    (AVES, 2022) Hande Çelikay Söyler; Ayşe Ender Altintoprak; Soyler, Hande Celikay; Altintoprak, Ayse Ender
    In this study substance use personality traits and psychiatric symptoms of individuals using cannabis and synthetic cannabinoid were examined and compared with healthy controls. A total of 52 participants who applied to Ege University Faculty of Medicine Department of Mental Health and Diseases Substance Addiction Treatment Center between March 2015 and June 2017 who used cannabis for at least 1 year in the past and 51 participants who used synthetic cannabinoids for at least 1 year in the past constituted the participant group with a history of substance use and 57 Ege University employees/ students without any substance use history constituted the control group participants. The age range was determined as 18–54. Hacettepe Personality Inventory was used to evaluate the personality traits of the par-ticipants and the Symptom Screening Test-90 was used to examine the psychopathological symptom levels. Participants with a history of synthetic cannabinoid use evaluated by Hacettepe Personality Inventory had a significantly lower score on general adjustment personal adjustment social adjustment self-actualization emotional stability neurotic tendencies psychotic symptoms family relations social relations social norms antisocial tendencies sub-dimensions and they scored significantly higher in all Symptom Screening Test 90 sub-dimensions. The study suggests that adding social adaptation and psychoeducational programs to medical and psycho-social improvement studies in the field of addiction will increase success. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Introduction: To identify dysfunctional attitudes seen in bipolar disorder (BPD) is important for the cognitive theories of BPD and corresponding psychosocial interventions. Cognitions are seen as vulnerability factors in the development and maintenance of BPD. The present study aims to contribute to the cognitive literature on BPD by examining depressive and hypomanic attitudes and their contribution to the prediction of BPD diagnosis as well as by exploring the relationship between dysfunctional cognitions and clinical features (types of episodes experienced duration of illness and duration of remission). Methods: One hundred and eighteen remitted bipolar patients and 103 healthy controls completed the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) Turkish Brief-Hypomanic Interpretations and Positive Predictions Inventory (HAPPI) and Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. Results: The bipolar group had significantly higher depressive and hypomanic attitudes than the control group. No significant differences were found regarding the types of episodes experienced and duration of illness. However both types of attitudes decreased as the duration of remission increased. They were also found to contribute to the prediction of bipolar diagnosis together with the screening of the MDQ. Conclusion: The results pointed out that dysfunctional cognitions may be utilized as possible indicators for the risk of relapse in clinical groups and vulnerability for BPD among other populations.
