    (2022) Sevim, Serhan; Demirkiran, Meltem; Terzi, Murat; Yuceyar, Nur; Tasdelen, Bahar; Idiman, Egemen; Kurtuncu, Murat; Boz, Cavit; Tuncel, Deniz; Karabudak, Rana; Siva, Aksel; Ozcan, Abdulcemal; Neyal, Munife; Goksel Karakurum, Basak; Gazaloglu, Gulcan Baran; Balal, Mehmet; Sen, Sedat; Baklan, Meltem Alkaya; Gunduz, Tuncay; Tuncer, Asli; Uygunoglu, Ugur; 35195221
    Background: Among the comorbidities that accompany multiple sclerosis (MS), restless legs syndrome (RLS) is one of the most common. Anxiety and depression are common psychological comorbidities that impact the quality of life of patients with MS (PwMS), as well as patients with RLS. Objective: To investigate the psychiatric burden of MS and RLS coexistence, we conducted a nationwide, multicenter and cross-sectional survey. Methods: Participants were assessed by using demographic and clinical parameters along with the Hamilton Anxiety and Hamilton Depression Scales (HAM-A and HAM-D). Results: Out of the 1,068 participants, 173 (16.2%) were found to have RLS [RLS(+)] and 895 (83.8%) did not [RLS(-)]. The mean scores for HAM-A and HAM-D were significantly higher among RLS(+) subjects than among RLS(-) subjects (p<0.001 for all variables). Conclusions: According to our data, the presence of RLS in PwMS may increase the occurrence of both anxiety and depression symptoms. Awareness and treatment of RLS in PwMS could possibly reduce the symptoms of psychiatric comorbidities originating from RLS.

    Evaluation of dry eye disease in newly diagnosed anxiety and depression patients using anterior segment optical coherence tomography
    (2019) Ulusoy, Mahmut Oguz; Isik-Ulusoy, Selen; Kivanc, Sertac Argun; 31417939
    Background We aimed to evaluate dry eye diseases (DED) in patients with newly diagnosed depression and anxiety patients. Methods Forty newly diagnosed depression, 35 anxiety patients, and 37 controls without any history of taking psychiatric drugs (or before the beginning of psychiatric medication) and topical ophthalmic drop use, were included in the study. All depression and anxiety diagnoses were performed by an experienced psychiatrist. Beck depression and anxiety tests were used to measure disease severity. Tear film break up time (TBUT), Schirmer's test, Oxford scores and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) were admiinistered to participants. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography was used to measure tear meniscus heights (TMH), tear meniscus depths (TMD) and tear meniscus areas (TMA). Results In anxiety and depression groups, Schirmer's test (mm) (7.24 +/- 6.02, 6.58 +/- 4.9 and 18.79 +/- 4.9 respectively, p < 0.05) and TBUT (s) (5.62 +/- 3.1, 5.6 +/- 3.5 and 13.37 +/- 1.7 respectively, p < 0.05) were significantly lower than control group. In addition, OSDI and Oxford scores were significantly higher than controls. OSDI scores were 28.01 +/- 19, 30.43 +/- 18.49, 14.38 +/- 8.14 respectively (p = 0.002) and Oxford scores were 1.9 +/- 0.7, 2.1 +/- 0.6 and 0.7 +/- 0.4 respectively (p = 0.001). TMD, TMH and TMA values were significantly lower in anxiety and depression groups compared with control groups. Correlations between disease inventory scores and dry eye tests were detected. Conclusions This study showed a relation between DED and newly diagnosed anxiety and depression patients with no history of psychiatric drug use. The presence of correlation between dry eye tests and disease inventory scores strengthens this association. This is an important knowledge that need to be evaluated in these patients before starting psychiatric medication.

    Factors associated with social anxiety disorder in a group of obese Turkish female patients
    (2018) Ozsahin, Akath Kursad; Altintas, Ebru; 0000-0001-8844-3946; 0000-0003-2735-4805; 29714460; AAN-3522-2021; G-8832-2015
    Background/aim: Mental disorders may accompany obesity. This study aims to evaluate the association between social anxiety disorder (SAD) and obesity and the risk factors for SAD in obese female patients. Materials and methods: A total of 114 obese patients and 110 healthy controls were included. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI I-II), and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) were administered to assess anxiety, depression, and social anxiety levels. Scale scores were analyzed statistically. Results: The rate of SAD in obese female patients was found to be 8.8%. Anxiety, depression, and social anxiety levels were significantly higher in the obesity group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). According to linear regression analyses, a significant association between LSAS anxiety level and age, prior surgery, social support, history of being teased, BDI, and BAI was found. Conclusion: The present study shows that many factors are related to obesity and SAD in obese female patients. The clinical implications of these findings should be considered. Interventions for these factors may help prevent SAD in obese female patients.
