Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe mental disorder that is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania, and depression. The phenotypic expression can be complemented by suicidal behavior, psychosis, comorbid anxiety, substance abuse, and rapid cycling (1). With a prevalence of ~1% and high risk of morbidity, it is a major health problem (2). BD has been shown to be a highly heritable disease, with concordance rates being ~85% within twin studies (3). As in other psychiatric disorders, polygenic components have a role in the liability of the disorder. The combination of both genetic and environmental effects influence the risk of developing the disorder. Up to date, there have been several studies of BD including linkage analysis, candidate gene studies, and genomewide association studies (GWAS). Moreover, it has been established that there is a genetic correlation between BD and schizophrenia conferred by common genetic variation, so called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), suggesting a shared genetic etiology between these diagnostic entities (4). Yet, our knowledge of the role of genetic factors in susceptibility of BD is still limited. Given the fact that BD is a highly heterogeneous disorder, studies with more homogenized groups that gather samples with more specific properties, such as subphenotypes of BD or patients positively responsive to specific drug treatments, may help improve the efficiency of studies. Main challenges in the treatment of BD, as in other disorders, are the differences of response to treatment within patients. Furthermore, adverse events and metabolic conditions caused by mood stabilizers and/ or antipsychotic drugs can affect the treatment procedure of a patient (5).

The relationship between harming behavior and substance use profile, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in antisocial personality disorder Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between substance use and harming behavior profile, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in young adult male population diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Method: The study enrolled 119 ASPD subjects who reported substance use history. All participants were administered sociodemographic data and clinical information form, Addiction Profile Index (API), and Adult ADD/ADHD DSM IVBased Diagnostic Screening and Rating Scale (Adult ADHD Scale). Results: The diagnosis subscale of API and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscale of Adult ADHD Scale scores were significantly higher in subjects with a history of suicide attempt. All subscales of Adult ADHD scale and all API subscales other than motivation subscale scores were significantly higher in forensic cases. In pairwise comparison, attention deficit, hyperactivity/impulsivity and total scores of Adult ADHD scale were significantly higher in moderate and high level addiction groups than low level addiction group. There was a significant correlation between all subscales of Adult ADHD scale and API except motivation subscale. Conclusion: Our study suggests a considerable relationship between substance use profile and harming behavior, and ADHD symptoms in people with ASPD.

Turkish adaptation of Adult Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire Short Form Objective: The aim of the current study was to examine the reliability and validity of Adult Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire Short Form (Adult PARQ Short Form) which can be used to assess adults’ remembrance of parental acceptance-rejection in their childhood, in a normal population in Turkey. Method: The study was conducted with two samples and in two phases. The first study, investigating the factor structure, composed of 424 women (62%) and 261 men (38%), in total 685 subjects between the ages of 18 and 63. A total of 201 university students including 163 women (81%) and 38 men (19%), between the ages of 18 and 25 took part in the second study, evaluating the criterion-related validity, discriminant validity and reliability. In this phase, in addition to Adult PARQShort Form, the Parental Bonding Instrument was used. Results: In exploratory factor analysis, Mother Form of the scale revealed two factor structure (acceptance and rejection) and Father Form revealed three factor structure (acceptance, rejection and neglect). However confirmatory factor analysis showed that revised version of the scale which was obtained by displacing one item in the theoretically proposed 4-factor structure (item 13 was included in Warmth/ Affection instead of Indifference/Neglect), represented better goodness of fit values. The scale represented good internal consistency, test-retest and split half reliabilities. Similarly, the criterion related and discriminant validity features of the scale were supported. Conclusion: Adult PARQShort Form is a reliable and valid instrument evaluating adults’ remembrance of parental acceptance and rejection in their childhood, to use in both clinical applications and scientific researches in Turkey.

Negativism is known as resistance to instructions, contrary comportment to what asked. Negativism is mostly associated with catatonia. Genitourinary complications like urinary retention or urinary incontinence or infections can be seen in catatonia. Here we describe a case of negativism associated urinary bladder overdistension without catatonia. We aim to call attention that urinary bladder overdistension may be associated with negativism without catatonia. A 37 years old female patient had a history of psychotic depression for seven years. She had been on olanzapine treatment during last year until she learnt that she was pregnant six weeks ago. In the past ten days, the patient has not talked, eaten, drunk or slept so she was hospitalized in psychiatry inpatient clinic. Abdominal ultrasound revealed that her bladder volume was nearly 1500 cc and compressing on uterus. A urinary catheter was placed and urinary bladder overdistension resolved. After seven sessions of Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), she recovered completely. Pulmonary complications like pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and aspiration; gastrointestinal complications like constipation due to decreased food intake and dehydration; dental complications due to decreased oral hygiene; genitourinary complications like urinary retention or urinary incontinence or infections; flexion contractures, postural nerve palsies and rhabdomyolysis due to immobilization can be seen in catatonia. Urinary bladder overdistension was associated with catatonia in literature but in our case urinary bladder overdistension was associated with negativism without full criteria of catatonia. Caution should be given to negativist pregnant woman because urinary bladder overdistension could be concealed by pregnancy.

Relationship between body image, psychological symptom level and interpersonal style: alternative models Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body image, psychological symptom levels and interpersonal styles in college students. Two models have been tested for this purpose. In one of the models, the mediating effect of interpersonal style on the relationship between body image and psychological symptom levels; in the other model, the mediating effect of psychological symptom levels on the relationship between body image and interpersonal style was tested. Method: The study group consists of 250 undergraduate students at several schools of a public university in Eskisehir who have been on the first term of the academic year 2015-2016. Subjects’ ages ranged 18–26 years. Body-Cathexis Scale, Personality Style Scale, and Brief Symptom Inventory were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The bootstrapping method was also used to test the significance of the indirect effects. Results: Findings revealed that the relationship between body image and interpersonal style was fully mediated by psychological symptom level, whereas the relationship between body image and psychological symptom level was partially mediated by interpersonal style. Conclusion: This study revealed that body image is an important factor in college youth mental health.

Cigarette consumption and related factors in schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and delusional disorder Objective: The present study is designed to assess the rate of smoking and related factors in outpatients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and delusional disorder. Methods: Medical records of 541 patients, diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and delusional disorder according to DSM-IV were examined retrospectively. Daily cigarette consumption, sociodemographic characteristics and medical data of the patients were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors associated with smoking. Correlation analysis was performed to assess factors related with daily cigarette consumption. Results: Of the 541 patients, 242 (44.7%) were current smokers. Smoking rate was significantly higher in males. Although there were differences in sociodemographic characteristics and disorder related variables, there was no difference in smoking rates of patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and delusional disorder. In logistic regression analysis it was shown that smoking was associated with male gender and violent behavior after illness onset in psychotic disorders. Correlation analysis showed that mean number of daily consumed cigarettes correlated moderately with the duration of the illness. Conclusions: In the study, similar smoking rates were found between psychotic disorders. Smoking is strongly related with male gender and violent behavior after onset of illness. The relation between smoking and violent behavior emerges as a new field deserving further investigation.
