“…Iron supplementation showed a trend towards improvement of tic severity upon follow-up. [44] Studies involving the association of schizophrenia with vitamin B12, folate and ferritin are contradictory. The results of a study suggested that serum folic acid and vitamin B12 values in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder did not differ from healthy controls.…”

Objectives:This study aims to compare the vitamin B12, folate, and ferritin levels of inpatients in a psychiatry clinic. Materials and methods:The study included 286 inpatients (178 males, 108 females; mean age 35.4±12.9 years; range, 15 to 76 years) treated in Adiyaman University Training and Research Hospital psychiatry clinic between 01 January 2017 and 31 December 2017. Patients' diagnoses and vitamin B12, folate, and ferritin levels were examined retrospectively. Results:The most common diagnoses were schizophrenia (23.4%), bipolar affective disorder (23.1%), and major depressive disorder (11.5%). While there was no significant difference in vitamin B12 levels according to sex (p=0.850), folate level was significantly lower in males (p=0.001) and ferritin level was significantly lower in females (p=0.001). No difference was detected in the levels of vitamin B12, folate and ferritin in the comparison between diagnoses. Conclusion: Deficiency in vitamin B12, folate, and ferritin levels may cause psychiatric symptoms. Due to the high number of patients with low vitamin B12 levels in our study, more attention may be paid to vitamin B12 replacement. Ferritin deficiency in females and folate deficiency in males are noteworthy. Further research are needed to identify more specific and detailed algorithms related to vitamin B12, folate, and ferritin to support the findings of this study and optimize the care given to patients suffering from psychiatric syndromes. Bulgular: En sık görülen tanılar şizofreni (%23.4), bipolar affektif bozukluk (%23.1) ve majör depresif bozukluk (%11.5) idi. Cinsiyete göre B12 vitamini düzeylerinde anlamlı farklılık yokken (p=0.850) erkeklerde folat düzeyi (p=0.001) ve kadınlarda ferritin düzeyi (p=0.001) anlamlı olarak düşük idi. Tanılar arasındaki karşılaştırmada; B12 vitamini, folat ve ferritin düzeyleri arasında farklılık tespit edilmedi. Sonuç: B12 vitamini, folat ve ferritin düzeylerinde eksiklik psikiyatrik semptomlara neden olabilir. Çalışmamızda B12 vitamini düzeyi düşük olan hasta sayısının fazla olmasına bağlı olarak B12 vitamini replasmanında daha dikkatli olunabilir. Kadınlardaki ferritin eksikliği ve erkeklerdeki folat eksikliği dikkat çekicidir. Bu çalışmanın bulgularını desteklemek ve psikiyatrik sendromu olan hastalara verilen bakımın optimize edilmesi için B12 vitamini, folat ve ferritine ilişkin daha spesifik ve ayrıntılı algoritmaları belirlemek amacıyla ileri araştırmalar gerekmektedir.Anahtar sözcükler: Ferritin; folik asit; yatan hastalar; psikiyatri; retrospektif çalışma; B12 vitamini.
