Many case reports have demonstrated that using antidepressants and especially the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and the noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepresants mirtazapine and mianserin can lead to restless legs syndrome (RLS). However, there are disagreements in the results of the limited number of investigations on the relationship of RLS with antidepressants. Trazodone is a frequently used antidepressant with complex agonistic/antagonistic effects on the serotonergic system and moderate blockage on the histamine receptor. This report dicusses the case of a 39-year old female patient who developed RLS after using trazodone (100mg/day) prescribed by her pscyhiatrist for treating her insomnia complaints. We have learned from the patient's statement that she felt burning, tingling and restlessness in her legs, that started from the first night of the treatment and caused an urge to move her legs. The effects were attributed to trazodone and the treatment was discontinued. The patient reported at her control examination the disappearance of RLS symptoms one day after discontinuing trazodone use and the complete improvement of her insomnia complaints.

OBJECTIVE Resilience in schizophrenia has been associated with multiple clinical variables that, to the best of our knowledge, do not include impulsiveness, aggression and also personality and insight with possible influences, which remain as poorly investigated topics. This study investigated the relationships of resilience with depression, aggression, impulsivity, personality and insight in order to assess the factors that explain resilience in schizophrenia. METHOD The study included 139 individuals with clinically stable schizophrenia. Data were acquired by means of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), the Schedule for Assessment of Insight (SAI), the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated (EPQR-A), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, 11th version (BIS-11) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Correlations of the scores of the RSA with the scores of the other psychometric scales and the demographic and clinical data were evaluated. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors predicting resilience. RESULTS The PANSS total and general psychopathology scores and scale scores on depression, impulsiveness and aggression were negatively correlated with resilience scores. Attentional impulsiveness, neuroticism and depression predicted low levels of resilience. There were no significant correlations between insight and the total or subdimension scores of resilience except for the subdimension structural style. CONCLUSION Treatments focusing only on clinical remission in schizophrenia are not sufficiently effective. Interventions for enhancing resilience in schizophrenia should consider depressive symptoms, attentional impulsivity and personality traits such as neuroticism.

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to adapt the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5-ClinicianVersion into Turkish and to demonstrate its reliability. METHOD: A total of 185 patients, both inpatient and outpatient, from two different university hospitals were included. Training sessions on the features and use of SCID-5/CV were held before the data collection. During the study, in order to test the diagnostic agreement and accuracy, two psychiatrists remained present at the evaluation of each participant; alternatively being interviewer and the observer. Cohen's kappa coefficient for inter-rater reliability was calculated for every diagnostic category. RESULTS: The patient group had a mean age of 37.2 (±13.5) years and 55.7% were female. The education status was as follows: 2.7% were illiterate, 1.7% literate with no primary education, 33% had primary education, 23.8% had secondary education and 38.9% had higher education. The calculated kappa value showed excellent agreement for schizophrenia (κ=0.93), bipolar disorder (κ=0.96), major depressive disorder (κ=0.89), dysthymic disorder (κ=0.82), alcohol use disorder (κ=0.96), panic disorder (κ=0.84), agoraphobia (κ=0.85), social anxiety disorder (κ=0.95), generalized anxiety disorder (κ=0.89), obsessive compulsive disorder (κ=0.87), posttraumatic stress disorder (κ=0.89), adult attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (κ=1.00), specific phobias (κ=0.82) and very good agreement with adjustment disorder (κ=0.78) and somatic symptom disorder (κ=0.65). CONCLUSION: Similar to the past SCID versions, kappa values were found to be quite high and all were statistically significant. The Turkish version of SCID-5/ CV can be reliably used in both clinical practice and clinical studies.

OBJECTIVE The increase in the circulatory cytokine levels observed in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) may imply involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of mood disorders. However, the association between the inflammatory process and the stage and severity of illness is not well understood. In this study, our aim was to investigate the association between neuroinflammation and disease progression in the clinical course of BD. METHOD IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), neuronspecific enolase (NSE) and S100B were measured by ELISA in plasma samples of patients at early-stage BD (n=30), chronic BD (n=77) and healthy controls (n=30). RESULTS Chronic BD patients showed significantly increased levels of all measured inflammatory markers as compared to early-stage BD patients and the healthy controls. IL-6 and IL-1RA levels correlated with NSE and/or S100B levels and TNF-α levels correlated with Montgomery- Asberg Depression Rating Scale scores and Clinical Global Impression Scale scores. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that inflammation appears to be particularly associated with IL-1RA and IL-6 activity, progressing at later stages of BD and possibly associated with gliosis and neuronal loss.

OBJECTIVE We planned to compare individuals with alcohol dependence (AD) and healthy controls on the frequency of NOS1 exon 1f-VNTR gene polymorphism and to investigate the effects of this polymorphism on the clinical symptoms of alcohol dependence, impulsiveness and comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. METHOD A total of 282 participants consisting of 153 patients and 129 age and gender matched healthy individuals were inluded in the study. All participants were evaluated with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis 1 disorders (SCID-I) and Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale, Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Diagnosis Scale (ADHDS), Family History Research Diagnostic Criteria (FHDRC). The QF-PCR fragment protocols were used for genetic analyses. Allele fragments of ≤176 bp and >176 bp sizes were separated and 3 different genotypes were determined as the SS, SL and LL. Associations of these genotypes with symptoms of AD severity, impulsiveness and comorbid ADHD were investigated. RESULTS The AD and control groups did not differ significantly on the basis of NOS1 exon 1f-VNTR gene polymorphism. Also, significant correlations between this polymorphism and symptoms of AD severity, impulsiveness and ADHD were not determined. CONCLUSION Results of our study do not indicatea significant association between the NOS1 exon 1f-VNTR genotypes and AD, subgroups of AD, impulsiveness or comorbid ADHD semptoms.

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder and previous knowledge of emergency management, sense of control over the stressor, perceived threat, and somatic symptoms in earthquake and fire survivors.. METHOD The data were obtained from the 2009-database of the Izmir Province Fire Department to include the people who had experienced domestic fire (n=92), from the people who had applied to the Health Group Directory after the 2005 earthquake in Seferihisar (n=38) and from the staff of a third step hospital who experienced a fire in public building in 2010 (n=34). The Impact of Events Scale-revised version (IES-R) was used to determine the traumatic stress levels of the participants; and the Behavior, Security, and Culture - Survivor (BeSeCu- S) questionnaire was used to acquire information on factors before and after the traumatic events. RESULTS Compared to the fire survivors, the earthquake survivors perceived higher levels of threat and lower levels of control during the event gender, perceived threat, somatic symptoms experienced during the event and perceived control over the event were found to predict the post-traumatic stress disorder. CONCLUSION Results of the research suggested that control-focused treatment METHODS could be effective in treatment of people who had experienced earthquake and fire. It is observed that informing the public about emergency management would be protective for mental health by increasing the sense of control of the individuals at the time of the incident. On the other hand, the positive relationship between PTSD and previous knowledge on emergency suggests that the ringing alarms and practice errors during the fire and earthquake drills could traumatize people. Future research is recommended on the relationship between information processing, somatic symptoms and emotional processes in individuals during earthquake, fire and their drills.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine whether night eating, emotional eating, eating concerns, depression, and some demographic characteristics are associated with the weight regain observed after bariatric surgery. METHOD: The study group consisted of 117 adults with an age range of 21 to 56 years, residing at different cities of Turkey. The participants were assessed at the post-operative 12th- 98th months with Night Eating Questionnaire, Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire-Emotional Eating Subscale, Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Eating Concern Subscale of Eating Disorder Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. Mann Whitney U Test, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Hierarchical Multiple Linear Regression were used for data analyses. RESULTS: Post-operatively, 13.7% of participants regained weight. The results displayed that depression, night eating, emotional eating and eating concern scores were higher in the participants who regained weight. Being married, emotional eating and time elapsed after the surgery positively, while knowledge on the amount of daily nutrients needed negatively predicted weight regain. CONCLUSION: Some demographic and psychological factors may affect the weight regain observed after bariatric surgeries. This study is the first in this field in Turkey, and longitudinal studies are needed. A long term multidisciplinary follow-up protocol is recommended for successful treatment of obesity.

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Internet Gaming Disorder Questionnaire. METHOD The Experimental Sample of this study included 1161 students aged between 10 and 18 from four different schools. Language equivalence study of the questionnaire was conducted by two experts one of whose native language was English and fluent in Turkish, and the other, vice versa. Reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by Test-retest method and Cronbach's alpha internal consistency analysis. Construct validity of the questionnaire was examined by confirmatory factor analysis. SPSS and -MPLUS 6.1- softwares were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS Cronbach's alpha coefficient for internal consistency was 0.86. Total score correlations varied between 0.23 and 0.70 (p<0.01). Test-retest score averages did not differ for both the total and subgroup scores. Test-retest correlation was calculated as 0.865 (p<0.01). Confirmatory factor analyses for construct validity showed that factor loadings of items varied between 0.165 and 0.785. Cut-off score of the questionnaire was determined as 69 after Cluster analyses and ROC analyses. CONCLUSION This study concluded that the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Internet Gaming Disorder Questionnaire developed by Pontes et al. were satisfactory.
