    (2019) Kocamer Sahin, Sengul; Demir, Ahmet; Elboga, Gulcin; Altindag, Abdurrahman; Dogan, Ilkay
    Aim: There is a common belief that creativity and artistic talent/creativity are related to psychopathology. Mood disorders are more prominent in studies about relations between creativity and psychopathology. Also patients may be more productive during mania and hypomania periods of bipolar mood disorder. Considering these data, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a predisposition to bipolar disorder in people with artistic creativity. Materials and Methods: A total of 157 students were selected randomly from the Art department and 157 from different departments including Faculties of Law, Science and Literature and Education. Art students had proven their artistic competence by two stage examination. Groups were compared based on mood disorder questionnaire (MDQ) and bipolarity predisposition factors. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analyses. Chi-square analysis was used to compare case-control groups according to demographic characteristics.Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, sex, education, smoking, marital status, family history of psychiatric disorder. The number of psychiatric admissions were higher in the students of art (p=0.026). Alcohol-substance use was higher among students of Art (p=0.001). The MDQ scale result was 50.3% positive for Art students and 26.8% positive for students from different departments. MDQ scale, the predisposition of bipolar disorder was found to be significantly higher in Art students.Conclusion: The high prevalence of bipolarity features with MDQ scale in art students supports the relationship between artistic talent / creativity and bipolar disorder.

Internalized Stigma of schizophrenia patients was higher than patients with bipolar disorder (p = 0.030). Internalized Stigma was higher in female patients with schizophrenia than female patients with bipolar disorder (p = 0.006).

    Substance use profile, treatment compliance, treatment outcomes and related factors in probation: a retrospective file review
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Demir, Bahadir; Kocamer Sahin, Sengul; Altindag, Abdurrahman; Elboga, Gulcin; Unal, Ahmet
    Objective In this study, we aimed to investigate the sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals who mandated to the probation unit as the substances they use, their compliance with the programs, treatment outcomes and the relationships between these parameters. Secondly we aimed to determine the predictive factors that guide in taking protective measures. Methods The files of the individuals who applied to probation clinic of Gaziantep 25 Aralik State Hospital between 01.01.2019-31.12.2019 were examined retrospectively. SPSS 22.0 program was used to statistical analysis. Results Totally 1024 cases were included in the study. Most of the cases were between the ages of 16-35 (84.1%) and 68.3% of individuals were primary school graduates. Most (n: 607, 59.3%) were single in terms of marital status. Substance was detected in the urine of 30.3% of the applicants (n: 311). Among the substances detected in urine, amphetamine-methamphetamine was in the first place with 13.6%. In terms of treatment compliance levels of probation, it was seen that 593 (57.9%) reports were prepared as no treatment required, 117 (11.4%) were compliant to treatment and 303 (29.6%) were noncompliant to treatment. A statistically significant difference was found between working status and treatment outcomes (p = 0.001). When the first urine result of the patients were grouped as negative and positive; A statistically significant difference was found between the first urine test and the treatment outcomes and criminal score (for both p = 0.001).There was a statistically significant difference between the status of being a probation measure previously and the outcome of treatment (p = 0.019). Conclusion In our study, the most used substance type was found to be amphetamine-methamphetamine (13.6%). Prevalence in substance use appears to be changing. This is an important finding about the prevalence of use of amphetamine-methamphetamine in Turkey. We suggest that those who have irregular jobs in the probation process, those with substance metabolites detected in the first urine, and those who have previously had probation precautions may have a poor prognosis and that it may be more effective to apply to those profiles in a general program that includes social and occupational fields.
