Introduction Maternal psychopathology can have a server effect
on the ability of mothers to attach to their children.
Aim To ascertain the level of attachment of adults between the
ages of 18–25 years of age who were raised by mothers who suffer
from schizophrenic disorders and depressive spectrum disorders,
then compared to adults who were raised by mothers with no for-
mal clinical diagnosis.
Method This study used the Adult Attachment Questioner (AAQ),
by Simpson Rholes Philips (1996) to ascertain the level of attach-
ment of adults between the ages of 18–25 years of age who were
raised by mothers who suffer from schizophrenic disorders (n = 30)
and depressive spectrum disorders (n = 30). The findings of these
two groups were then compared to adults who were raised by
mothers with no formal clinical diagnosis (n = 30).
Result The findings indicated that there is a significant difference
between adults who were raised by mothers with the afore-
mentioned mental disorders (schizophrenic and depression), as
compared to those who were raised by mentally healthy mothers.
Conclusion The style of attachment in adults who were raised by
mothers with the aforementioned clinical diagnosis (schizophrenic
and depression) have insecure attachments, while the children
who were raised by mentally healthy mothers have almost secure
attachment style.

Introduction Impulsivity may be related to an anxious antic-
ipation of pain. It might explain an increased consumption of
symptomatic treatments in migraine patients, one of main risk fac-
tors for Chronic Migraine (CM). Plutchik Scale (PS) is a screening
test designed to assess impulsive behaviours grouped in four sub-
scales: ability to plan, control of emotional states, control of basic
behaviours, and control of other behaviours.
We aim to analyze influence of impulsivity on CM or Medication
Overuse (MO).
Methods Patients attended in an outpatient headache office in a
tertiary hospital (January 2013–January 2015). Episodic migraine
(EM), CM and MO diagnosed accordingly to International Classifi-
cation of Headache Disorders, III edition. Patients answered PS (15
multiple choice items, positive if score > 20). We analysed results
including four subscales.
Results Two hundred and thirty-nine patients (34 males, 205
females), age 38.1 ±11 years (range: 18–70). One hundred and
sixty-one cases (67.4%) CM and, among them, 115 (71.4%) withMO.
Plutchik score 13.1 ± 6.8 (1–40); 36 patients (15.1%) met criteria for
impulsivity. Considering subscales 12.6% of patients were over the
cut-point regarding ability to plan, 20.5% for emotional states, 4.6%
for common behaviours and 26.4% for other behaviours. We found
no differences in Plutchik or subscales scores or presence of impul-
sivity when comparing EM and CM groups and CM patients with or
without MO.
Conclusion In our migraine population, impulsivity assessed by
Plutchik scale is frequent, mainly when considering emotional
states or common behaviours. However, neither Plutchik nor sub-
scales scores correlated with CM or MO.

Introduction Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most com-
monly diagnosed functional gastrointestinal disorders. Irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) and its association with stress have not been
researched in regards to foreign medical students in Cluj-Napoca,
Romania.
Objective To establish the prevalence of IBS in foreign medical
school students and the relationship with stress.
Methods This observational case-controlled study was carried
out in “Iuliu Hatieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in
Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The sample size was 102, and the data was
collected using an online self-report questionnaire. The ‘Rome 3 cri-
teria’ was used to diagnose IBS and ‘Stressful Life Events Check-list’
was used to measure levels of stress.
Results The prevalence of IBS was 24.5%, with females having
higher rates (34%) compared tomales (16.4%). The types of IBSwere
IBS-M (mixed form) 8.8%, IBS-D (diarrhoea dominant) 6.9%, IBS-C
(constipation dominant) 5.9% and IBS-U (undefined) 2.9%. Students
with IBS reportedhigher social stress compared to studentswithout
IBS.
Conclusions More efforts should be made to combat stress that
medical students experience in order to reduce the number of IBS
cases. This may involve an increased role of the medical school to
develop initiatives and support, with the aim of helping medical
school students better cope with stress and stressful events.
