“…Statistical analysis: All data were transferred to the statistical package for Social Science 18.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois, USA) portable for Windows and analyzed. The risk of suicidal tendencies was determined using the anxiety (1-18) and depression (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) scores of the individuals with suicide attempts.…”

“…It is stated that suicide, which may have many reasons such as rates of suicide. Besides, it is established that individuals with problems such as dermatological disease cancer, pre-brain tumor surgery, and post-traumatic stress disorder have a higher tendency to commit suicide [3][4][5][6][7]. The aim of this study was to make a prediction about whether the suicide attempt can be predicted in advance through determining the anxiety and depression levels and the factors affecting the patients who were admitted to the emergency department of a hospital with suicide attempt and who were treated in an inpatient toxicology intensive care unit with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) also recommended in the literature [3,4,8,9].…”

Aim: This study aimed to determine the anxiety and depression levels of the patients who were admitted to the emergency department after a suicide attempt and to conclude whether they could be predicted before the suicide attempt Material and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 57 patients treated between June 2015 and December 2015. A questionnaire consisting of two parts was prepared for the participants. In the first part, the 8-item survey and in the second part, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Scale, consisting of 14 questions, were used. Results: The scores of the participants were 10.05 ± 4.56 for the anxiety subscale and 9.33 ± 4.57 for the depression subscale. There was a statistically significant difference between the depression subscale scores according to educational status (p <0.05). The depression subscale scores of the participants with a history of alcohol use were significantly higher than those who did not use alcohol (p <0.05). According to the results of correlation analysis between age and anxiety and depression subscale scores, a significant relationship was found between depression and anxiety subscale scores (r = 0.321, p = 0.015). Discussion: Preventing suicidal behavior may be possible by revealing and recognizing the various characteristics of people who have previously attempted suicide. Therefore, in this study, gender, age, education and job status, marital status, and related parameters were associated with suicide. The Pre-HAD scale can be used to estimate a suicide attempt.Factors associated with suicide socio-demographic status, socioeconomic level, unemployment, stressful life events, and migration, varies from society to society, and the suicide rate increases or decreases with this effect. Individuals regard suicide as a point of departure or salvation for a situation in which they cannot escape. Some people only think suicide, and at this stage, suicide is a severe psychiatric emergency that requires treatment and results in death if left untreated. Some people take direct action instead of thinking about suicide. In this case, it is seen that specific reasons lead to suicide, but since they are not reflected outside or noticed, it occurs as an action. Anxiety and depression may occur separately or together. Anxiety is a feeling of fear and worries that is challenging to describe. Depression, on the other hand, can be defined as an emotional, sad, and grieving mood, an abnormal mood dominated by sadness and unhappiness, which may occur in a healthy individual after loss, and a psychogenic disorder that continues with a specific group of symptoms and sometimes shows a cyclic disease. In anxiety and depression, symptoms such as fear, worry, panic attacks, pain, gastrointestinal complaints, excessive doubt, agitation, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbance, weakness, easy fatigue, and suicidal thoughts may be observed. These symptoms allow us to predict the suicidal tendency of an individual [1,2]. According to the latest data of the Tur...

“…Recently, depression has received increasing attention in cancer patients. Although depression may be a part of the reaction to diagnosis, depression persists in many patients, creating difficulties in general management and therapy [3]. There is also accumulating evidence indicating that affective and somatic depressive symptoms may occur prior to the establishment of a cancer diagnosis [4].…”

Cancer patients are likely to have depressive symptoms after a diagnosis of cancer or during the clinical course of cancer [3]. Studies have demonstrated that overall 21% of gastrointestinal patients suffer from depression [8, 9].…”

Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder among cancer patients. Studies have not only highlighted that leptin and its receptor (LepRb) are independent poor prognostic factors in gastric cancer (GC) patients but also shown that the leptin-LepRb is necessary for antidepressant-like behaviors. In this study, we examined the serum and tissue leptin-LepRb expression in GC patients. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that depressive GC patients had significantly higher serum leptin-LepRb than healthy donors. Leptin-LepRb levels in GC tissues were also significantly higher than in matched paracarcinoma tissues using real-time RT-PCR. Moreover, we observed that both serum and tissue leptin-LepRb were significantly higher in depressive GC patients than those in nondepressive GC patients. Further, the patients with high tumor stage tend to have higher leptin-LepRb mRNA levels than that with low tumor stage. Together, our findings suggest that leptin-LepRb plays an important role in the pathogenesis and depression in GC. Leptin-LepRb therefore could be a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target in GC patients with depression.

“…It is estimated to have an incidence of between 5% and 20% in mental health services, and about 50% in psychiatric consultation settings . AjD is also one of the most frequent diagnoses in patients with organic diseases and surgical interventions (Baumschlager, Haas-Krammer, & Rothenhäusler, 2011;Courtwright et al, 2016;Hernández-Blázquez & Cruzado, 2016;Marinho, Marques, Esteves, Roma-Torres, & Braganca, 2016;Mitchell et al, 2011), and in cases of absenteeism and work disability (Lagerveld, Blonk, Brenninkmeijer, Wijngaards-de, & Schaufeli, 2012;Van der Klink, Blonk, Schene, & van Dijk, 2003). In addition to being a highly prevalent disorder, AjD causes considerable distress and marked impairment in different functional areas of patients' lives (e.g., family, friendships, school/work, etc.…”
