Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, izmir 'de yarı-kırsal bir alanda mevsimsel duygudurum bozukluğu (MDB) ve eşikaltı mevsimsel duygudurum bozukluğu yaygınlığını araştırmaktır. Methods: Rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş bir örnekleme mevsimsel gidiş değerlendirme formu (MGDF) elden verilmiş ve formlar 3-5 gün sonra geri toplanmıştır. Results: Mevsimsel duygudurum bozukluğu (MDB) ve eşikaltı mevsimsel duygudurum bozukluğu yaygınlığı sırasıyla %2.21 ve %9.22 oranlarında saptanmıştır.
