“…Validity and reliability study has been established in Turkish language [30]. In Turkish clinical sample; BSI somatization scores were categorized as; high (above 40 points), middle (between 26 and 40 points), low (between 0 and 25 points) [31].…”

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.

“…Every symptom is scored up to three points whether the frequency of the items less or more fifteen days over the past month. The validity and reliability of BSI was demonstrated in the Turkish population (20). The cut-off value "forty points" for severe somatization stated in original study was used to transform the value of BSI total score to a binominal variable in the present study.…”

Objective: Somatic symptoms are more likely to be present in depression and anxiety, which causes to waste medical resources due to excessive hospital addmissions. It has been observed that the unclarity of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of somatization depending on the type of depression influences clinical practice less than expected. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the hallmarks of somatic symptoms in depression groups and to investigate the factors that might have an effect on somatic symptoms. Method: One hundred consecutive patients (50 with Bipolar Depression (BD), 50 with Unipolar Depression (UD)) who met the criteria participated in the study. Patients were assessed for depressive symptoms with Montgomery Asberg Depression Scale and for somatic symptoms with Bradford Somatic Symptom Inventory. Clinical features were obtained by the clinician via Sociodemographic Data Form. Results: It was found that no significant difference in somatization characteristics between the depression groups. (p> .05). Somatic symptom severity was higher in the UD group in the presence of psychiatric comorbidity (p= .013), but not in BD. Another prominent finding was that the severity of depression was noted the only predictor of severe somatization. Conclusion: The results show that increased somatic symptoms are associated with the severity of depression, suggesting treatment of depression with somatization rather than differential diagnosis should be primary concern.
