Özet
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the cognitive distortions of adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with healthy controls. In addition, it is aimed to identify the relationship between the anxiety disorder comorbidity and cognitive distortions in adolescents with MDD. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional study and was conducted between March 2017 and March 2018 at Katip Çelebi University Faculty of Medicine and Abant İzzet Baysal University Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department. The diagnoses and comorbid conditions of the adolescents in the MDD group were evaluated using the Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia Interview Schedule for School Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version. The severity of depressive symptoms was evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Cognitive Distortions Scale (CDC). Results: During the study period, 82 individuals with MDD (mean age: 17.00 ± 0.75 years: 52 girls) and 90 healthy controls (mean age: 17.03±0.71 years: 61 girls) were included in the study. In the MDD group, all CDC subscales and total score were statistically significantly higher in comparison to those in healthy controls (p<.05). When the CDC subscales were compared between the groups with and without comorbid anxiety disorder in the MDD group; there were statistically significantly higher values in mind reading (=0.002), catastrophizing (<.001), labelling (p<.001), overgeneralization (p=.001) and total scores (p=.001) in the anxiety comorbidity group. We found a statistically significant correlation between BDI scores and all subscales of CDC. It was found that “labeling” in interpersonal domain and “personalization” in the personal achievement domain were the features that predicted BDI score. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that cognitive distortions were higher in adolescents with MDD, especially in those with comorbid anxiety disorder. Our findings emphasize the need to address cognitive distortions in MDD treatment. © Telif Hakkı 2021 Türkiye Çocuk ve Genç Psikiyatrisi Derneği / Çocuk ve Gençlik Ruh Sağlığı Dergisi, Galenos Yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmıştır.
