Background And Objective: The Mild Behavioral Impairment-Checklist (MBI-C) was developed to detect and standardize neuropsychiatric symptoms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability of the MBI-C.
Methods: The sample of our study consisted of 80 patients with cognitive impairment and a control group with 113 participants whose cognitive impairment was not detected in standard tests.
Objective: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are associated with high alexithymia, social cognition problems and low quality of life (QoL). Theory of Mind (ToM) has been studied in several conditions as a significant predictor of QoL. We aimed to assess the relationship between ToM abilities, alexithymia and subjective QoL in PNES patients and compare with generalised epilepsy (ES) patients and healthy controls.

- - This study examined the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in 94 patients with keratoconus, finding that 37.2% had a psychiatric diagnosis, with notable levels of moderate-severe depression (13.8%) and anxiety (21.2%).
- - The research highlighted a correlation between the severity of keratoconus and the likelihood of psychiatric disorders, with more severe cases linked to worse mental health outcomes.
