Background This meta-analysis seeks to quantify the prospective association between neuroticism and the common mental disorders (CMDs, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse) as well as thought disorders (psychosis/schizophrenia) and non-specific mental distress. Data on the degree of confounding of the prospective association of neuroticism by baseline symptoms and psychiatric history, and the rate of decay of neuroticism's effect over time, can inform theories about the structure…

There is evidence, however, that transitory developmental expression of psychosis (psychosis proneness) may become abnormally persistent and subsequently clinically relevant (impairment), depending on the degree of environmental risk the person is additionally exposed to.

Clinical results underscore the potential utility of conceptualizing patient treatment needs using an approach targeting psychopathological systems underlying meta-structural classification rubrics, and document an empirically derived thought disorder factor that is a subdomain of the internalizing dimension, characterized by schizoid, paranoid, schizotypal and avoidant personality disorders as well as manic episodes.

It is shown that Neuroticism confers risk for a first lifetime episode of clinically significant depression and this finding has implications for understanding the etiology of late-life depression and could also aid in the identification and treatment of people at risk.

There was no evidence of a negative change from premorbid to postmorbid assessment for any of the personality traits, and 2 independent simultaneous processes are suggested: the ongoing expression of vulnerability as a personality deviance; and synchrony of change between severity of depressive symptoms and personalityDeviance.

Results from both longitudinal and genetic analyses support the hypothesis that neuroticism strongly reflects the liability to MD, which arises largely because neuroticism indexes the genetic risk for depressive illness.
