Çalışmaya katılan ergenler RHİDÖ ve ebeveynlerin ERHİDÖ toplam puan ve alt ölçek puan ortalamaları bakımından yabancılaşma alt ölçek puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanırken (p<0,05), toplam puan ve diğer alt ölçek puan ortalamaları bakımından gruplar arası anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmaya katılan ruhsal bozukluk tanısı alan ergenler ve ebeveynlerinin içselleştirilmiş damgalanma puanlarının benzer olduğu belirlendi. Çocuk ve ergenlerin tedaviye uyumlarını arttırmada hem ergenlerin hem de ebeveynlerinin içselleştirilmiş damgalanmalarını azaltabilecek psikososyal girişimler uygulanması önerilebilir.

Objective Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with underlying pathogenesis and etiological factors not fully understood. We assumed that galectin-3, which is also linked with inflammatory responses, may play an important role in the ethiopathogenesis of ADHD. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether serum galectin-3 levels are related to ADHD in childhood.Methods The current study consisted of 35 treatment-naive children with ADHD and 35 control subjects. The severities of ADHD and conduct disorder symptoms were assessed via parent- and teacher-rated questionnaires. The severity of anxiety and depression symptoms of the children were determined by the self-report scale. Venous blood samples were collected and serum galectin-3 levels were measured.Results The ADHD group had significantly higher serum Galectin-3 levels than the control group. To control confounding factors, including age, sex, and BMI percentile, one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test was also performed. Analyses revealed a significantly higher serum log- Galectin-3 levels in children with ADHD compared to controls. No association was found between the mean serum galectin-3 levels and sociodemographic characteristics and clinical test scores, except the oppositional defiant behavior scores.Conclusion Our research supports the hypothesis that serum levels of galectin-3 might be related to ADHD.

“…The prevalence of ADHD in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was reported to be 5% in children and adolescents (8). The prevalence of ADHD in our country was found to be 8.1% in a study conducted in 2004, 12.7% in a study conducted in 2014 and 12.4% in a study conducted in 2018 (6,9,10). The changes in diagnostic criteria and public awareness works have played an important role in increasing the incidence of ADHD in recent years.…”

“…Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has an important place among these psychiatric diseases. In the large-scale multicenter study conducted in our country, ADHD was the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children and adolescents (6). ADHD is a disorder in which symptoms such as inattention, inability to focus, excessive movement and impulsivity are observed which adversely affect the individual's academic, work and social functioning (7).…”

Aim: This study aims to obtain current information on the clinical features of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cases, comorbid psychiatric disorders and psychiatric drug use. Methods: All patients between the ages of 6 and 18 years who were admitted to our outpatient clinic and diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were included in the study. The files of the patients were examined and their demographic characteristics, symptoms, psychiatric diagnoses and drug profiles were recorded. The pattern of the psychiatric disorders accompanied by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cases and the differences according to age and gender were analyzed. The differences were determined in patients with psychiatric comorbidity compared to those without. Result: The mean age of the 777 patients included in the study was 11.1±2.94 and 76.6% were boys. 60.9% of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patients had comorbid psychiatric disorders. The most common psychiatric comorbidities were specific learning disability (23.6%), oppositional defiant disorder (12.9%) and conduct disorder (12.1%). There was no difference between the genders in terms of the incidence of psychiatric comorbidities. The rate of psychiatric comorbidity was significantly higher in adolescents than in children. A psychotropic medication was used in 86.4% of the cases and psychotropic polypharmacy was present in 31.5%. The rate of polypharmacy was significantly higher in the group with psychiatric comorbidity. Conclusion: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is frequently accompanied by other psychiatric disorders and the psychiatric comorbidity leads to a more complicated clinical profile. Approximately one-third of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patients have psychiatric polypharmacy and these patients should be carefully monitored. Primary care physicians who are frequently confronted with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cases should be careful about psychiatric comorbidities.
