Both Hp and psychiatric symptoms can affect dyspepsia. However, it has not been researched whether Hp causes the psychiatric symptoms or not. In this study, it has been researched whether HP causes the psychiatric symptoms or not. Method: of the patients who applied with the problem of dyspepsia and were directed for endoscopy, 118 were evaluated. Scl-90 scale was applied. Those who proved biochemically and histopatologically HP and those who do not were compared. Results: It has been established that there is no meaningful difference in both groups in terms of somatization, obsessive-compulsive features, sensibility in interpersonal relations, anxiety, anger and hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid thinking and psychoticism. While HP group got higher scores from the sub-groups of anxiety, obsession, depression, interpersonal sensibility, psychotic, paranoid and General Symptom Index , the HP (-) group got higher scores from sub-scales of somatization, anger and from additional ones. The scores that the both groups have obtained from the somatization sub-scale are above eleven, which is cutoff score.
