Abstract

Purpose: The term of ‘Theory of mind’ (ToM), is the ability to understand one’s own others’ mental states, is an important capacity for social cognition and there is increasing data that theory of mind is compromised in bipolar patients even in euthymic periods. The aim of this study was to investigate theory of mind deficits in euthymic bipolar disorder patients and its relation to the clinical features. Materials and method:Fifty two euthymic patients with bipolar I disorder according to DSM IV-TR and 60 matched healthy control subjects were involved in this study. ToM was assessed by Reading the Mind in the Eyes test and the Dokuz Eylül Theory of Mind Scale. Results: The patient group had significantly lower performance on both of the ToM tests. We observed significant correlation between age of onset, the number of hospitalizations, the number of manic/mixed episodes and theory of mind performance. Conclusion: The result we showed is that ToM is impaired in euthymic bipolar I patients, which is consistent with the studies suggesting that ToM might be a trait marker for bipolar disorder.

Özet

Amaç: Zihin kuramı kavramı, kişinin kendisinin ve başkalarının zihinsel durumlarını anlama yeteneğidir ve sosyal biliş için önemli bir kapasitedir. Bipolar bozuklukta zihin kuramının ötimik dönemde bile etkilendiğine dair çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ötimik olan bipolar bozukluk I hastalarında zihin kuramı özellikleri ve klinik özellikler ile ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya, bipolar I bozukluk tanısı konan 52 hasta ve yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim süresi açısından eşleştirilmiş 60 kontrol dahil edildi. Zihin kuramı (ZK), Gözler Testi ve Dokuz Eylül Zihin Teorisi Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hasta grubunun, her iki ZK testinde anlamlı olarak daha düşük puan aldığı tespit edildi. Klinik değişkenlerden hastalık başlangıç yaşı, hastaneye yatış süresi ve manik/mikst atak sayısının ZK becerileri ile ilişkisi olduğu gözlendi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma zihin kuramının bipolar bozuklukta ötimik dönemlerde de etkilenmiş olduğu göstermiştir ve zihin kuramının bipolar bozuklukta bir yatkınlık belirleyicisi (trait marker) olabileceğini öne süren çalışmaları desteklemektedir.
