A clinical follow-up study of dialectical behavior therapy skills groups among female adolescents diagnosed with depressive disorder.

Our aim was to evaluate longitudinal data for adolescents who were treated with Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT) skills groups having been previously diagnosed with depressive disorder. Intervention with an observational cross-sectional design was implemented to evaluate the treatment outcome of a 10-week DBT skills groups with female adolescents with depression.

Objective: Substance use disorder (SUD) is a serious public health problem affecting both the individual and the society, and substance use-related deaths and disability have been shown to increase gradually. Recent etiologic studies have reported that there is a relation between inflammatory parameters and psychiatric disorders. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) used as an indicator of inflammation have been shown to be increased in various psychiatric disorders.

Prevalence and correlates of hoarding behavior and hoarding disorder in children and adolescents.

Although hoarding symptoms are reported to begin in childhood and adolescence, the true prevalence of the disorder in this age group is unknown. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of hoarding disorder (HD) in children and adolescents. The present study was planned as a two-stage epidemiological research.

Evaluation of hematological inflammatory markers in children and adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Aim: This study aims to investigate whether there is a relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and inflammation, using hematologic inflammatory parameters in a large sample of children and adolescents.

Do we need to re-think on subthreshold childhood psychiatric cases? A follow-up study.

A remarkable number of children all over the world have psychiatric disorders, which cause severe impairments in functionality. In the development of future mental health planning, not only determining epidemiological data is sufficient, but also follow-up studies are needed. This study aimed to determine the course of subthreshold psychiatric disorders in three-year follow-up process, and whether there is a relationship between sociodemographic factors, parental attitudes and SDQ scores and the escalating escalation from SPD to psychopathology or the disappearance of SPD symptoms.

The prevalence of childhood mental disorders in different habitations: are we underestimating their prevalence in rural areas?

Recently, the number of epidemiological studies of child psychiatry has increased, but most of these studies focus on children living in city centres. Unfortunately, one-third of the global population lives in rural areas, and various habitations exist in cities, including city centres and slums. Moreover, despite having a high risk for psychopathology development, individuals who have symptoms but fall outside the limits specified for diagnoses due to having fewer symptoms than those mentioned in diagnostic systems and individuals who do not fulfil the impairment criteria listed in diagnostic systems are not addressed in these studies.
