Az bilinen bir konu ‘Menstrüel Psikoz’: Bir olgu sunumu ve kısa bir gözden geçirme

Abstract

Menstrual psychosis (MP) is a condition that is associated with the menstrual cycle and can cause significant mental changes. Information about diagnosis and treatment approaches is limited. MP, which is generally reported to occur in young women around the age of 16, typically has an acute onset consistent with the premenstrual cycle, with short-term psychotic symptoms, and a clinical appearance that ends within a few days of discontinuation of menstruation bleeding. In addition to psychotic symptoms, patients may have significant mood symptoms.In this study, a 42-year-old female patient presented to the psychiatry outpatient clinic with complaints of suspicion of people, thinking that she would see them evil, inability to focus, attention, lack of willingness and insomnia. The patient reported that these symptoms occur in almost every premenstrual period starting from adolescence. Unlike other studies, our case is in adult age and it is noteworthy that she was late diagnosed for MP symptoms since menarche.

Ölüm ve Yas Ritüelleri: Din, Modernizm ve Batı Medeniyetleri Ekseninde Bir Değerlendirme

“…Aynalar örtülür, deri elbiseler giyilmez ve kadınlar bir ay boyunca makyaj yapmaz, erkekler de tıraş olmazlar. On bir ay sonra sembolik bir taşın kırılmasıyla yas sonlandırılır (Çolak ve Hocaoğlu, 2021). Yahudilikte yaygın olarak görülen diğer bazı yas adetleri içerisinde elbise yırtma, çula sarılma, üzerine kül serpme-kül üzerinde yatma, oruç tutma, saç-baş yolma ve dövünme yer almaktadır.…”

Depremin Okul Öncesi Çocuklar Üzerindeki Etkileri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

“…The differential susceptibility theory highlights the importance of environmental effects, so revealing the impact of the earthquake on preschool children may be beneficial. Also, numerous studies emphasize the vulnerability of children in the event of an earthquake (Çolak & Hocaoğlu, 2021;Özkan & Kutun, 2021;Takada, 2013). Some studies have shown that children tend to suffer more mental health issues than adults in the aftermath of natural disasters like earthquakes (Özkan & Kutun, 2021).…”

“…In this regard, Takada (2013) states that preschool children struggle to comprehend earthquakes and cannot deal with them effectively. Likewise, Çolak and Hocaoğlu (2021) express that preschool children cannot understand the deaths that occur around them. Children under magical thinking consider that the deceased can return.…”

“…Considering the self-centeredness that emerged in the preschool period, earthquakes and related deaths pose much more significant problems for children of this period. School-age children can better understand death and disasters, so they can cope with their negative experiences by using more effective coping strategies (Çolak & Hocaoğlu, 2021;Özkan & Kutun, 2021). Thus, post-earthquake psychoeducational programs and therapeutic interventions are of great urgency for preschool children.…”
