A comparison of symptom dimensions for obsessive compulsive disorder and obsessive compulsive-related disorders.

Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine obsessive compulsive-related disorders (OCRDs) comorbidity among the patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and compare patients with OCD with or without comorbid OCRDs in terms of the severity of their OCD symptoms, symptom dimensions, and comorbidity with other axis I disorders.

Methods: The study included 90 patients diagnosed as having OCD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for OCRDs were used to determine the presence of OCRDs.

Evaluation of the effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors on bone mineral density: an observational cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: Sixty patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and treated with either paroxetine, sertraline, or citalopram for at least 12 months were enrolled in this study, and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the patients was compared with that of 40 healthy volunteers. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy in generalized anxiety disorder was found to be related with decreased BMD values.

Introduction: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of SSRI therapy on BMD in postmenopausal women diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and to identify the effects of the duration of disease and treatment on risk factors for osteoporosis.

The Effects of Prolactin-Raising and Prolactin-Sparing Antipsychotics on Prolactin Levels and Bone Mineral Density in Schizophrenic Patients.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effects of antipsychotics on prolactin levels in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and the effects of hyperprolactinemia on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients on long-term antipsychotics.

Method: In this study, we included eighty consecutive patients who were diagnosed with schizophrenia according to DSM-IV, had been using the same antipsychotic for the last ten months, and fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data on sociodemographic characteristics of the patients were collected through an information sheet.

Responsibility, thought-action fusion, and thought suppression in Turkish patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Although an inflated sense of responsibility, thought-action fusion, and thought suppression are influential factors in cognitive models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), their impact on OCD has generally been demonstrated in samples from Western countries. The aim of the present study is to evaluate these cognitive factors in Turkish patients with OCD, other anxiety disorders, and community controls. Group comparisons showed that responsibility based on self-dangerousness and thought suppression significantly distinguished OCD patients from patients with other anxiety disorders and controls.
