Varenicline is a new agent, commonly used to assist individuals with smoking cessation. There is an increase in case reports of psychiatric
disorders induced or activated by using the agent. Due to the agent’s mechanism of actions, it is possible to make this correlation. Patients
who have a mental illness or high-risk persons should be careful about using this drug. In this report, the case of a psychotic disorder
induced by varenicline is presented.

Catatonia refers to a broad group of movement abnormalities usually associated with schizophrenia, but also found in other disorders
such as mania, depression, many neurological disorders (especially those involving the basal ganglia, limbic system, diencephalon, and
frontal lobes), systemic metabolic disorders, and toxic drug states. Catatonia is often neglected when screening and examining psychiatric
patients. Undiagnosed catatonia can increase morbidity and mortality, illustrating the need to effectively screen patients for presence
of catatonia, as well as their response to treatment. We describe the clinical presentation of catatonia in a 32 year-old woman with
schizoaffective disorder and in a 25 year-old woman with severe psychotic depression.
Key words: Catatonia, mood disorders, depression

Bacgrounds and Objective: Even though attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been considered as a childhood disorder
for a long time, currently it is widely accepted that this is a disorder that continues well into adulthood. Attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) is a chronic developmental psychiatric disorder, which starts in early childhood, although its primary symptoms can
still be observed in adulthood. The main symptoms are attention loss, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity which result in mental, social,
and educational/occupational problems in adulthood (1). The current study aimed to study the relationship of incarceration, suicide
attempts, depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in men, who had been diagnosed with antisocial personality
disorder (APD). There are previous studies in the literature for equivalent diagnoses (2,3). METHODS: A total of 80 subjects, 44 of whom
were diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder according to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria in Ankara Military Hospital psychiatry
clinic and 36 controls, who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis were included in the study. The subjects had been administered a semistructured
interview form for identifying their demographic properties, criminal history, and past suicide attempts. The subjects had also
