Method: Medication-naive patients with GAD (n=21) or PD (n=23) and healthy individuals (n=23) were enrolled. Patients were administered a sociodemographic form, Beck Depression Inventory, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Routine biochemical parameters, native thiol, total thiol, and disulphide parameters were measured in all patients and healthy individuals. Results: The native thiol levels of the GAD and PD groups were found significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.001 and p=0.03, respectively), whereas the disulphide levels and disulphide/native thiol ratios of both patient groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.001 and p=0.011, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between the GAD and PD groups with regard to thiol and disulphide levels. Conclusion: Oxidative stress is considered to be one of the molecular changes underlying the pathogenesis of GAD and PD. This study showed that dynamic thiol-disulphide homeostasis was disturbed due to an increase in oxidants and a decrease in antioxidants in GAD and PD patients, suggesting that antioxidant replacement interventions might be an option in the treatment of these disorders.","PeriodicalId":11480,"journal":{"name":"Dusunen Adam: The Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75434392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of the convenience they contribute to our daily lives, one of the most important problems is smartphone addiction associated with the user losing control. Although the results of smartphone addiction are partially known, there is only a limited number of studies explaining the addictive content and smartphone usage profiles. The aim of this study was to determine the smartphone usage profiles and their intended use and to investigate the extent to which their intended use effects smartphone addiction in a group selected from university student populations. Method: The study was carried out with 1465 university students (861 female and 604 male) who had been using smartphones for the last year. Data were collected through standardized, anonymous, self-report online data surveys. All participants were administered a socio-demographic data form and the Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version. Results: As a result of the analysis, it was found that using the smartphone for “social media use” and “meeting new friends” increased the risk of smartphone addiction. “Use for studying/academic purpose” and “use to follow the news” decreased the risk of addiction. Male students, were found to use smartphones more for “playing games,” “to meet new friends,” and “to follow the news” than female students. Conclusion: In our study, smartphone addiction has been associated with certain smartphone usage purposes. In the study, “social media use” and “meeting new friends” on smartphones were the most powerful predictors of smartphone addiction for students while “use for studying/academic purpose” and “to follow the news” were found to be predictors of reduced risk of addiction.","PeriodicalId":11480,"journal":{"name":"Dusunen Adam: The Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74335745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: The sample consisted of 41 female participants who had a family member with a history of at least one year of alcohol or substance dependence with outpatient and/or inpatient treatment and 41 female participants with no history of psychiatric admission or treatment matched to the family members by age, length of education, and marital status. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants and a sociodemographic data form, the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered. Results: Levels of resilience and quality of life were lower and levels of depression were higher in family members of alcohol or substance-dependent individuals compared to the control group. Depression scores were negatively correlated with resilience and quality of life scores. Resilience was positively correlated with all subscale scores for quality of life except general health. In family members, there were positive correlations between the duration of dependence and the scores on the family cohesion subscale and between the number of substance withdrawal periods and structured style subscale scores. With regard to family members’ resilience and quality of life, levels in siblings were higher compared to those of mothers and spouses, whereas the depression levels were higher in mothers compared to siblings of alcohol or substance-dependent patients. There was no difference between the scores for the family cohesion dimension among family members. Conclusion: Strengthening resilience is important for understanding, preventing, and treating psychiatric conditions. Resilience is a dynamic concept that can be learned and improved; therefore, resilience-enhancing programs may be beneficial in improving the quality of life and alleviating the level of depression in family members of dependent patients.","PeriodicalId":11480,"journal":{"name":"Dusunen Adam: The Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences","volume":"287 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85594623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve efficacy, clinicians commonly augment clozapine with another antipsychotic. Clozapine has serious side effects due to its receptor profile. The second antipsychotic to be added to clozapine should be less likely to cause these side effects. Amisulpride may be a suitable medication for clozapine-augmentation therapy. However, side effects may also occur in this combination. Here we report for the first time in a 31-year-old male patient diagnosed with schizophrenia who presented with hyponatremia following the addition of amisulpride to clozapine and the improvement of this condition with dose reduction. When adverse effects are non-fatal or can be controlled by supportive treatments, dose reduction may be more useful than discontinuing the drug. In conclusion, we should not prematurely change the combination of clozapine and amisulpride in treatment-resistant schizophrenia.","PeriodicalId":11480,"journal":{"name":"Dusunen Adam: The Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86681733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and a questionnaire, which was prepared by the researchers based on the literature and designed to determine the reproductive and sexual health issues among the participants. Results: It was determined that the bipolar disorder group had no previous knowledge about menarche and did not menstruate regularly. Compared to the healthy controls, they also experienced more premenstrual problems, masturbated more, had more sexual partners and had more sexually transmitted diseases. Unplanned pregnancy and abortion rates reported more in bipolar group. Moreover, bipolar disorder group reported not to have mammograms and gynecological examinations as required.
