TI  - Depression and its 6-month course in untreated hemodialysis patients: a 
      preliminary prospective follow-up study in Turkey.
PG  - 243-6
AB  - The major goal of this study is to assess the frequency of psychiatric disorders 
      in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, who were on hemodialysis (HD) 
      treatment in Turkey. Additionally, it aims to determine whether depression, 
      anxiety, and functional and occupational levels of patients who did not receive 
      any psychiatric treatments change at the end of 6 months. We conducted Structured 
      Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV, Clinical Version on 50 HD patients, and 16 
      (32%) fulfilled the criteria for a psychiatric disorder. Depressive disorder, not 
      otherwise specified, was observed in 12 (24%) patients. Adjustment disorder with 
      depressed mood and dysthymic disorder were observed in 8% of our population. 
      Fourteen patients were followed up for 6 months. All patients were assessed with 
      Hamilton Depression (HDRS), Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), and Global Assessment of 
      Functioning (GAF) at baseline and at 6 months. The comparisons of baseline and 6 
      months HDRS, HARS, and GAF scale scores did not reveal any statistically 
      significant differences in 14 depressed patients. The level of depression, 
      anxiety, and functional and occupational impairment did not remit spontaneously 
      in our untreated depressed HD patients. We believe that further studies regarding 
      categorization, prognosis, and treatment of these patients are needed to better 
      understand what to do when we encounter depressive ESRD patients.
