The impacts of traumatic experiences during childhood on self-esteem will be examined in the present study. It was also aimed to examine the relationship between these traumatic experiences and self-esteem with interpersonal relation levels. Method: This was a descriptive-cross-sectional study carried out during the dates of February 11, 2018 and March 11, 2018 on Gaziantep university students. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Scale of dimensions of interpersonal relationships (SDIR), childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ) were used. Results: Of the 926 students who participated in the study, 712 (76.9 %) were female, 214 (33.1 %) were male. The RSES total score of the students was 12.63±2.36, CTS total score was 48.0±20.97. CTQ were determined to be positively related with the empathy, trust, emotion awareness dimensions of SDIR and negatively related with approval dependence. This result is an indication of low trust, low emotion awareness, increased approval dependence and more empathy in interpersonal relationships. RSES total score was not determined to be related with CTQ total in our study, but a relationship was determined between RSES and only the emotional abuse sub-dimension. The mean scores of RSES in individuals were determined to have a negative relationship with trust and emotion sub-dimensions of SDIR and to have a positive relationship with the empathy and approval sub-dimensions. This result is an indication of less empathy, increase in approval dependence, low emotional awareness and decrease in trust with regard to interpersonal relationships. The differences found significant in the study can be listed as follows: the number of siblings in SDIR empathy dimension, family type in the trust dimension, alcohol use in emotion and trust dimension, gender in all of the emotion, empathy, trust and approval sub-dimensions, chronic disorders in the trust dimension, smoking in approval and emotion dimension, duration of internet use in the emotion sub-dimension. Significant differences were observed with regard to gender, parental attitudes, number of siblings, economic level, family type, alcohol use and smoking in CTQ scores. Duration of internet usage time in a day displayed statistical differences in RSES scores. Conclusion: Childhood traumas have impacts on all dimensions of interpersonal relationships. Self-esteem was determined to be related only with emotional abuse from childhood traumas and self-esteem has a significant impact on interpersonal relationships. Sociodemographic factor analysis has indicated that parental attitudes, family type, alcohol use and smoking, gender are related with childhood traumas, that the number of siblings, family type, alcohol use, gender, chronic disorder, smoking, duration of internet usage are related with interpersonal relationships and that internet usage is rel","PeriodicalId":74168,"journal":{"name":"MedPress psychiatry and behavioral sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74250514","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}

Methods: Electronic records of children and adolescents diagnosed with tension-type headache in Ankara Training and Research Hospital Child Neurology Department between March 2018 and August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, subjects with depression diagnosed based on DSM-5 criteria and its symptoms obtained via Children depression inventory (CDI) and Beck depression inventory (BDI) found in records were collected. Vitamin D deficiency is defined if its serum levels are below 20 ng/mL, and Vitamin B12 deficiency as below 203 pg/mL. SPSS 17.0 was used for analyses and p<.05 was considered as significant. Results: Of 74 subjects with tension-type headache were included. Mean age of all was 14.3 years (9-17) and 81.1% of all were girls. Of 16.2% of them had depression based on DSM-5 criteria. The mean CDI scale was 12.9 (2-32) and BDI scale was 19.3 (9-40). Mean serum level of vitamin D was 14.4 ng/mL (range= 3.80-46.6 ng/mL) and 73% of them had Vitamin D deficiency. Mean serum vitamin B12 levels were 291.3 pg/mL (range= 123.5-792) and 20.3% of them had its “deficiency”. There was no significant relation between vitamin deficiencies and having depression or being adolescent (for all variables p>.05). There was also not any significant correlation between two vitamin levels and depressive symptoms based on CDI and BDI. There was, however, a relation between being girl and vitamin deficiencies, which 88.9% of all vitamin D deficient cases (48/54, c2(1) = 7.192, p = .016, Fisher’s exact test), and 60% of vitamin B12 deficient subjects (9/15, c2(1) = 5.451, p = .030, Fisher’s exact test) were girls. Correlation analyses revealed that age (years) has significant negative correlation with vitamin B12 (Spearman rho=-.352, p= .002), and positive correlation with CDI (Spearman rho=.282, p=.039). There was another negative correlation found between vitamin D and BDI (Spearman rho=-.499, p=.041). Conclusions: Girls with tension-type headache would be evaluated for vitamin D and B12 levels. Being adolescents might have effect on vitamin B12 intake and on depression symptoms.","PeriodicalId":74168,"journal":{"name":"MedPress psychiatry and behavioral sciences","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84941884","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: Our sample consisted of 92 patients who were followed up by bipolar disorder. Participants assessed for diagnosis and remission by criteria of affective disorders part of SCID I then Sociodemographic data form, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) and The Beliefs about Medication Compliance Scale (BMCS) was given. Results: Treatment non-adherence rate were %29,3. Variables that differ significantly in non-adherent group then adherent as follows: low education (p=0.03), medications that causes sedation (p=0,001), not educated about treatment (p=0,05), young age (p=0,04), difficulty in obtaining medicine (p=0,003) and treatment complexity (p=0,01). Particularly training the patient with written/visualized materials were higher in adherent group (p=0,02). While there was no significant difference in terms of BMCS benefit subscale (p=0,47), patients with poor treatment compliance reported significantly higher scores on the BMCS barrier subscale (p=0,01). In the logistic regression analysis, sedative medications, difficulty in obtaining medication and treatment complexity were found to be significant predictors of treatment non-adherence. Conclusion: providing access to medication, informing the prescribing medicines with using visual material and patient-centered approaches would increase the compliance of the medication, especially with minimal use of sedative drugs.","PeriodicalId":74168,"journal":{"name":"MedPress psychiatry and behavioral sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73222198","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}

Olanzapine, a safe and well tolerated atypical antipsychotic, is prescribed in child and adolescent psychiatry clinics. Alopecia may not be described by children and adolescents, but clinicians should be aware of this problem that may lead to impair compliance with treatment.

Methods: This study was conducted in outpatients with CPD who presented to the Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital’s Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic. The sample was comprised of 60 outpatients (53 women, 7 men) who complained of chronic pain for at least 3 months and were not under any medication treatments. The control group comprised of 60 healthy controls (49 women, 11 men). Semi-structured sociodemographic data form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) were administered to the participants. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows, Version 23.0. Results: In CPD patients ASEX scores were significantly higher than healthy controls. It demostrates sexual dysfunction presenting in CPD group. In terms of gender; female ASEX scores were significantly higher than male ones. VAS scores did not correlate to ASEX scores in all of participants.

As populations grow older, the number of BD cases among the seniors is expected to increase. In late-onset BD, etiopathology may differ from young BD patients. Cardiovascular diseases and some other biological mechanisms may play a significant role in the onset of disease. In this case report, we present a nonagenarian admitted with recurrent BD symptoms after twenty-four years of the symptom-free period.
