” (
n
= 64),
“improving” (
n
= 15), “chronic high” (
n
= 55), and “fluctuating symp-
tomatology” (
n
= 111). The comparison group was the “stable
asymptomatic” class. The symptomatic classes were younger and
had higher proportion of women, and were also associated with
non-white ethnicity, being a current smoker, and having chest pain.
Other measures of disease severity, such as a history of myocardial
infarction and co-morbidities, were not associatedwith classmem-
bership. The highest mean total health care costs across the 3 years
were the “chronic high” and “worsening” class, with the lowest
being the “improving” and “stable low” classes. The total societal
