Abstract

Objective: Anxiety disorders represent risk factors for other psychiatric and somatic illnesses and represent thesecond most prevalent psychiatric disorders and the most frequent during an individual’s lifetime. This study wasperformed to determine if the diagnostic category of anxiety disorders has a seasonal pattern. Methods: This wasa retrospective (a data-base was studied), cross-sectional (analyzing prevalence), observational (with no interven-tion), descriptive (did not asses causality) study to determine the prevalence and seasonality of anxiety disordersin a university hospital psychiatric outpatient clinic. Patients were identified between 2005 and 2014 using the diag-nostic criteria of DSM IV-TR; the year was divided into four seasons to assign the consultation date to one of theseseasons. Anxiety disorder consultations with incomplete registry data or date were eliminated. Results: From theuniverse of consultations given (495,062), 13.7% were anxiety disorders, with these being the second most frequentcategory. These were distributed 24.91% in spring, 25.29% in summer; 26.56% in autumn; and 23.24% in winter.We also found no statistically significant association between summer and anxiety disorders. Discussion: Therewas no significant difference in the seasonal prevalence of anxiety consultations during the year; therefore, aseasonal pattern was ruled out.

Özet

Amaç: Anksiyete bozuklukları diğer psikiyatrik ve bedensel hastalıklar için risk etkenleridir. İkinci en yaygın psikiyat- rik bozukluklardır ve bireyin yaşamı boyunca en sık görülenlerdir. Bu çalışma anksiyete bozuklukları tanı kategori- sinin mevsimsel bir paterni olup olmadığını belirlemek için yapıldı. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, bir üniversite hastanesinin psikiyatri polikliniğinde anksiyete bozukluklarının yaygınlığını ve mevsimselliğini belirlemek için geriye dönül (bir veri tabanı çalışıldı), kesitsel (yaygınlık analizi), gözlemsel (müdahalesiz), tanımlayıcı (nedensellik değerlendirilme- di) bir çalışmadır. Hastalar 2005-2014 yılları arasında, DSM-IV-TR tanı ölçütleri kullanılarak belirlendi; konsültasyon tarihini bir mevsime atamak için yıl dört mevsime ayrıldı. Bilgileri eksik olan anksiyete bozuklukları konsültasyonları değerlendirmeye alınmadı. Sonuçlar: Tüm konsültasyonların (495,062) %13.7’si anksiyete bozuklukları idi. Bunla- rın mevsimlere göre dağılımı şöyleydi: İlkbahar %24.9, yaz %25.3, sonbahar %26.6, kış %23.2. Mevsimler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Tartışma: Yıl boyunca anksiyete konsültasyonlarının mevsimsel dağılı- mında önemli bir farklılık bulunmadı. Bu nedenle, mevsimsel bir patern oluşturulamadı.
