Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate stigmatizing attitudes towards schizophrenia among Turkish Twitter users.
Methods: In the study designed with the qualitative research method, the tweets containing the keywords "schizophrenia", "schizophrenic", "psychotic" and "psychosis" in Turkish on Twitter were collected using the Knime program. The main themes and sub-themes were created by content analysis.
Results: The studies revealed three major themes: "insult", "negative point of view", and "anti-stigma". While the sub-themes of "swearing" and "mocking" were determined under the main theme of "insult", the sub-theme of "false beliefs" was determined under the theme of "negative point of view", and the sub-themes of "medically appropriate" and "defensive" were determined under the main theme of "antistigma". In the results, it was determined that the word schizophrenia was commonly used to humiliate others and used as a way of addressing with slang words or to mock and that there were stigmatizing statements revealing negative feelings and thoughts in such a way that they would be inconsistent with medical information.
Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to develop programs to combat stigma against schizophrenia disorder and to determine content.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine DNA damage during euthymic and attack periods, and the oxidative metabolism states that may cause this damage in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder. The role of DNA repair mechanisms in this process was also investigated. METHOD The study included a total of 90 patients aged between 18-65 years who were diagnosed with bipolar disorder according to DSM- 5 diagnostic criteria, with 30 patients in euthymic, 30 in manic and 30 in depressive periods. A control group was formed of 30 healthy subjects matched to the patients by age, gender, body mass index and smoking status and/or alcohol consumption. Oxidative metabolism was investigated using the Comet Assay technique to assess DNA damage, according to the oxidant/antioxidant status in the technique developed by Erel with the Rel ASSAY Diagnostics kit (Turkey). The control and patient groups were compared in respect of gene expression levels of OGG1 and NEIL1 repair genes at mRNA level with Real-Time PCR. RESULTS Increased DNA damage was found in the euthymic and manic groups and decreased NEIL1 gene expression in the depressive group. The oxidative stress index was found to be decreased in the patient groups compared to the healthy control group. CONCLUSION Oxidative imbalance and DNA damage and repair disorders may be effective in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder. Further studies on this subject are required to clarify the etiology and new treatment goals.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to assess gaze behaviors and facial affect expressions in mother-infant interaction within the frame of self-contingency and interactive contingency, reflecting self-regulation and interactive regulation, respectively. In Model 1, second-by-second changing gaze behaviors (on partner's face/off partner's face) and in Model 2, facial affect expressions (from positive to negative) were examined. Self-contingency reflects the variability or stability in gaze directions and facial affect expressions in each partner. Interactive contingency reflects the degree of mother-infant gaze and facial affect attunement or interactive regulation relative to each other. METHOD Sample was composed of 56 healthy mother-infant dyads. All infants were 4 months old, and mean maternal age was 29.61 (SD=3.71). Mother-infant interactions were filmed at the lab. Interactions were coded second-by-second for mother-infant gaze behaviors and facial affect expressions with video microanalysis method. The analysis method was multilevel-multivariate time series analysis. RESULTS According to Model 1-2, mother-infant gaze behaviors and facial affect expressions were neither too stable nor too variable, rather, the change in gaze behaviors and facial affect expressions in each partner showed predictable patterns. Mothers regulated their gaze behaviors and facial affect expressions in relation to that of their infants. Infants regulated their facial affect expressions in relation to their mothers' facial affect expressions, but infant gaze interactive contingency to mother gaze was marginally significant. CONCLUSION In interactions, infants and mothers regulate the rhythms of their own behavior and at the same time contingently coordinate with that of the partner. This bi-directionally regulating environment is the foundation of infants' relationship expectations and bio-socialbehavioral regulation capacity, which may be related to psychopathology in future.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to obtain normative data for Verbal Fluency Test and investigate the effects of age, gender, and education on verbal fluency in native Turkish-speaking individuals. METHOD A pilot study was conducted to determine 3 letters with differing levels of difficulty for completing the phonemic fluency task. First names and animals were chosen for the semantic fluency task, and an alternating semantic task (first name-animal) was also used. In total, 415 participants (208 male and 207 female) were recruited and stratified based on the age and education levels. RESULTS Level of education had a main effect on all verbal fluency tasks; people with higher education performed better. Age and gender were found to have no effect on phonemic verbal fluency. Only the < name production task was affected by gender, women performed better. Younger age groups produced more words in name generation and semantic alternating fluency tasks. CONCLUSION The effects of age, gender and education on verbal fluency are in accordance with many previous reports. Analysis of various errors were also conducted. Results for Turkish are presented and discussed in the light of literature.

OBJECTIVE It was aimed in this study to investigate the effects of group cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) on the body weight, depression, anxiety, quality of life, self-esteem, dietary cognitive distortions and eating behavior of obese and overweight people. METHOD The study was carried out at the Department of Psychiatry, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, between 01.07.2017 and 31.12.2017. The participants attended group CBT sessions once weekly for eight weeks. Reinforcement sessions took place at the 12th and 16th weeks. At the first, 8th, 12th and the 16th weeks, body weights were measured and the participants were asked to complete the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Obese Individuals Specific Quality of Life Scale (OISQLS), the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Diet Related Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DRDAS). RESULTS The group mean age was 41.71±4.46 years, 32 (91.4%) being female. Significant improvements were found in body weight and the scores on the BDI, BAI, DEBQ, OISQLS, DRDAS, and the RSES (p<0.001 for each). The average percent weight loss was 10.2%. The BDI score was the best predictor of the change in body mass index (BMI). CONCLUSION CBT-based group treatments for obese and overweight people are effective in losing weight. Therapy participants with less depression symptoms benefit more from treatment and lose more weight. These results should be re-evaluated in randomized controlled trials.

OBJECTIVE This study has aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children-Short Form (BPFSC-SF-TR) in Turkish adolescents. METHOD The study was carried out with adolescents between the ages of 12-18 from clinical (N=168) and community (N=181) backgrounds. All participants were asked to complete the BPFSC-SF-TR, the Personality Belief Questionaire - Short Form (PBQ-SF), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5- Short Form (PID-5-SF) scales. Also, the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version-Turkish Version (K-SADS-PL-TR) was administered to the participants in the clinical group and their parents were asked to complete the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PEDsQL). Test-retest correlations and the Cronbach's α coefficients were calculated. RESULTS BPFSC-SF-TR scores of both groups of participants positively correlated with the PBQ-BF borderline subscale, the PID-5-SF borderline related facets and the BSI scores, and negatively correlated with the PedsQL in the clinical group. Furthermore, the clinical group had higher total BPFSC-SF-TR scores than the community group, and their scores positively correlated with the number of diagnoses and psychiatric symptoms determined by using the KSADS-PL-TR. Exploratory and multi-group confirmatory factor analyses of the data of both groups supported a single factor structure. The Cronbach's α of the scale was 0.84 in the clinical group, and 0.79 in the community group. The test-retest reliability correlation coefficient of the scale was 0.71. CONCLUSION The BPFSC-SF-TR is a valid and reliable tool for Turkish adolescents.

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate whether the dysfunctional obsessive beliefs are specific to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using three different clinical groups including OCD, depression, and anxiety and a control group of university students. METHOD The participants of the study comprised three patient groups with OCD (n=53), major depressive disorder (MDD, n=67), anxiety disorders (AD, n=73), and a group of university students (n=477). The short version of the Obsessive Belief Questionnaire (OBQ-20) was used to measure obsessive beliefs. The Semi-Structured Clinical Interviews for DSM-IV-TR (SCID-I), the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory- Revised Form, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait Form were used to assess the severity of the symptoms. RESULTS The scores of the three patient groups were significantly higher on the OBQ-20 as compared to the university students. It is noteworthy that the OBQ-20 scores did not significantly differ between the three patient groups except on the 'importance of thought' (ICT) subscale showing significantly higher scores in the group with OCD in comparison to the patients with depression and anxiety disorders. CONCLUSION The results suggest that obsessive beliefs may have a transdiagnostic mechanism with a possible role in the etiology and maintenance of a broad range of different psychopathologies, except in relation to the 'importance and control' of thoughts. Investigating the common processes underlying different psychopathologies is important for the etiological explanation and future treatment of the disorders.

Conversion disorder is defined as the loss or change of motor, sensory, and autonomic nervous system-related functions that cannot be explained completely with organic causes. The etiology of the disease may be explained by psychoanalytic theory, learning theory, sociocultural factors, and some traumatic life events besides genetic and neurobiological factors. The onset is usually between late childhood and early adulthood. The disorder occurs after a high rate of psychosocial stressors and the symptoms can vary. While astasia, as one of the possible complaints in conversion disorder, is defined as not being able to stand due to loss of motor power or sensory loss; abasia is identified as patients having no apparent motor problem but not being able to walk properly. Both conditions can be of organic as well as the psychogenic origin. In this paper, the clinical signs of a seven-year-old boy who was admitted to emergency service of Mersin University Faculty of Medicine with the complaints of astasia and abasia but was found to have conversion disorder is presented.
