- PublicationMetadata onlyTemperament and Character Traits in Patients With Epilepsy Epileptic Personality(2013-05-01) YAZICI, Esra; YAZICI, Ahmet Bulent; Aydin, Nazan; Orhan, Asuman; Kirpinar, Ismet; Acemoglu, Hamit; KIRPINAR, İSMETPersonality and behavioral changes in epilepsy are well documented. However, neither the quantitative characteristics nor the etiology of these changes is clear yet. Cloninger has developed a psychobiological personality model that provides a way to evaluate personality in a dimensional way. This study examined the relationship between epilepsy and Cloninger-s dimensional psychobiological personality model. A total of 73 epilepsy outpatients and 79 healthy controls were examined using the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Axis I Disorders, the Turkish version of the Temperament and Character Inventory, and an epilepsy questionnaire. Epilepsy patients had higher harm avoidance ( HA) and lower persistence, self-directedness (SD), and cooperativeness scores than healthy controls did. In epileptic subjects, there was no correlation between age and duration of epilepsy. Subjects with partial seizures had higher HA scores and lower SD scores than generalized ones. Comorbid depression was represented with lower SD scores. In multiple linear regression models, only major depressive disorder predicted lower scores of SD. This study confirms specific personality changes among epileptics according to Cloninger-s dimensional personality model and indicates a relationship between the characteristics of epilepsy and psychiatric comorbidity.
- PublicationMetadata onlyIs postpartum depression a specific diagnosis? A prospective study(2012-03-01T00:00:00Z) Kirpinar, Ismet; TEPELI, Isik Ozturk; GÖZÜM, SEBAHAT; Pasinlioglu, Turkan; KIRPINAR, İSMETObjective: The studies investigating the prevalence and incidence of postpartum depression (PPD), as well as its nosologic status have controversial results. This article is part of a prospective, epidemiological study concerning postpartum depression in Erzurum City, Eastern Turkey. The present study focuses on the prevalence and incidence of PPD at sixth weeks after delivery and its diagnostic distribution according to DSM-IV. Methods: Four hundred and seventy-nine pregnant women in their third trimester were arranged to be visited by trained community midwives at 7-10 days and sixth weeks after delivery. Data were collected by use of the questionnaires on detailed sociodemographic and health information at each visit and the participitants filled out the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) at six weeks after delivery. Finally, mothers who had PPD diagnosis according to EPDS were visited by a psychiatrist in their homes where the SCID was administered to make a DSM-IV diagnosis and determine whether the depression occurred before or after delivery. Results: The prevalence rate of PPD measured by EPDS was 14% in this population. The incidence of PPD was estimated as 6% with clinical interviews. Most of the depressed mothers (74.0%) were diagnosed as major depressive disorder according to DSM-IV, but there were some other depressive states too. Conclusion: The prevalence and incidence rates of PPD do not appear to be significantly different from those of non-childbearing women. PPD should not be seen as a specific clinical entity as far as its diagnostic distribution is concerned. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry 2012;13:16-23)

- PublicationMetadata onlyNeuropsychiatric disorders and risk factors in carbon monoxide intoxication(2011-06-01T00:00:00Z) KATIRCI, Yavuz; Kandis, Hayati; Aslan, Sahin; Kirpinar, Ismet; KIRPINAR, İSMETNeuropsychiatric sequelae may be observed in the late phases of carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication. Establishing a link between CO-related neuropsychiatric disorders and associated risk factors may decrease morbidity and mortality by means of appropriate treatment and counseling. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between neuropsychiatric outcomes of CO intoxication and demographic and clinical variables. Thirty patients who presented with CO intoxication and had no known neuropsychiatric disease, and 30 healthy controls were included. Physical examinations and laboratory tests were performed. Following the 1st therapy, they underwent mental and psychiatric tests 5 times (the time of discharge, during the 1st week, and during the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months). They underwent cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the end of the 1st month. They were evaluated by cognitive function tests at the 6th month. Lesions relevant to CO intoxication were detected in 46.7% of the patients via cranial computed tomography and in 13.3% via MRI. Evaluation of psychiatric tests revealed a clear decrease in cognitive functions, such as immediate memory, learning, reaching the criterion, spontaneous recall, attention, visual memory, and logical memory. It was found that the patients had anxiety within the 1st month, and the frequency of anxiety reached to the value of the control group by the end of the 6th month. In conclusion, we suggested that CO intoxication might lead to neuropsychiatric disorders. Our results emphasized that in addition to standard treatment, neuropsychiatric evaluation should also be performed in patients with CO intoxication.
- PublicationMetadata onlyDepression at the early phase of first myocardial infarction(2012-09-01) Deveci, ERDEM; Ozan, Erol; Gulec, Mustafa; Kirpinar, Ismet; DEVECİ, ERDEM; KIRPINAR, İSMETObjective: To assess clinical depression and severity of depression symptoms early after a first acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: Data was collected with a structured questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The questionnaire was applied to the 100 patients, who had suffered from first MI, after they were transferred to the ward from the coronary intensive care unit. Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.4 +/- 9.9 years, of whom 86.0% were male and 95.0% were married. The mean education duration was 4.6 +/- 4.1 years; the rate of illiterate and literate patients was 34.0% and the rate of patients graduated from primary school was 42.0%. Forty-seven percent of patients had a previous concomitant physical disease. Forty-three percent patients obtained a BDI score lower than 10, while 31.0% had a score of >= 17. A positive significant, but weak correlation was observed between BDI scores and age. The rate of patients with clinical depression (BDI score >= 17) was significantly higher in females as compared to males (64.3% and 25.6%, respectively, p<0.05). Conclusions: The diagnosis of post-MI depression may be difficult because of the non-specific complaints. Female gender was found to be a significant independent variable predicting the presence of depression symptoms and severity during the post-MI period. It would be beneficial to routinely investigate the presence and intensity of depression symptoms after MI. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry 2012; 13:179-183)
- PublicationMetadata onlyFrontal lobe syndrome due to olfactory groove meningioma: a literature review(2010-09-01T00:00:00Z) Ozan, Erol; Deveci, ERDEM; Kirpinar, Ismet; TEHLI, Ozkan; DEVECİ, ERDEM; KIRPINAR, İSMETBehavioral syndromes observed with frontal lobe injury involve lesions of the circuits, connecting the frontal lobe to subcortical structures. Dorsolateral prefrontal circuit lesions result in executive function deficits, orbitofrontal circuit lesions result in disinhibition and impulsivity, and abulia (apathy and amotivation) occur with injury to the anterior cingulate circuit. Thirty-nine years-old female patient was evaluated in our outpaient clinic due to experiencing anosmia for the past two years and headache which appeared a few months after this complaint. In addition to these complaints, the patient reported apathy, anhedonia, lack of energy, inability to perform household chores and increased sleep need for the past 1.5 years. Lately, the patient also reported having blurred vision and had an incidence of urinary incontinence during sleep. The clinical presentation was compatible with anterior cingulate syndrome due to a large olfactory groove meningioma. Depending on the data, we were motivated to review the frontal lobe syndrome and meningiomas, especially the ones originating from the olfactory groove.

- PublicationMetadata onlyThe relationship between nine types temperament model with psychobiological personality model and affective temperament model(2015-04-01) YILMAZ, Enver Demirel; GENCER, Gorkem; UNAL, Ozge; OREK, Alp; Aydemir, Omer; Deveci, ERDEM; Kirpinar, Ismet; DEVECİ, ERDEM; KIRPINAR, İSMETObjective: This study aims to determine Nine Types Temperament Model (NTTM), which is a new temperament model, with Psychobiological Personality Model (PPM) and Affective Temperament Model (ATM) and define the possible relations between categories and dimensions and their degrees of predicting each other. Methods: The sample group consists of 206 healthy volunteers who did not receive any psychiatric treatment in their life and do not have any chronic disease. Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I), Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R personality disorders (SCID-II), Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire Version (TEMPS-A) and Nine Type Temperament Scale (NTTS) were used to collect data. Results: Except for NTM3, NTM8 and NTM9 temperament categories, all NTTS categories have significant correlation with various TCI dimensions at a level r=0.40 and above. Except for NTM1, NTM5 and NTM9 temperament categories, all NTTS categories have significant correlation with various TEMPS-A categories at a level r=0.40 and above. According to the results of regression analyses, it is found that TCI dimensions and TEMPS-A categories can explain 29-63% of variance of NTTS temperament categories. Conclusion: This study indicates that although there are consistent and significant correlations between dimensions and categories of NTTS and the two scales widely used in psychiatry, there are conceptual differences between NTTM, PPM and ATM and temperament categories of NTTM have unique features.
- PublicationMetadata onlyReliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Health Anxiety Inventory(2013-01-01) Aydemir, Omer; Kirpinar, Ismet; Sati, Tulay; Uykur, Burak; Cengisiz, Cengiz; KIRPINAR, İSMETIntroduction: Health anxiety is seen in the clinical presentation of both somatoform disorders, especially hypochondriasis and anxiety disorders. In this study, we aimed to perform the reliability and validity analyses of the Turkish version of the Health Anxiety Inventory which is used in the assessment of health anxiety.
- PublicationMetadata onlyNeurocognitive functioning in a group of offspring genetically at high-risk for schizophrenia in Eastern Turkey(2010-05-31T00:00:00Z) Ozan, Erol; Deveci, ERDEM; ORAL, Meltem; Karahan, Utku; Oral, Elif; Aydin, Nazan; Kirpinar, Ismet; DEVECİ, ERDEM; KIRPINAR, İSMETWe assessed major cognitive domains in symptom-free children of patients with schizophrenia compared to the healthy children of parents with no psychopathology using neurocognitive tests. We hypothesized that, offspring at high-risk for schizophrenia would have significant impairment in major domains: attention, memory, verbal-linguistic ability and executive functions. Thirty symptom-free children (17-males, 13-females: intelligence quotient = 99.6 +/- 13.6: age = 12.69 +/- 2.32 and education = 5.8 +/- 2.3 years) having a parent diagnosed with schizophrenia and 37 healthy children matched for gender (19-males, 18-females), IQ (106.05 +/- 14.70), age (12.48 +/- 2.58) and years of education (6.0 +/- 2.5) were evaluated. The study group showed significant poor performance in cognitive domains, such as working memory (assessed with Auditory consonant trigram test), focused attention (Stroop test), attention speed (Trail making test), divided attention (Auditory consonant trigram test), executive functions (Wisconsin card sorting test), verbal fluency (Controlled word association test) and declarative memory (Rey verbal learning and Short-term memory test). However, no group differences were detected either on verbal attention (Digit span forward test) or sustained attention (TOVA, a continuous performance task): the latter as consistently reported to be a predictor of schizophrenia. In order to determine the cognitive endophenotype of schizophrenia, it seems more rational to conduct comprehensive evaluation of neurocognitive domains in well-matched groups via using sufficiently challenging tests to detect slight deficits. In addition, longitudinal studies with a larger sample size evaluating neurocognitive functions combined with genetic analysis may provide clues about explaining the genetic background of the disorder within the endophenocognitype concept and serve as new targets for early interventions.
