Abstract
This chapter focuses on emotion-related impulsivity and its relation to mood disorders. We begin with a brief overview of emotion-related impulsivity, in which we discuss theory and measure development. We then review a growing literature on the relevance of emotion-related impulsivity to depression, suicidality, and bipolar disorder. With the mounting evidence that this form of impulsivity is particularly important for understanding these syndromes, we consider newer research on possible mechanisms. We end by considering future directions.
