Evaluation of retinal thickness measured by optical coherence tomography in patients with generalized anxiety disorder.

Purpose: To compare the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, macular thickness, ganglion cell layer thickness, and inner plexiform layer thickness determined by Optic Coherence Tomography in the patient group diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder who did not receive any psychiatric medication with the healthy control group.

Methods: Forty newly diagnosed, drug-free Generalized Anxiety Disorder patients and 43 healthy age- and gender-matched control subjects were included in the study. Macular thickness, ganglion cell layer thickness, inner plexiform layer thickness, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness were measured using optical coherence tomography.

The Relationship Between Alexithymia and Impulsiveness in Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.

Objective: It has been emphasised recently that emotion regulation problems may be the core symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of alexithymia, the relationship between alexithymia and impulsiveness, the severity of ADHD, depression and anxiety semptoms in adult ADHD.

Method: All participants were assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview For DSM IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I); and completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), the Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self Reporting Scale (ASRS) and the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS).

The illness is one of the most researched psychiatric disorders from past to present. This study aims to provide a holistic summary of the global scientific outputs through bibliometric analyses and reveal the trend topics.

Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and early maladaptive schemas.

The purpose of the current study is to present the early maladaptive schemas in adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study sample comprised 107 participants, including 55 adult ADHD and 52 healthy volunteers. The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 32 years.

[Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy on a Patient with Schizophrenia and Clinical Effects: A Case Study].

Being exposed to traumatic experiences is rather common in patients with schizophrenia. Adverse experiences may induce the onset of psychotic symptoms or trigger current symptoms to be exacerbated. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective therapy in the treatment of incidences with underlying traumatic experiences, there by it can be conducted on various cases in addition to other treatments such as psycho-medication or another therapy method.
