Objective: The relationship between psychiatric disorders and nicotine use has been studied in recent years. In this study, the comorbidity between psychiatric disorders and nicotine dependence (ND) and nicotine abstinence (NA) was evaluated in a randomly selected group of university students.
Method: We used the 12-month version of CIDI 2.1 (Composite International Diagnostic Interview) for the interviews of a total of 323 students (M/F: 168/155), who were randomly selected among and represented all students in Selçuk University. The mean age of students was 20.9 (SD: 5.4, range: 16-34). ND, NA and other psychiatric disorders were diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria.
Results: One-year prevalence of ND and NA was 17% (n=55) and 4% (n=13), respectively among the 323 students interviewed. The prevalence of any psychiatric disorders other than ND and NA was 26.3% (n=85). Students who had psychiatric disorders had a higher relative risk than those who did not have psychiatric disorders (30.6% versus 12.2%, odds ratio: 3.2, 95% CI 1.7-5.8; p<0.001). ND was also observed more commonly in students who were diagnosed with any of these disorders than in those free of these disorders: alcohol dependence or abuse (72.7% versus 15.1%), any mood disorder (36.0% versus 15.4%) and any anxiety disorder (29.3% versus 13.9%).
Conclusion: This study suggests that ND in young adults is associated with a higher rate of psychiatric disorders.

Objectives: Biphasic sinusoidal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Recent advances suggest that standard rTMS may be improved by altering the pulse shape; however, there is a paucity of research investigating pulse shape, owing primarily to the technologic limitations of currently available devices. This pilot study examined the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of biphasic and monophasic rectangular rTMS for TRD.

The COVID-19 outbreak, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was linked to significant neurological and psychiatric manifestations. This review examines the physiopathological mechanisms underlying these neuropsychiatric outcomes and discusses current management strategies. Primarily a respiratory disease, COVID-19 frequently leads to neurological issues, including cephalalgia and migraines, loss of sensory perception, cerebrovascular accidents, and neurological impairment such as encephalopathy.

Some previous studies have focused on using physiological signals to detect stress in individuals with ASD through wearable devices, yet few have focused on how to design such solutions. Wearable technology may be a valuable tool to aid parents and caregivers in monitoring the emotional states of individuals with ASD who are at high risk of experiencing very stressful situations. However, effective wearable devices for individuals with ASD may need to differ from solutions for those without ASD.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication. While many studies suggest that individuals with ASD struggle with emotion processing, the association between emotion processing and autistic traits in non-clinical populations is still unclear. We examine whether neurotypical adults' facial emotion recognition and expression imitation are associated with autistic traits.
