“…When the sociodemographic data of the patients were compared with a current study conducted in Ankara, they reached similar results in terms of average age and marital status. In our study, 61.8% of the patients graduated from primary school at most, and this rate is quite high compared to other studies [36]. It was thought that the low level of education could be due to the fact that it was made in a small center and that our patient group consisted of only women.…”

“…compared to similar studies.The rate of bipolar affective disorder, which is 24.3%, is higher [36]. Considering that psychotic disorders are observed more frequently in the male population and mood disorders are observed more frequently in the female population, we think that this rate difference is due to the inclusion of only female patients in our study.…”

Background: In parallel with the development of neuroimaging methods, become increasingly possible to explore the relationship between mental disorders and structural brain lesions. It is aimed to examine the relationship between the clinicalfeatures and psychopathologies of psychiatric patients and their anomalies. Methods: Two hundred-six female patients who were treated in Clinic of Psychiatry, Rize Training and Research Hospital between01/Jan/2016 and 31/Dec/2021 and had brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included in this study. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics data form was recorded for each patient. Simultaneously, the size and location of the anomalies were recorded by scanning the brain MRI. Results: When the brain MRI scans of the patients were evaluated, 56% of 206 patients had at least one of the related anomalies. Enlarged Virchow-Robin space (VRS) in 2.4%, mega cisterna magna (MCM) in 14.6%, total empty sella (ES) in 8.3%, partial ES in 27.7%, cavum vergae (CV) in 1.9%, hippocampal remnant cyst (HRC) in 17%and 6.8% had arachnoid cyst (AC) findings. When the sociodemographic data and clinical characteristics of the patients were compared with the brain MRI findings, a significant correlation was found between the presence of MCM and the use of antidepressant medication (p=0.026). A significant correlation was found between the presenceof AC, disease duration and regular treatment history (p=0.0002). No significant correlation was found between otherdata and MRI (p>0.05). Conclusions: In our study, it is noteworthy that a higher rate of anomaly was detected in brain imaging of caseswith a history of psychiatric diagnosisand treatment comparedto the general population.
