Abstract

Objective: Activation syndrome (AS), as described by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), comprises 10 bipolar associated symptoms which starts after antidepressant therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between lifetime hypomanic symptoms and the development of AS in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). Method: The study was conducted at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Department of Psychiatry. A total of 60 consecutive outpatients diagnosed with MDD were assessed at three time points; before the initiation of antidepressant therapy (baseline), at 2nd week and at 4th week. At the initial interview the patients completed the Hypomania Checklist-32 (HCL-32) in order to assess the lifetime history of hypomanic symptoms. Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) were utilized to detect the symptoms of AS at each assessment. Results: AS was detected in 25 (41.7%) patients. The most prevalent symptoms of AS were insomnia (31.7%), anxiety (25%) and irritability (15%). A significant difference was found in the HCL-32 scores of patients with and without AS. A moderate correlation between the number of AS symptoms and HSL-32 test scores were also determined. Conclusion: AS development was more common among the depressed patients with lifetime history of hypomanic symptoms. Given the frequency of misdiagnosis of BPD as MDD, it would be helpful to assess the hypomanic symptoms systematically with scales similar to HSL-32 in depressive patients before prescribing antidepressant medication.

Özet

Amaç: Amerikan Gıda İlaç Dairesi (AGİD) tarafından tanımlanan aktivasyon sendromu (AS) antidepresan tedavi sonrası görülen ve bipolar bozukluk (BPB) ile ilişkilendirilen 10 belirtiden oluşur. Bu çalışmada majör depresif bozukluk (MDB) tanısı konmuş ve antidepresan tedavi başlanacak hastaların, yaşam boyu hipomanik belirtiler ile tedavi sürecinde AS gelişmesi arasında ilişki olup olmadığının saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Hacettepe Üniversitesi Erişkin Hastanesi Psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran, MDB tanısıyla antidepresan tedavisi planlanan 60 hasta, tedavi başlangıcında, 2. hafta sonunda ve 4. hafta sonunda olmak üzere üç kez değerlendirilmiştir. İlk görüşmede Hipomani Soru Listesi-32 (HSL-32) uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca AS belirtilerini saptamak için üç görüşmede de Young Mani Derecelendirme Ölçeği (YMDÖ), Hamilton Anksiyete Değerlendirme Ölçeği (HADÖ), Hamilton Depresyon Değerlendirme Ölçeği (HDDÖ), Barnes Akatizi Ölçeği (BAÖ) uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 25’inde (%41,7) AS saptanmıştır. En çok saptanan AS belirtileri uykuda bozulma (%31,7), anksiyete (%25) ve sinirliliktir (%15). AS saptanmayanlar ile saptananlar arasında, HSL-32 test puanları bakımından anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. AS belirti sayısı ile HSL-32 test puanı arasında orta düzeyde ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Yaşam boyu hipomanik belirtileri fazla olan depresyon hastalarında AS daha fazla saptanmıştır. BPB’de yanlış tanı sıklığının yüksek olduğu göz önüne alınacak olursa, depresyon hastalarında antidepresan başlama kararı almadan önce HSL-32 gibi ölçeklerle hipomanik özelliklerin değerlendirilmesi yararlı olabilir.
