    El presente estudio analiza la presencia de sintomatología depresiva en una muestra de 202 fumadores con y sin trastornos de personalidad que acuden a un tratamiento psicológico para dejar de fumar.

    Los resultados encontrados indican que el grupo de fumadores con trastornos de personalidad presentó más síntomas depresivos que el grupo de fumadores sin trastornos de personalidad, tanto al inicio del tratamiento como al finalizar el mismo. Este hallazgo confirmaría la frecuente asociación entre trastornos del Eje II y malestar emocional, producto del deterioro del funcionamiento general del sujeto por causa de los patrones de comportamiento inflexibles característicos de los trastornos de personalidad.

    The present study analyzes the presence of depressive symptomatology in a sample of 202 smokers with and without personality disorders who participate in a psychological treatment programme for giving up smoking. The results indicate that the group of smokers with personality disorders presented more depressive symptoms than the group of smokers without personality disorders, both at the start and at the end of the treatment. This finding would confirm the widely found association between Axis II disorders and emotional distress, resulting from the deterioration of the individual�s general functioning due to the inflexible behaviour patterns characteristic of personality disorders.
