Özet:

 ABSTRACT Objective: The role of magnesium in the pathophysiology of depression has increased the interest in magnesium. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate serum magnesium levels in patients diagnosed with depressive disorder who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic. Materials and Methods: The data of 1013 patients who were diagnosed with depressive disorder and whose serum magnesium levels were measured were included in the study by retrospectively scanning the data of the patients who had applied to the Psychiatry outpatient clinic of Balıkesir University Faculty of Medicine between July 2020 and July 2022. Since the serum glucose, GGT and creatinine values were above their reference ranges in 183 of 1013 patients included in the study, the data of these patients were excluded from the analysis. Results: Serum magnesium values of 12.9 of female and 9.1 of male patients were below the reference values 1.9-2.7 mgdl. The mean SD magnesium values of all patients, female and male patient groups were statistically significantly different from the population mean. 2.020.15 mgdl, 2.010.16 mgdl and 2.040.15 mgdl ; P0.001, P0.001, and P0.001, respectively. No statistically significant relationship was observed between magnesium levels and age of the patients. Conclusion: In our study, hypomagnesemia was observed in 11.9 of patients with a diagnosis of depressive disorder. For this reason, we thought that if hypomagnesemia is detected in patients followed up with depressive disorder, its replacement may be important as it may be effective in reducing depressive symptoms. Keywords: Magnesium, Depression, Adjunctive therapy, Antidepressants.
