Childhood family and conduct problems results

  • There were some differences: women reported more sexual trauma and psychological problems in their fathers and men reported more discipline problems at school and more trouble with the police.
  • There were no significant gender differences in family problems scores (F1) but, as expected, men scored significantly higher than women on behavioral/conduct problems.
  • UP and BP subjects did not differ in their total scores on the two factors: family problems and conduct problems. Both did differ significantly from the 183 subjects without mood disorders on sexual trauma.
  • Sufferers from chronic mood disorders scored consistently higher on childhood family problems; the differences were significant in the UP and in the combined (UP ? BP) groups.
  • There were no associations between chronicity and the other variables entered into the analyses: sexual trauma, gender, SCL-90-R depression, anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity scores, family history of mania, and anxious personality . Remarkably also childhood conduct problems were not associated significantly with chronicity
