- Impairments in facial emotion recognition are linked to challenges in emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties in individuals with mental disorders, particularly in those with eating disorders (EDs).
- A study involving 308 adult women assessed how well different groups (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, healthy controls, and mixed mental disorders) could recognize basic facial emotions using a computerized task that measured their recognition thresholds.
- Results showed that all groups recognized happiness and fear similarly, with only some differences in recognizing disgust, indicating that while basic recognition abilities are intact, issues like misinterpretation may affect emotional regulation in those with EDs.
Objective: Ullrich-Turner Syndrome (UTS; Turner Syndrome (TS)) is a X-chromosomal disorder, which is characterized by a variety and heterogenous clinical conditions. Although it is not typically associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, several case reports describe concomitant TS and neuropsychiatric abnormalities that may represent a pathogenetic link.
Methods: Based on the case representation of woman with TS and co-occurrent schizoaffective disorder we discuss possible relationships and current literature.
