    Psychological factors and adverse childhood events at an early age have been poorly investigated in relation to risky eating behavior and obesity. The importance of this relationship grows as these behaviors are becoming public health problems. The main objective of the present study was to examine the effects of interrelated psychological factors such as childhood negative life events, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and impulsivity on eating behaviors in a university student sample in Turkey. A total of 414 undergraduate students (60.4% women) in Turkey, completed the Turkish versions of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) to assess emotional eating and external eating and the CDC-Kaiser Permanent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BSI-11). Structural equation models (SEM) were used to evaluate whether depressive/anxiety symptoms could be a mediator between impulsivity and emotional eating/external eating. Childhood adverse events were both weakly correlated with eating behavior and impulsivity measures (r = .18,r = .275, p <.001, respectively). Depression and anxiety levels were found to be significantly associated with all variables except for the body mass index (BMI; r = .121-.395, p <.001). Body mass index (BMI) was also significantly correlated with emotional eating (r = .231, p <.001) and restrained eating (r = .226, p <.001). Impulsivity was positively and directly associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression and emotional and external eating (respectively 0 = .27, p <.001; 0 = .31, p <.001; 0 = .16, p = .006; 0 = .13, p = .047). The effect of adverse experiences on both emotional eating (0 = .147; 95% CI [.087, .247]) and external eating (0 = .091; 95% CI [.032, .168]) was found to be partially mediated by impulsivity and symptoms of anxiety and depression. The results supported the proposition that symptoms of depression and anxiety levels are mediators between impulsivity and emotional eating/ external eating. This finding suggests that a through psychological assessment should be taken into consideration when evaluating the eating behavior of university students and prevention and treatment strategies applied for disordered eating behaviors in the future.

    Depression and quality of life in hemodialysis andpredialysis patients in a sample from Turkey
    (2016-01-01) SAYAR, MUSTAFA KEMAL; YANARTAŞ, ÖMER; DADALI Z., SAYAR M. K. , HARMANKAYA N. Ö. , YANARTAŞ Ö., Türkcan A., AKIN E., Köse S.
    In this study, we aimed to examine the quality of life, depression, and anxiety in chronic renal failure at the predialysis and hemodialysis stage and groups, to show that depression anxiety start prior to dialysis, and to explore the impact of depression and anxiety on the quality of life of these patients. We included 49 hemodialysis and 50 predialysis (stage IV chronic kidney failure) patients who were followed up at the Bakırkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital‘s Dialysis Unit and Nephrology Outpatient Clinic. Sociodemographic data were obtained from all patients in addition to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results: No significant differences were found in terms of sociodemographic characteristics of two study groups. No significant differences were found in terms of HADS scores of two study groups SF-36 scores were not significantly different except for pain and physical function subscale scores. Quality of life component scores were found significantly lower in depression risk group based on HADS scores, regardless of renal failure stages. Our findings revealed that the quality of life levels were similar in both predialysis and dialysis patients. Depression and anxiety were determinant of quality of life, regardless of the stage of the kidney disease. Since the quality of life in patients with chronic renal failure was considered to be an important factor that determines mortality and morbidity, the treatment of depression at all stages of the illness is gaining importance. Psychiatric examination, psychoeducation and treatment of depression and anxiety symptoms would facilitate psychosocial adjustment and improve patient‘s coping skills prior to developing end-stage renal failure and lower the mortality and morbidity rates in these patients.

    Schneider belirtiler ve DSM 5: ilişkili iki olgu sunumu
    (2017-01-01) YANARTAŞ, ÖMER; HİCRİ, NURŞİN; GÜRSOY, SÜHA CAN; SAYAR, MUSTAFA KEMAL; YANARTAŞ Ö., Ergün S., AKÇA E., HİCRİ N., GÜRSOY S. C. , SAYAR M. K.
    Geçmişte psikotik bozukluklarda daha yaygın olduğu düşünülen Schneider tarafından tanımlanan belirtiler (STTB) son dönemde yapılan çalışmalarda dissosiyatif bozukluk ve bipolar afektif bozukluk gibi diğer bazı psikiyatrik bozukluklarda da gösterilmiştir. Bunun sonucu olarak da DSM 5’te STTB’e şizofreni tanısındaki özellikli atıf tanı sisteminden kaldırılmıştır. Biz bu çalışmada STTB’i olan iki vakayı sunmayı amaçlıyoruz. Sunulan olgularda STTB’e ilave olarak amnezi ve füg belirtilerinin varlığı ve bu belirtilerin stresli yaşam olayları ile ilişkili olması nedeniyle dissosiyatif bozukluk tanısını da akla getirmekteydi. Bundan dolayı antipsikotik tedavi yerine uygulanan psikoterapötik müdahale ve psikolojik stresörden uzaklaşma yaklaşımlarının STTB açısından da fayda sağladığı gözlemlendi. STTB’in DSM 5’te psikoza özellikli atıfın çıkarılması diğer bozukluklarda da STTB’in klinisyenlerin dikkatini çekmesine neden olacaktır. Böylece bu değişiklik dissosiyatif bozukluk ve bazı bipolar afektif bozukluk olgularının daha iyi tanınmasını sağlayabilir ve hastaların gereksiz yere yüksek doz antipsikotik tedavi almasının önüne geçebilir.

    Depression and anxiety have unique contributions to somatic complaints in depression, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-10-02) SAKALLI KANİ, AYŞE; Yanartas, Omer; Kani, Haluk Tarik; Kani, Ayse Sakalli; Akca, Zeynep Nur Demirok; Akca, Erdogdu; Ergun, Serhat; Tezcan, Neslihan; Atug, Ozlen; Imeryuz, Nese; Sayar, Kemal
    OBJECTIVE: In this study we aim to investigate the effects of somatic and related symptoms (SARS), alexithymia, hypochondriasis, anxiety and depression on patients with major depressive disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease which are the representative diseases of brain gut axis (BGA). METHOD: Sex and age similar groups of participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) (n = 102), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (n = 51), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) (n = 54), and control group (n = 67) were included into this study. Depression and IBS were diagnosed according to DSM-5 and ROME 4 criteria, respectively. IBDs were established according to endoscopic, histological, and radiographic investigations. In all participants, somatic and related symptoms were evaluated by self-report scales including Bradford Somatic Inventory (BSI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Whiteley Index (WI), The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SAS). RESULTS: BSI, BDI, BAI, WI, TAS-20 and SAS scores were found to be highest in patients with MDD; scores of patients with IBS and IBDs were similar but higher than the control group. Gastrointestinal somatic symptoms including nausea, stomach burning, abdominal ache and stomach swelling were observed in more than half of the patients with MDD. The most common extra-intestinal somatic symptoms were, headache and neck pain and/or tension, and leg pain in IBS patients. However leg pain, weakness and lack of energy, and neck pain/tension were highest in IBDs patients. While the strongest correlation determined was between the BSI and anxiety scores in MDD (p<.001, r = .688) and IBS group; (p<.001, r = .51), in IBDs patients, BSI scores were more significantly correlated with depressive scores instead of anxiety (p<.001, r = .712 vs. r = .705, p<.001). CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that SARS are commonly observed in the representative diseases of BGA. Extra-intestinal somatic symptoms are common in IBS, and IBDs, and also gastrointestinal somatic symptoms are common in patients with MDD. Assessment of somatic and related symptoms is quite important in the context of BGA.
