    Association between internalized stigma and some diagnostic subgroups, socio-demographic variables, and self-esteem levels in patients that refer to the psychiatry clinic of an education and research hospital
    (Istanbul Universitesi, 2015) Beyazyüz, Murat; Beyazyüz, Elmas; Albayrak, Yakup; Baykal, S.; Göka, E.
    Objective: This study was designed to investigate the associations between internalized stigma levels and socio-demographic variables, self-esteem levels, and some rigid bias in a patient sample which is divided into subgroups according to diagnostic categories of anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders and obsessive compulsive disorders. Methods: After an interview, socio-demographic data forms and illness data forms were filled in by the interviewer. Then Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scales and Rosenberg Self-esteem scales were given to patients to be filled in. Results: According to statistical analysis, higher internalized stigma levels were found in males, singles, rural habitants, and those who have not familial history of mental illness. In our study lower self-esteem was found to be negatively correlated with higher Discussion: Results of our study suggest that internalized stigma may influence the help-seeking behaviors and overall process of treatment, not only for patients with severe mental illnesses, but also for those who have mild or moderate mental disturbances. These diagnostic groups must be paid attention while executing studies against stigma and self-stigma. Otherwise, this kind of discrimination in anti-stigma campaigns may increase the stigmatization of mental illnesses. © 2015, Istanbul Universitesi. All rights reserved.

    Decreased serum orexin A levels in drug-naive children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder
    (Springer-Verlag Italia s.r.l., 2019) Baykal, S.; Albayrak, Yakup; Durankuş, Ferit; Güzel, S.; Abbak, Özlem; Potas, Nihan; Donma, Mustafa Metin
    Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders of childhood and characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and its etiology has not yet been determined precisely. Orexin A is thought to play an important role in different forms of learning, memory, and attention. Despite its importance in attention and learning, no study has investigated serum orexin levels in patients with ADHD. In the present study, we aimed to compare serum orexigenic neuropeptides such as orexin A and orexin B, neuropeptide Y, and ghrelin between drug naive children with ADHD and healthy children. Fifty-six drug-naive children with ADHD and 40 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. After comparison of serum orexin A and orexin B, neuropeptide Y, and ghrelin, we found that serum orexin A levels were significantly lower in the ADHD group (p = 0.001). Furthermore, serum orexin A levels were compared between ADHD subgroups. Orexin A levels were significantly lower in the inattentive subtype compared with the hyperactive subtype and combined subtype (p = 0.009). Our results indicate that orexin A might be a neurobiological etiological factor in ADHD, particularly associated with attention symptoms. The present study is the first to demonstrate decreased serum orexin A levels in drug-naive children with ADHD. Further studies are needed to confirm our results and to show the effects of treatments involving orexin A in patients with ADHD. © 2019, Fondazione Società Italiana di Neurologia.
