Abstract

Objective: Psychogenic excoriation (PE), characterized by excessive scratching or picking of the skin, is not yet recognized as a symptom of a distinct DSM-IV disorder. It is a chronic disorder with a high rate of psychiatric comorbidity. The purpose of this study was to compare patients diagnosed with PE and another group of psychodermatosis patients in terms of comorbid psychiatric disorders. Method: Thirty-one consecutive subjects were recruited from an outpatient dermatology clinic. The control group was composed of 31 patients with a dermatological disease other than PE. Subjects were interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and the Yale-Brown Obsession and Compulsion Scale (YBOCS). Subjects also completed a semi-structured questionnaire for socio-demographic data and clinical features. Results: Current major depressive syndrome was the most common psychiatric disorder in the PE group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of current major depressive syndrome (PE group 58.1%, control group 6.5%, p<0.01). Some 45.2% of the PE group was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) while the proportion was only 3.7% in the control group. This difference was also statistically significant (p<0.01). The PE group scored significantly higher in the BDI, HARS and the YBOCS. Conclusion: The results of this study point to a close relationship between PE and depression and OCD.

Özet

Karakteristik özelliği cildin aşırı tırnaklanması ve koparılması olan psikojenik deri yolma (PD), henüz DSM-IV'de yer alan ayrı bir bozukluğa ait bir belirti olarak kabul edilmemektedir. Bu çalışmada, PD tanısı konmuş bir grup hastanın başka bir grup psikodermatozlu hastayla, eşlik eden psikiyatrik bozukluklar yönünden karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya dermatoloji kliniğinde PD tanısı konulan 31 hasta ardışık olarak alındı. Kontrol grubunu PD dışında bir deri hastalığı olan 31 hasta oluşturdu. Tüm hastalarla DSM-III-R için yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak psikiyatrik görüşme yapıldı. Ayrıca tüm hastalara Beck Depresyon Ölçeği, Hamilton Anksiyete Derecelendirme Ölçeği, Yale-Brown Obsesif Kompulsif Belirti Ölçeği ile sosyodemografik ve klinik verileri içeren yarı-yapılandırılmış bir soru formu uygulandı. Bulgular: PD grubunda "şimdiki durumda depresif bozukluklar" tanısı en yüksek orandaydı, iki grup arasında şimdiki majör depresif sendrom açısından anlamlı istatistiksel fark vardı (PD grubu %58.1, kontrol grubu %6.5, p<0.01). Obsesif kompulsif bozukluk (OKB) tanısı PD'lı grupta %45.2, kontrol grubunda %3.7 idi. iki grup arasındaki fark anlamlıydı (p<0.01). Ölçek sonuçlarına göre depresyon, anksiyete, obsesyon ve kompulsiyon puanları PD grubunda anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız PD'nın özellikle depresyon ve OKB ile yakın ilişkisine dikkati çekmektedir.
