Abstract :Introduction: In this study, we aimed to compare the attachment styles and emotion regulation difficulties of adolescents with psychiatric disorders and healthy adolescents, and to examine the factors affecting attachment styles and emotion regulation difficulties. Material-methods: In this case-control study, DSM-5 diagnostic system was used for psychiatric diagnoses of adolescents, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (DERS-SF) was used to measure adolescents\' levels of emotional dysregulation, and Relationships Scales Questionnaire(RSQ) was used to assess attachment styles. Results: Major depressive disorder (MDD) (42.9%) was the most common psychiatric diagnosis. The lowest DERS-SF total score and the highest secure attachment were found in the control group (p 0.05). Conclusion: This study is important in terms of showing the positive effects of developing secure attachment and effective emotion regulation strategies in the field of preventive mental health. In this direction, awareness about the healthy parent-child relationship can be created in order to establish a secure attachment to the parents.Keywords : Psikiyatrik bozukluk, duygu düzenleme güçlüğü, bağlanma, ergen
