Background/purpose: Previous studies showed the association between substance use disorders (SUDs) and borderline and antisocial personality disorders. Substance abusers may have emotional, somatic and interpersonal distresses. This study aimed to investigate the associations between substance, personality and psychosocial distresses.
Methods: This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study recruited 39 individuals with heroin use disorder (HUD), 111 with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) and 101 as the control group in a rural area of Taiwan. The Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) and Opiate Treatment Index were used to assess the association between personality and psychosocial conditions. Deviations of the three personality dimensions of TPQ (novelty seeking, harm avoidance, and reward dependence) could reflect eight personality patterns.
Results: We found SUD was associated with high novelty seeking and harm avoidance traits and explosive (borderline) personality pattern, whereas HUD was also linked with sensitive (narcissistic) pattern. Subjects with HUD tended to have more deviant personality traits than subjects with MUD. For subjects with SUDs, all three personality dimensions and sensitive (narcissistic) personality patterns were associated with emotional and somatic distresses, and those with explosive (borderline) and sensitive (narcissistic) patterns had poor social functioning.
Conclusion: Our results indicate substance abusers with high novelty seeking and harm avoidance, corresponding to explosive (borderline) or sensitive (narcissistic) patterns, to have a higher tendency to suffer from somatic and psychosocial distresses.
