    Object: This study was conducted to evaluate child psychiatry consultations of patients which were stayed in different clinics in a university hospital. Methods: The records of the patients who were consulted in between 01.07.2016 and 31.12.2016 and was made diagnosis according to DSM5 was scanned restrospectively. The sociodemographic information of the patients, the diagnosis of physical illness, the clinic requested for consultation, the reason for the consultation, the psychiatric diagnoses determined in the consultation result and the psychiatric treatment process were analyzed by using the SPSS 15.0 program. Results: Psychiatric consultation was requested for 55 inpatient children within a sixmonth period. %63,6 of consulted cases was a girl, %36,4 of them was a boy and the average age was found as 13,2 ± 3,6. When the consultations were evaluated, it was determined that the 23,6% of the patients were consulted for suicide attempt and 83,6% of them had at least one mental disorder. The most common diagnosis was major depression in the rate of 36,4% and psychotropic treatment was recommended to 38,2% of evaluated cases because of the psychiatric disorder. Discussion: In our study, it was found that the consultation rates were low despite the rate of psychopathology (83,4%) was rather high in consulated children and adolescents. This suggests that the doctors who are working in non-psychiatric areas are having difficulty understanding and evaluating the psychiatric symptoms in children and that the cooperation among physicians should be increased so that psychiatric illnesses can be better recognized. © 2017 ANP Publishing.

    Paliperidone metabolic effects in children and adolescents: A case report
    (ANP Publishing, 2017) Kefal M.I.; Kandemir H.; Sapmaz S.Y.; Öztürk M.; Özkan Y.; Özkan O.G.
    The use of atypical antipsychotics in children and adolescents has increased in recent years. A 16-year-old male patient reported that he had used paliperidone for 3 years and had gained weight during this period. Various laboratory tests were performed when the patient started treatment in our clinic. It is evident from the test result that 3-year use of paliperidone dramatically increased fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides and prolactin levels in the patient. The metabolic parameters of the patient decreased into the normal range once the medication was stopped. Thus, paliperidone should be used carefully based on the side effects for patients under 18 years of age. © 2017 ANP Publishing. All rights reserved.
