Abstract
Background
A range of psychiatric disorders are associated with brain tumors. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of psychiatric disorders in adults with primary brain tumors before and after surgery.
Methods
The study was conducted on 120 adult patients diagnosed with primary brain tumors (age ≥18 years). Patients with recent diagnosis (less than 6 months) who were hospitalized in Imam Reza Hospital of Tabriz between December 2016 and November 2017 were included. The diagnostic interview was performed based on DSM-IV criteria using a semi-structured interview with SCID-I before and one month after surgery. The frequency of psychiatric disorders in patients was then compared pre- and post-operation.
Results
Pre-surgical studies revealed that 26.66 % of patients with primary brain tumors had symptoms of psychiatric disorders. The most prevalent disorders found in patients were depressive disorders (13.07 %), adjustment disorder (9/15 %) and anxiety disorders (5.88 %).
Post-surgical evaluations indicated that the frequency of psychiatric disorders was reduced to 22.5 %. However, there was no significant difference between pre- and post-surgical outcomes. Among patients with psychiatric disorders, the most common location of brain tumors was frontal lobe and the most common pathology was meningioma. Further analysis also revealed that tumor location and pathology was not associated with the incidence and type of psychiatric disorders.
Conclusion
In adults with primary brain tumors, the most common psychiatric disorder was depressive disorder.
期刊介绍：
Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research publishes original papers and reviews in
biological psychiatry,
brain research,
neurology,
neuropsychiatry,
neuropsychoimmunology,
psychopathology,
psychotherapy.
The journal has a focus on international and interdisciplinary basic research with clinical relevance. Translational research is particularly appreciated. Authors are allowed to submit their manuscript in their native language as supplemental data to the English version.
Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research is related to the oldest German speaking journal in this field, the Centralblatt fur Nervenheilkunde, Psychiatrie und gerichtliche Psychopathologie, founded in 1878. The tradition and idea of previous famous editors (Alois Alzheimer and Kurt Schneider among others) was continued in modernized form with Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research. Centralblatt was a journal of broad scope and relevance, now Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research represents a journal with translational and interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on clinically oriented research in psychiatry, neurology and neighboring fields of neurosciences and psychology/psychotherapy with a preference for biologically oriented research including basic research. Preference is given for papers from newly emerging fields, like clinical psychoimmunology/neuroimmunology, and ideas.
