Alexithymia, anxiety, and depression in patients with vitiligo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aim: Characterized by hypopigmented cutaneous lesions, vitiligo is a chronic dermatological disease with psychosocial effects. The goal of our study is to search alexithymia, anxiety, and depression levels in vitiligo patients.Materials and Methods: In total, 50 vitiligo patients aged over 18 years and 70 healthy control subjects compatible with age and gender were evaluated. All participants filled in the questionnaires of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Beck Anxiety inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression inventory (BDI).Results: In vitiligo patients, depression and anxiety levels were meaningful higher than the controls (p = 0.009, p = 0.000, respectively), but there was no meaningful difference between alexithymia scores (p = 0.103). There was no correlation between psychiatric scale scores and disease duration, age, gender, and education levels in vitiligo patients. A positive correlation was determined between alexithymia levels and anxiety and depression levels in vitiligo.Conclusion: In this study, anxiety and depression levels were found to be high in patients with vitiligo. According to the results of our study, vitiligo should not only be evaluated dermatologically but also psychologically. In this way, we think that patients' compliance with treatment and treatment success will increase.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
