ÇOCUKLUK ÇAĞINDA OTİZM SPEKTRUM BOZUKLUĞU TANISI OLAN HASTALARIN ERİŞKİN DÖNEMİNDE ALDIĞI PSİKİYATRİK TANILAR

Abstract

Amaç: OSB; belirtileri ömür boyu devam eden nörogelişimsel bir bozukluktur. Çocukluk çağında OSB’yi araştıran çok sayıda araştırma bulunmaktadır ancak OSB hastalarının erişkinlik dönemini inceleyen az sayıda araştırma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı çocukluk çağında Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu tanısı olan hastaların erişkin döneminde aldığı psikiyatrik tanıları incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya; 2006-2023 yılları arasında, çocuk ve ergen ruh sağlığı ve hastalıkları polikliniğine başvurup otizm tanısı alan ve erişkin dönemde psikiyatri polikliniğine başvurup tanı alan 28 hasta alınmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların erişkinlik döneminde aldıkları tanılar incelendiğinde; hastaların %35,6’sının mental retardasyon (MR), %21,4’ünün çocukluk otizmi ve MR, %7,2’sinin atipik otizm ve MR, %7,1’inin atipik otizm, %7,1’inin MR ve psikotik bozukluk, %7,1’inin yaygın gelişimsel bozukluk, %3,6’sının yaygın gelişimsel bozukluk ve hafif MR, %3,6’sının anksiyete bozukluğu, %3,6’sının çocukluk otizmi ve anksiyete bozukluğu, %3,6’sının davranış bozukluğu, %3,6’sının hafif MR ve dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB), %3,6’sının otizm, orta MR ve DEHB tanısı aldığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: OSB belirtileri erişkin yaşta devam eden ve çoğunlukla başka psikiyatrik bozuklukların görüldüğü bir rahatsızlıktır. Hastaların erişkin dönemde klinik sorunları ve tanısal özellikleri farklılık göstermektedir. Bu nedenlerle bu hastaların erişkin dönem belirtilerinin ve klinik gidişatının araştırılmasının hastalar için en uygun ve etkili tedavi programlarının belirlenmesinde yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Psychiatric Diagnosis Received By Patients Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Childhood in The Adult Period

Abstract

Objective: ASD; It is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose symptoms persist throughout life. There are many studies investigating ASD in childhood, but there are few studies examining the adulthood of ASD patients. The aim of this study is to examine the psychiatric diagnoses received in adulthood by patients diagnosed with ASD in childhood. Method: To work; Between 2006 and 2023, 28 patients who applied to the child and adolescent mental health and diseases outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with autism, and who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic in adulthood and were diagnosed, were included. Results: When the diagnoses received by the patients in adulthood are examined; %35.6 of the patients had mental retardation (MR), %21.4 had childhood autism and MR, %7.2 had atypical autism and MR, %7.1 had atypical autism, %7.1 had MR and psychotic disorder, %7.1 with pervasive developmental disorder, %3.6 with pervasive developmental disorder and mild MR, %3.6 with anxiety disorder, %3.6 with childhood autism and anxiety disorder, %3.6 were diagnosed with conduct disorder, %3.6 with mild MR and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and %3.6 with autism, moderate MR and ADHD, It was found that. Conclusion: ASD is a disorder whose symptoms continue into adulthood and is often accompanied by other psychiatric disorders. Clinical problems and diagnostic features of patients in adulthood vary. For these reasons, it is thought that investigating the adult symptoms and clinical course of these patients will be useful in determining the most appropriate and effective treatment programs for the patients.
