Amaç:
Major Depresif Bozukluk (MDB) ergenlik
döneminde sık görülen önemli bir ruh sağlığı bozukluğudur. Çalışmamızda MDB
tanısı ile takip ve tedaviye alınan ergenlerde depresyon şiddetinin, kullanılan
tedavi yöntemlerinin ve klinik özelliklerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem:
1 Ocak-31 Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında
hastanemiz çocuk ve ergen psikiyatrisi polikliniğine ayaktan başvuran ve DSM 5’e
göre unipolar MDB tanısı alan 12-18 yaş aralığındaki 350 ergen hastanın dosyası
geriye dönük olarak incelenmiş ve bu ergenlerin sosyodemografik ve klinik
özellikleri değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel değerlendirme için SPSS 17,0
kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular:
Bir yıllık zaman diliminde polikliniğe
başvuran 4.646 ergenin 350’sine (%7,5) MDB tanısı konmuştur. Kız ergenler
örneklemin %75,4’ünü oluşturmakta idi. Ergenler
depresyon şiddeti açısından sınıflandırıldığında, tüm örneklemin %45,7’sinin
hafif, %44,3’ünün orta ve %10’unun ağır şiddetli depresyon grubunda yer aldığı
ve tüm bu gruplarda kız ergenlerin daha yüksek oranda olduğu bulunmuştur. Örneklem
aldığı tedavi açısından değerlendirildiğinde %81,7’sine farmakoterapi, %15,1’ine
çeşitli psikoterapiler, %3,1’ine ise farmakoterapi ve psikoterapi kombinasyonu
uygulanmıştır. Ergenlerin %87,4’ünde seçici serotonin geri alım inhibitörleri
(SSGİ) tek başına tercih edilmiştir. Somatoform bozukluk (disosiyatif ve
konversif bozukluk) ve yas
reaksiyonu varlığı farmakoterapi
ve psikoterapinin birlikte kullanımı için anlamlılık göstermiştir. Farmakoterapi alan
ergenlerin %.8,6’sında en az bir
yan etki varlığı saptanmıştır.
Tartışma:
Çalışma bulgularımız literatürle uyumlu
olarak, ergen yaş grubunda MDB tanısı tüm şiddet düzeylerinde kızlarda anlamlı
olarak daha fazla görülmekte olup tedavisinde SSGİ monoterapisi çoğu kez ilk
seçenek olarak kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmamız MDB tanılı ergenlerde yapılmış
geniş örneklemli, tedavi ve şiddet değerlendirmesini içeren bir çalışma olması
açısından konu ile ilgili literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmüştür; fakat bu
verilerin kesitsel, geriye dönük ve durum saptaması niteliğinde olması
nedeniyle genellenmesi uygun olmayabilir.

Objective:
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is an important mental health disorder
that is common in adolescence. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate
depression severity, treatment methods and clinical features of adolescents who
were followed up and treated with MDD diagnosis.
Methods: Between January and December 2015, 350 adolescent patients between 12-18
years of age who consulted with child and adolescent psychiatry clinic and diagnosed
by unipolar MDD according to DSM-5 was reviewed. The sociodemographic and
clinical features of these cases were evaluated. SPSS 17.0 was used for
statistical evaluation.
Results:
MDD was diagnosed
in 350 (7.5%) of 4,646 adolescents who applied to the outpatient clinic during
the 1-year period. Girls were 75.4% of the sample. When the cases were
classified in terms of severity of depression, it was found that 45.7% of the
whole sample was mild, 44.3% was middle and 10% was severe MDD and the girls
were higher in all groups. Pharmacotherapy was applied in 81.7% of the sample,
15.1% of psychotherapies, 3.1% of the combination of pharmacotherapy and
psychotherapy. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) alone were
preferred in 87.4% of the cases. Somatoform disorder (dissociative and conversion
disorder) and bereavement reaction were significant for the combined use of
pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. At least one adverse event was detected in
8.8% of the cases.
Discussion: Compatibly the
literature, in adolescence MDD diagnosis was significantly more common in
females in all severity groups. SSRIs monotherapy is mostly used as the first
option in treatment. Our study will contribute to the related literature in
terms of involving wide sampling, treatment and severity evaluation in
adolescents with MDD; but generalization may not be appropriate because of the the
study’s cross-sectional and situation
determination nature
