Infections can lead to the onset of mood disorders in adults, partly through inflammatory mechanisms. However pediatric data are lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between depressive disorder and seropositivity of herpes virus infections in children.The sample group consisted of patients diagnosed with depressive disorder according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and healthy volunteers, being between 11 and 18 years with clinically normal mental capacity. All children completed DSM-5-Level-2 Depression Scale, DSM-5-Level-2 Irritability Scale, DSM-5-Level-2 Sleep Scale, DSM-5-Level-2 Somatic Symptoms Scale. The levels of anti-HSV1-IgG, anti-CMV-IgG, anti-EBNA, and anti-HHV6-IgG were examined in all participants.Patients with an antibody value above the cut-off values specified in the test kits were evaluated as seropositive. The mean age was 15.54 ± 1.57 years in the depression group (DG), 14.87 ± 1.76 years in the healthy control group (CG). There were 4 boys (11.2%), 32 girls (88.8%) in the DG, 9 boys (21.9%) and 32 girls (78.04%) in the CG. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the presence of seropositivity of HSV1, CMV, EBV, and HHV6. HHV6 antibody levels were significantly higher in the DG (p = 0.000). A significant positive correlation was found between HHV6 antibodies and DSM-5 level-2 somatic symptoms scale score. HHV6 antibody levels were found to be significantly higher in patients with existing suicidal ideation in the DG (n = 13) compared to those without existing suicidal ideation in the DG (p = 0.043). HHV6 persistent infections may be responsible for somatic symptoms and etiology of suicidal ideation in childhood depressive disorder.

Problem: To investigate the associations between attachment quality, metacognition problems, and somatization.Methods: One thousand and seven adolescents between the ages of 14-17 were included in the study. They completed the DSM-V Level 2 Somatic Symptoms Scale, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (short version), the MetacognitionsQuestionnaire for Children (MCQ-C), and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.The Spearmen's rank-order correlation test and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the associations between the scales.Findings: Correlation coefficients and structural equation modeling indicated that attachment quality is significantly associated with somatic symptom severity, and MCQ-C scores play a partial mediator role in the relationship between attachment quality and somatization.Conclusion: Improving metacognitive skills in adolescents with low attachment quality may increase therapeutic success when addressing somatization.

Aim of the studyPandemics have negative physical and mental effects on children and adolescents. However, our knowledge about the factors related to the mental problems experienced in this process is limited. This study aimed to examine the association between resources of Covid-19 related information exposure and sociodemographic characteristics and mental health problems during pandemics.Subject or material and methodsThis study was carried out with 1030 children. The sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and exposure to information flow about the Covid-19 pandemic were recorded. Psychiatric problems were assessed using the DSM-5 Level-2 Anxiety Scale, DSM-5 Level-2 Depression Scale, DSM-5 Level-2 Sleep Disorder Scale.ResultsThe mean age was found as 10.45 years. It was determined that 33% of the participants had moderate/high level anxiety symptoms and 16.1% had moderate/high level depressive symptoms. Girl gender was related with anxiety-depression symptoms and sleep disorders, living in urban area was related with anxiety symptoms, increasing age and presence of death due to Covid-19 were associated with depression symptoms. It was determined that information exposure through TV, internet and peer conversations is associated with anxiety-depression symptoms, and information exposure via internet and family conversations was associated with sleep disorder symptoms.Discussion.ConclusionsMeasures to be taken for both sociodemographic risk factors and the negative consequences of resources of information exposure may reduce the negative psychological effects of pandemics on children.
