Article Synopsis
- There is a link between increased oxidative stress markers and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), suggesting a potential biological basis for the condition.
- The study involved 30 OCD patients and 30 healthy volunteers, comparing oxidative stress markers like NADPH oxidase-2 and -4, and malondialdehyde levels.
- Results showed that OCD patients had significantly higher levels of these markers, along with strong positive correlations between some of the oxidative stress levels, indicating a possible relationship between these biological factors and OCD severity.
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the problematic eating patterns and understand their relationship to psychological constructs, including stress intolerance, coping mechanisms and impulsivity, and psychiatric symptoms among bariatric surgery candidates.
Methods: The bariatric candidates were evaluated by psychiatric interview and standard scales assessing maladaptive eating behaviors (Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), Bulimia Investigatory Test-Edinburgh (BITE), Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ)), depression (Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)), psychiatric symptoms (Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI)), and psychological constructs (Distress Intolerance Index (DSI), Coping Styles Scale (CSS), UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale(UPPS)).
