Minor physical anomalies may be related to treatment resistance in patients with schizophrenia.

This study investigates the relationship between minor physical anomalies (MPA) and treatment resistance in schizophrenia (TRS). We evaluated 137 patients and 100 healthy controls by using a modified Waldrup MPA scale. Thirteen MPA items were found more frequently in the schizophrenia group than in the controls.

Social Cognition and Functioning in Patients With Social Anxiety Disorder and/or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

In recent years, social cognition and one of its dimensions, the theory of mind, have been more commonly investigated in patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this study, SAD, ADHD, comorbid SAD-ADHD, and healthy control (HC) groups, each consisting of 30 participants, were included and compared in terms of social cognition and functionality. Mean global functioning assessment scores were found to be significantly higher in the HC group compared with the other three groups and in the ADHD group compared with the SAD and SAD-ADHD groups.
