Objective: The aim of this research is to study the structural features of alexithymia dimension in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, the relation between alexithymia, depression and negative symptoms, which overlap in terms of schizophrenia clinical presentation, and to find out whether they differ from one another. Methods: The study has been conducted with 208 outpatients treated at the Outpatient Clinic of schizophrenia of the Erenköy Mental Health and Neurological Diseases Training and Research Hospital. Patients with schizophrenia were evaluated via the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, the Calgary Schizophrenia Depression Scale, the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Findings: Alexithymia rate was found to be 36.7% in patients with schizophrenia. Alexithymia was found to be associated with negative symptoms and clinical variables. In the control group with A+ (alexithymic schizophrenia), the age of onset was earlier than in the A- (non-alexithymic schizophrenia) group and the average scores of the GAF were lower. Conclusion: In this study, Alexithymia in schizophrenia was found different from negative symptoms and depression in terms of dimension. TAS, which has three subscales, is factored into two subscales (difficulty identifying feelings (TAS-A) and difficulty describing feelings (TAS-B)) in patients with schizophrenia. Clinicians may use TAS-11, 14 versions or existing 20- item version for the assessment of alexithymia among schizophrenic patients. Assessment of alexithymia as a separate dimension has the potential to offer a new approach to understand the neurobiology and treatment of schizophrenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and MDD specifiers with temperament and personality traits with a perspective focused on Nine Type Temperament Model (NTTM). Method: 203 healthy participants who are matched with the 208 MDD participants group between 18-60 years old and in at least eight weeks remission period and treatment in progress, without an additional diagnosis were included in the study. Socio-demographic data form, Nine Types of Temperament Scale (NTTS) and Temperament Character Inventory (TCI) were applied to all participants, and in addition, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were applied to the subjects with MDD. MDD specifiers were evaluated using follow-up data files. Results: According to results, both Nine Type Temperament (NTT) Model's types, which are NTT1, NTT2, NTT3, NTT4, NTT6 and NTT8, and Psychobiological Personality Model's dimensions which are consisted of the cooperation, persistence, harm avoidance and selfmanagement were found to be associated with MDD. From the point of MDD determinants; anxiety-distressing characteristics are associated with NTM2, NTM3, NTM6, NTM9; melancholy characteristics is concerned with NTT1, NTT5 and NTT6; seasonal characteristics are related to NTT4; mixed features are relevant with NTT4 and NTT7; and atypical features are associated with NTT5, NTT7, NTT9. As a result, MDD determinants are found to be associated with temperament types which are coming from NTTM. Discussion: It is seen that temperament, which constitutes the structural basis of personality, is an effective parameter both in the diagnosis and in the individual-specific recognition of symptomatology in MDD patients. In addition, it can be said that temperament can be a discriminating factor in defining MDD specifiers. The development of temperament-oriented diagnosis and treatment strategies in future studies may be beneficial for the practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

integumentary system ,Article Subject - Abstract
Hair loss is a rare side effect of psychotropic drugs. The most related drug class with this side effect is the mood stabilizers. Studies reporting the sertraline-induced alopecia are limited in number. Sertraline is a potent antidepressant which inhibits the serotonin reuptake from the presynaptic terminals selectively. The reason for hair loss could not be elucidated completely. Psychotropic drugs are usually considered to lead to hair loss through influencing the telogen phase of hair follicle. This paper reports a 21-year-old male with diffuse hair loss induced by sertraline use and improved by quitting the drug. To the best of our knowledge, there are no other case reports on sertraline-induced alopecia within 2 weeks.

Background/aim: We aimed to investigate and compare to healthy controls the variations in the levels of nitric oxide (NO), asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA), symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA), and L-arginine levels in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Materials and methods: We enrolled 30 patients with OCD and 30 healthy controls in the study consecutively. Diagnostic interviews of all participants were conducted with the Structured Clinical Interview for Axis I Disorders (SCID-I), and sociodemographic data of the participants were recorded. Patients scoring 10 points or more on the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale were enrolled in the study. Results: The NO levels of patients with OCD were increased compared to the control group, but the increase was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). However, patients with OCD had significantly lower levels of ADMA, SDMA, and L-arginine compared with the controls (P < 0.001). Conclusion: We found a significant decrease in ADMA, SDMA, and L-arginine as NO inhibitors between the groups, possibly because of an increase in NO. However, the insignificant increase in NO suggests that ADMA, SDMA, and L-arginine play direct and potentially important roles in OCD biology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the internalized stigmatization on bipolar disorder (BD) patients. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 BD patients that provided written informed consent to participate. Diagnosis of the BD patients that were in remission and receiving outpatient treatment was performed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I) and patient data were recorded using SKIP-TURK. In addition, the patients were administered the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI), Mood Stabilizer Compliance Questionnaire (MSQC), and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment, abbreviated form (WHOQOL-BREF). Results: Internalized stigmatization was observed in 46% of the BD patients; these patients had higher functionality scores, shorter regression pe- riods, and more depressive episodes than those without internalized stigmatization. Although internalized stigmatization occurred more frequently in seasonal and rapid cycling patients, both attributes were prodrome of internalized stigmatization. Internalized stigmatization was observed more frequently in patients with low socioeconomic status, low level of education, rural residence, lack of work, and more children. There was a strong correlation between ISMI score, and WHOQOL-BREF and MSQC scores. Conclusion: The clinical features of the BD and internalized stigmatization were observed to affect each other. Furthermore, stigmatization affected treatment compliance and quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: One of the most common sleep disorders is insomnia, and it is also an independent risk factor related to sexual dysfunction (SD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the anger parameters, temperament parameters, and alexithymia in insomnia patients with SD. Material and Methods: The study group consisted of 92 patients diagnosed with insomnia according to the third edition of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders. The sociodemographic data form, Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Toronto Structured Interview for Alexithymia (TSIA), Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) were applied to the patients. Results: While 62 patients had SD, 30 patients had no SD. ISI, PSQI, anger in score were significantly higher in patients with SD (p=0.048, p=0.007, p=0.032, respectively). While depressive and anxious temperament was significantly higher in patients with SD (p=0.026, p=0.008, respectively), hyperthymic temperament was significantly higher in patients without SD (p=0.013). ISI score, depressive, and anxious temperament were significantly correlated with the ASEX score (r=0.214, p=0.041; r=0.261, p=0.012; r=0.286, p=0.007, respectively). Linear regression revealed that depressive, cyclothymic, and irritable temperaments were predictors of ISI (p=0.001). According to logistic regression, hyperthymic temperament was an independent predictor of SD (p=0.001). Conclusion: Psychological factors should also be considered in studies conducted on the relationship between insomnia and SD. Further research is needed on temperament characteristics, alexithymia and anger issues. Thus, patients can be approached more comprehensively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ATTACHMENT behavior , *ATTACHMENT theory (Psychology) , *PATHOLOGICAL psychology , *INTERPERSONAL relations , *ANXIETY disorders , *MENTAL depression - Abstract
The type of attachment defined in the early stages of life and thought to be continuous, is a phenomenon that shapes the pattern of how a person makes contact with others. The clinical appearance of every type of attachment is different and each one has prospective and retrospective phenomenological reflections. In all stages of life and in close relationships, it can be observed if a person gets in close contact with someone else and if this relation bears supportive and protective qualities. According to attachment theorists, once it is defined as safe or unsafe during nursing period, it shows little change. Starting from Bowlby's work, unsafe attachment type is considered as the determining factor of psychopathology in the later periods of life, while safe attachment is considered as in relation with healthy processes. The nature's original model is safe attachment. Anxious/indecisive attachment, an unsafe attachment type, is associated with anxiety disorders and depressive disorder, while avoidant attachment is associated with behavior disorder and other extroverted pathologies. Disorganized/disoriented attachment is considered to be together with dissociative disorder. The aim of this paper is to review attachment theory and the relation between attachment and psychopathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

İki Uçlu Bozukluğu olan hastalarda nörobilişsel defisitlerin hastalığın seyri ve ciddiyeti yönünde belirleyici olduğu, yineleyen atakların ilerleyici bilişsel yıkımla ilişkili olduğu, ötimik dönemdeki hastaların uzun süreli takipleri sonucunda nörobilişsel defisitlerin ve işleyen bellek, kavram değiştirme, yürütücü işlevler ve sözel akıcılık gibi kognitif fonksiyonu gösteren alanlarda (bilişsel işlev alanlarında) bozulmanın semptomatik iyileşme sonrasında da devam ettiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bunun fronto-subkortikal döngüdeki bir bozukluk sonucu geliştiği öne sürülmüş olup; çeşitli çalışmalarda nörogörüntüleme yöntemleriyle bu konu desteklenmiştir.Son yıllarda, değişik ruhsal bozuklukların patofizyolojisini açıklamada serbest radikaller, antioksidanlar, nitrik oksit (NO) ve asimetrik dimetilarjinin (ADMA) ile ilgili çalışmalar önemli bir yer tutmaya başlamıştır. Hücreler serbest radikal ataklarına karşı antioksidan ve serbest radikal toplayıcı sistemlerle donatılmıştır. Bunlar hücreyi serbest radikallerin yıpratıcı etkisinden korur. İki Uçlu Bozukluk tanısı konulmuş hastalarda serbest radikal hasarı sonucu membran defekti olduğuna dair bulgular mevcuttur. Vücutta çok farklı antioksidanlar olduğu göz önüne alınırsa, genel oksidatif stres parametresi olarak total antioksidan kapasite ölçümünün çalışmalarda anlamlı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Asimetrik dimetilarjinin (ADMA) ve simetrik dimetil arjinin (SDMA) başlıca metil arjinin türevleridir. ADMA, L-Arjininin guanido analoğudur ve endojen olarak sentezlenir. Arjinin ve ADMA, nitrik oksit sentezinin kontrolünde önemli rol oynarlar. Nitrik oksitin vasküler tonusun düzenlenmesinde platelet adezyon ve agregasyonunda rol oynadığı ayrıca sitoprotektif genlerin ekspresyonunu artırdığı için nöroprotektif bir fonksiyonu olduğu, öğrenme ve ezberlemede etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. ADMA'nın NOS enzimini inhibe ettiği gösterilirken, ADMA'nın stereoizomeri olan SDMA'nın NOS enzimini inhibisyonu gösterilememiş fakat arjinin ve ADMA ile hücre giriş yolunu etkileyerek NO üretim hızında dolaylı yoldan etkisi olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca NO' nun ADMA etkisiyle düzeyi azalması nedeniyle serebral kan akımının bozulduğu, kognitif fonksiyonlarda bozulmaya sebep olabileceği düşünülmüş olup, buna yönelik kognitif bozukluğun görüldüğü bilinen alzheimer, siroz ve major depresif bozukluk hastalarında ADMA ile kognitif bozukluğun ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bazı çalışmalarda bu veriler nörogörüntüleme çalışmalarıyla desteklenmiştir. Ayrıca literatüre baktığımızda İkiUçlu Bozukluk hastalarının manik atak dönemlerinde ADMA düzeylerinin kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı ölçüde yüksek olduğu, buna karşılık NO düzeylerinin hasta grubunda ADMA yüksekliğine paralel bir şekilde düşük olduğu gösterilmiştir.Plazma, serum, idrar ve diğer biyolojik örneklerde sayısız antioksidan bulunduğundan bunların tek başına ölçümü hem çok pratik olmamakta, hem de biyosistemdeki toplam antioksidan durumu yansıtmamaktadır. Bu yüzden Total Antioksidan Kapasitesi (TAK) , biyosistemlerdeki antioksidan durumu özetlemek açısından, bilinen ya da henüz keşfedilmemiş olan antioksidanların tek başına ölçülmesinden daha çok bilgi verebilir. Bu nedenle de serum total antioksidan durumu pek çok değişik bileşik ve sistemik metabolik tepkimenin toplam sonucunu yansıtabilir.Literatürü taradığımızda bildiğimiz kadarıyla ötimik dönemdeki İki Uçlu Bozukluklu hastalarda ADMA, SDMA, NO ve TAK düzeylerinin çalışılıp bunların, kognisyondaki bozulmayla ilişkisi olup olmadığının incelenmediği gözlendi.Bu çalışmada İki uçlu bozukluklu hastalarda kognitif işlevler ile ADMA, SDMA, NO ve TAK aralarındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçladık. Bu amaçla polikliniğimize ayaktan başvuran ve DSM-V tanı kriterlerine göre klinik görüşmeyle İki Uçlu I Bozukluk tanısı almış olup, çalışmaya alındığında son 1 yıl içinde remisyonda olan ve HAM-D ve YMDÖ 7 veya altında olan, 18 yaşından büyük, testleri anlayıp muhakeme edebilecek düzeyde entelektüel kapasite ve zekâ düzeyine sahip, kooperasyon problemi olmayan ve okuryazar olan 42 hasta ve 30 sağlıklı gönüllüden oluşan kontrol grubunda nörobilişsel fonksiyonları değerlendirmek üzere nörokognitif test bataryası uygulanmış ve oksidatif metabolizma parametreleri olarak serum Asimetrik Dimetil Arjinin, Simetrik Dimetil Arjinin, Nitrik Oksit düzeyleri ve Total Antioksidan Kapasitesinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla kan örnekleri alınarak biyokimyasal ölçümleri yapılmış ve bilişsel işlevler ve oksidatif metabolizma arasındaki ilişki değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmamızın sonucunda; kayıt belleği ve öğrenmeyi değerlendirmek için kullanılan Rey Sözel Öğrenme ve Bellek Testi; çalışma belleğinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla kullanılan Digit Span Geri Testi; Dil işlev sahasını değerlendirilmesi için kullanılan Kontrollü Kelime Çağrışım Testi ve Soyutlama ve kavramsallaştırma yetisini değerlendirmek amacıyla kullandığımız Wisconsin Kart Eşleştirme Testi performanslarının ötimik dönemde de olsa İki Uçlu Bozukluklu hastalarda düşük olduğu saptandı. Hastaların oksidatif dengesini değerlendirmek amacıyla ölçülen SDMA değerleri hastalarda kontrollere göre istatistiki olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu, ADMA değerleri ise yine istatistiki olarak anlamlı olarak düşük olduğu görüldü. ADMA değeri Rey Sözel Öğrenme ve Bellek Testi puanları (Rey4, Rey Toplam ve Doğruyu Ayırt Etme Puanları) ile pozitif korele olduğu görüldü. SDMA değerinin stroop-1,2,5 süresi ile pozitif korele olduğu görüldü. NO değeri Stroop-3 süresi ile pozitif korele olduğu görüldü. TAK düzeyinin ile WCST toplam doğru sayısı puanı ile korele olduğu görüldü. ADMA/SDMA/NO/TAK değerleri arasında korelasyon bulunamadı.İki uçlu bozukluklu hastalarda ötimik dönemde de işlevsellikteki düşmenin devam etmesinin antioksidan sistemdeki bozulmanın ve bununla korele olarak kognitif işlevlerde bozulmanın bir sebep olabileceğini düşünmüştük. Anlaşılan o ki; her ne kadar kognitif bozulma mevcut olsa bile çalışmış olduğumuz değerlerle bire bir korelasyon bulamadık. Hastalarımızın farklı tedavi protokolleriyle tedavi ediliyor olması; hasta ve kontrol sayılarının kısıtlı olması sonuçlarımızı etkileyen kısıtlıklar olarak belirtilebilir.Kognitif bozulmanın iki uçlu bozukluktaki nedenlerini araştırmak için farklı çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu düşünülmektedir. Özellikle aynı hasta grubunun hem remisyon hem mani ve mümkünse depresif dönemlerini de kapsayan çalışmalar sonuçların daha net değerlendirilmesi açısından faydalı olabileceği düşünüyoruz. It's observed that patients who have bipolar disorder, neurocognitive deficits have significant effects on disease's course and seriousness, repetitive attacks are associated with progressive cognitive destruction. At the same time it's that clear that after symptomatic healing process corruption has continued on areas showing cognitive functions such as ; neurocognitive deficits and processing memory, change of notion, executive functions and verbal fluency disorientation processing as a result of long term observation of patients in euthymic period . It has been claimed that these things are evolved as a result of disorder on frontal-subcortical cycle and this work was supported with neuroimaging studies.Recently, free radicals while explaining the pathophysiology of various mental disorders, studies about antioxidant, nitric oxide (NO) and asymmetric dimethyl are started to have important place. Cells are equipped with antioxidant and radical gathering systems against free radical attacks. These are protecting them against corruption effects of free radicals. It's found that the patients diagnosing bipolar disorder have membrane defects result of free radical damage. Human body has various kind of antioxidant and it's consider to evaluate the capacity of total antioxidant as a parameter of general oxidative stress has an important place. Asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) are the main derivatives of methyl arginine. ADMA and L-arginine are guanido's analog and it's synthesize as endogenous. Arginine and ADMA have an important role on controlling synthesize of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has effect on regulating tone of vascular and has a role on platelets adhesion and aggregation and also it increases cytoprotective genes expression, so it's shown that it is a function of neuroprotective and it has significant effects on learning and memorizing. It's shown that ADMA inhibited enzyme of NOS beside these stereoisomer of ADMA can't inhibited the enzyme of NOS but it affects the entrance of cells and it increases the production of NO indirectly via arginine and ADMA. At the same time NO decreases because of ADMA and result of these cerebral blood flow disordered, it's consider that it can be reason of disorder of cognitive function , it's shown that ADMA is related with cognitive disorder by observing patients who has cognitive disorder such as Alzheimer ,cirrhosis and major depressive . On some researches these data are supported with neuroimaging. At the same time when it's searched on literatures the patients who have bipolar disorder have higher level of ADMA when they are on manic attack period when they are compared with other control groups, whereas when the ADMA has higher level parallel to these NO level is lower.Plasma, serum, urine and the other biological samples have countless of antioxidant so it's hard and not practical to measure all of them and it's not show the total antioxidant levels in bio-system . So if it's summarized the status of antioxidant on bıo-system, Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) can give more information than the measurement of known or unknown antioxidant one by one. That's why serum can show result of total antioxidant status and many other combined and systematic metabolic reactions.When we searched the literatüre, as far as we know, it was observed ADMA, SDMA, NO and TAC levels assayed them, not examined whether the relationship with the deterioration in cognition in euthymic bipolar disorder patients.In this study it's aimed that searching the relation between cognitive functions of patients have bipolar disorder and ADMA, SDMA, NO and TAC. There are 42 sick and 30 healthy volunteer who have the criteria below come the clinic and created groups. The criteria to include people are; according to interviews with clinical DSM-V diagnosis has bipolar-I disorder, when they include the work they need to be in a remission on last 1 year and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and Young Mania Rating Scale need to be below 7 or less, older than 18-year-old, to have intelligence and intellectual capacity of understanding the tests and evaluating them, having no problem with cooperation and being literate. To evaluate the neurocognitive functions neurocognitive test battery has applied and as an oxidative metabolism parameters blood's sampled to evaluate the serum asymmetric dimethyl arginine, symmetric dimethyl arginine, nitric oxide levels and TCA. After all biochemical evaluation relation between cognitive functions and oxidative metabolism are evaluated.As a result of our study; used to assess learning and recording memory ,Rey Verbal Learning and Memory Test; used to evaluate the working memory Digit Span Backwards Test; used for evaluating the functions of language area Controlled Word Association Test and used to assess the ability of abstraction and conceptualization Wisconsin Card Sorting Test performances were found to be low in patients with Bipolar Disorder, albeit in euthymic. To assess the oxidative stability of patients measured SDMA levels according to a statistically significantly higher in patients with controls and ADMA levels were found to be statistically significant as still low. ADMA levels were found to be positively correlated Rey Verbal Learning and Memory Test scores (Rey4, Rey Total and The Correct of Discrimination Ratings). The value of the SDMA was found to be positively correlated with the duration of the Stroop-1,2,5. NO levels were found to be positively correlated with the duration of the Stroop-3. TAC levels were found to be correlated with the WCST total number of correct points.ADMA / SDMA / NO / TAC values no correlation between.We thought it would be a reason the deterioration of the antioxidant system and the deterioration in cognitive function were correlated with it the continuing fall in functionality in euthymic patients with bipolar disorder. Apparently it; although cognitive impairment, even if present one could not find a correlation with the values we have tried. May be specified as constraint affecting our results that our patients are treated with different treatment protocols; the limited number of patients and controls.It is believed that the need for different studies to investigate the causes of cognitive impairment in bipolar disorder. We think in terms of a clearer evaluation of the results may be useful both remission and periods of mania and possible depression including the studies in particular, the same group of patients. 86

- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the internalized stigmatization on bipolar disorder (BD) patients., Materials and Methods: The study included 100 BD patients that provided written informed consent to participate. Diagnosis of the BD patients that were in remission and receiving outpatient treatment was performed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I) and patient data were recorded using SKIP-TURK. In addition, the patients were administered the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI), Mood Stabilizer Compliance Questionnaire (MSQC), and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment, abbreviated form (WHOQOL-BREF)., Results: Internalized stigmatization was observed in 46% of the BD patients; these patients had higher functionality scores, shorter regression periods, and more depressive episodes than those without internalized stigmatization. Although internalized stigmatization occurred more frequently in seasonal and rapid cycling patients, both attributes were prodrome of internalized stigmatization. Internalized stigmatization was observed more frequently in patients with low socioeconomic status, low level of education, rural residence, lack of work, and more children. There was a strong correlation between ISMI score, and WHOQOL-BREF and MSQC scores., Conclusion: The clinical features of the BD and internalized stigmatization were observed to affect each other. Furthermore, stigmatization affected treatment compliance and quality of life.
