- Abstract
- Circadian rhythms have been known to be associated with bipolar disorders. There are many cases in which hypomanic symptoms are not recognized as indicators of an illness. This study aimed to determine the correlation between the experience of lifetime hypomanic symptoms and circadian typology of university students. A total of 8,562 university students participated in the study. The participants completed the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM) for circadian typology and Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ). Chi-square test and analysis of variance were performed, and the post-hoc result was computed using the FDR adjusted p-values. Overall, the MDQ score was higher in the evening-type group. There was no significant difference between the intermediate-type group and morning-type group for male students. In the evening-type group, the positive response rate was significantly higher for 10 out of 13 items in the MDQ. The evening-type group was more likely to experience hypomanic symptoms. This study showed that circadian and seasonal characteristics related to circadian typology are associated with lifetime hypomanic symptoms. Hence, further investigation is needed to determine the eveningness trait, as it could be a trait marker of bipolar spectrum disorder.
