The present study examines whether the Positive Psychology course, which is given for 14 weeks and 3 hours per week to students at a university in Istanbul. 417 students participated. The study assessed pre- to post-test modifications in personal and mental wellbeing, happiness, satisfaction of life, emotional and social intelligence, emotional expressions and attachment styles factors. The findings showed that significant differences between male and female gender in emotional and social intelligence. Interestingly, positive psychology course effects the participants negatively in happiness, well-being, and social intelligence, unlike in emotional expression. It was necessary to discuss these results in a new perspective. The point reached at the end of the Positive Psychology course was not a happier life. Also, if the increase in awareness causes someone to find a deeper meaning, then happiness and well-being will be decreased at the beginning.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is an effective treatment option for treatment resistant depressive disorder. The presented case suggests that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation might be effective in inhibition of binge eating and purging behaviors. This case suggests that left dorsolateral prefrontal stimulation with high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation could be a potential treatment option for bulimia nervosa comorbid with depressive disorder

The aim of this study was to examine the validity and the reliability of the Turkish version of ADHD DSM scale. ADHD DSM Scale was applied in a sample of 225 persons. Simultaneously Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Self-report Scale (ASRS) scale was also applied and DİVA interview was used to ascertain the diagnosis in 45 indiviuals with suspected ADHD. The reliability, concurrrent validity and construct validity which is detected by factor analysis was found to be adequate. The Turkish Version of ADHD DSM Scale is a reliable and valid tool for scanning ADHD symptoms in adults.

This study aimed to investigate the radiation attenuation properties of seven brain regions namely Frontal, Occipital, Parietal, Temporal cortexes, Hippocampus, Thalamus and Cerebellum in terms of their elemental compositions. Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code System-extended (MCNPX) version 2.6.0 (Los Alamos National Lab, USA) general purpose Monte Carlo code has been employed in order to calculate the mass attenuation coefficients of those aforementioned brain regions. A satisfactory agreement has been obtained on the mass attenuation coefficients (µ/ρ) calculated by MCNPX and XCOM for those brain regions under investigation. The results underlined that Cerebellum has the highest mass attenuation coefficients in terms of the radiological energy values. This can be explained by the elemental mass fraction value of Chlorine (Cl) in Cerebellum. It could be deduced that the intensity of diagnostic radiation can be more attenuated in Cerebellum than rest of the brain regions during the brain CT or brain PET examinations. The data from the present paper would be useful for the use of standard simulation geometry and mass attenuation coefficients for medical physics as well as the applications of radiation physics.

In the earlier classification of diseases, we had the firm decision that psychopathology can be divided into two main groups:
Neurosis and Psychosis. But we are quite convinced that there are blur areas in between that can perfectly be defined as “partialsegmental
psychosis”. In the paper we discussed the topics.
