Method:
A total of five hundred and eighty- seven adult patients (N-587) diagnosed with BI polar I or BI polar II were used for the study. A total of 418 were recruited from departments of psychiatry in France and 169 were recruited from three psychiatric hospitals in Norway for comparison.
A comparison analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between childhood trauma and substance abuse. A clinical assessment was conducted on each participant from France by using the French version of the diagnostic interview for genetic studies. The Norweigin population was assessed by the structured clinical interview (DSM-5). A questionaire was used to assess the childhood trauma. Lastly, a statistical analysis was used to compare the different variables and find the standard deviation. …show more content…
The study also investigated weather or not substance use contributed to early age of onset symptoms of Bi polar, suicided attempts, severity of symptoms, and rapid cycling. Clinical assessments were conducted to interview the participant’s and measure the age of onset, suicide attempt, severity of symptoms, and rapid cycling.
