Conclusions:1.MD symptom may effect the personality measurement obviously.2.There are significant differences between personality measured in MD catabasis and that in acute stage.3.MD patients in catabasis show high psychoticism,high nervousness and introversion personality.4.We should assess the personality of MD patients after the symptom being controlled.
