The Amsterdam Misophonia Scale-Revised (AMISOS-R) is a self-report scale that measures the presence and severity of symptoms experienced in response to specific auditory stimuli. This cross-sectional, descriptive study aims to evaluate psychometric properties of the AMISOS-R in the Turkish language and to examine psychosocial factors associated with misophonia. A total of 374 individuals (female/male: 154/220) between 15 and 45 years of age were included in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit indices were at a good level, and they supported the single-factor structure. Test-retest results and Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed that the scale had high reliability. Misophonia scores were also found to be moderately correlated with obsessive-compulsive disorder and neuroticism. The AMISOS-R was found to be a valid and reliable tool to evaluate misophonia in the Turkish language.

The Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which affected the whole world, had severe effects on children and adolescents, psychiatric disorders appeared, and existing psychiatric symptoms exacerbated. With the measures taken to reduce the spread of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, and changes in the health system, it has been difficult for children and families to access mental health services. Globally, the usage of telepsychiatry applications has increased, and various help has been provided to children and families through online platforms. When Turkish literature was reviewed, we came across a limited number of articles on telepsychiatry practices in children and adolescents. In this article, four cases diagnosed with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Major Depression Disorder, Substance Use Disorder were presented, who were followed by telepsychiatry, and recommendations for future arrangements were made by reviewing the literature.
