    Is postpartum depression a specific diagnosis? A prospective study
    (2012-03-01T00:00:00Z) Kirpinar, Ismet; TEPELI, Isik Ozturk; GÖZÜM, SEBAHAT; Pasinlioglu, Turkan; KIRPINAR, İSMET
    Objective: 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)

    Neuropsychiatric disorders and risk factors in carbon monoxide intoxication
    (2011-06-01T00:00:00Z) KATIRCI, Yavuz; Kandis, Hayati; Aslan, Sahin; Kirpinar, Ismet; KIRPINAR, İSMET
    Neuropsychiatric 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.

    Is there a relationship between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and manic symptoms among children with mental retardation of unknown etiology?
    (2011-11-01T00:00:00Z) Fidan, Tulin; Kirpinar, Ismet; ORAL, Meltem; Kocak, Kubra; KIRPINAR, İSMET
    Mental retardation (MR) is common and lifelong. In children and adolescents with MR, the rate of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder is higher than that in the general population. However, there are no previous sufficient data that exist in establishing a relationship between ADHD and manic symptoms. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between manic symptoms and ADHD as well as oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) in children with MR of unknown etiology (MR-UE).

    The psychiatric assessment schedule for adults with developmental disability checklist: reliability and validity of Turkish version
    (2017-01-01) GORMEZ, Aynur; Kirpinar, Ismet; KIRPINAR, İSMET
    Aim/background: There is a lack of psychometric instruments to measure psychopathology in people with intellectual disabilities (ID). This may lead to underdiagnosis of treatable psychiatric comorbidities in this population. Psychiatric assessment schedule for adults with developmental disabilities (PAS-ADD) Checklist was developed as a screening tool designed for lay people. The PAS-ADD Checklist was created in English and was later on validated for other languages, including French and German. There is no psychometric measure available in Turkish to screen for or detect psychiatric symptoms in adults with ID. The aim of the present study was to present a psychometric evidence of the Turkish language version of the PAS-ADD Checklist. This is the first study aiming to present and validate a psychiatric screening instrument for adults with ID in Turkey.

    Frontal lobe syndrome due to olfactory groove meningioma: a literature review

    Behavioral 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.

    Relationship of Asymmetrical Dimethylarginine, Nitric Oxide, and Sustained Attention during Attack in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
    (2014-01-01) CANPOLAT, Serpil; Kirpinar, Ismet; Deveci, ERDEM; Aksoy, Hulya; BAYRAKTUTAN, Zafer; EREN, Ibrahim; Demir, Recep; Selek, Salih; Aydin, Nazan; KIRPINAR, İSMET; DEVECİ, ERDEM
    Abstract We investigated the relationship of serum nitric oxide (NO) and asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels with cognitive functioning in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). 41 MDD patients (Beck depression scale scores>16) and 44 controls were included in the study. Rey verbal learning and memory test, auditory consonant trigram test, digit span test, Wisconsin card sorting test, continuous performance task (TOVA), and Stroop test scores were found to be impaired in patients with major depressive disorder when compared to healthy controls. There was no significant difference between patient and control groups in terms of serum NO and ADMA. Serum NO levels were correlated with TOVA test error scores and Stroop test time scores, whereas serum ADMA levels were negatively correlated with TOVA test error scores. Metabolic detriments especially in relation to NO metabolism in frontal cortex and hypothalamus, psychomotor retardation, or loss of motivation may explain these deficits.
