"The Rise of Digital Psychiatry: A New Era of Mental Health Care" Digital psychiatry is revolutionizing mental health care, providing accessible and personalized treatment options. From AI-driven diagnostic tools to telepsychiatry, technology is empowering patients and clinicians alike. Recent studies show that mobile mental health apps and virtual therapy sessions are effective in treating anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. As we embrace this digital shift, it’s crucial to consider the ethical implications and ensure data privacy. 💡 How do you see the future of psychiatry evolving in a digital world? #Psychiatry #MentalHealth #DigitalHealth #Telemedicine #Innovation **References**: 1.

A PGY4 psychiatry resident leaps to declaring "stop being so combative for no good reason" when myself, a survivor of repeated psychiatric medical abuse, attempts to self-advocate. This time regarding issues around documented issues of bigotry and prejudice in the evidence base used to justify abusive so-called "treatment" practices. Amazing how people in power always leap to framing any critique, of any kind, as "rude", "combative", etc. It's a classic rhetorical technique and common tactic of abusers. They deflect. They blame the person for "misreading them" even on objectively unclear or misleading language. The problem is never framed as them. They are always framed as "doing their best". The victim is always framed as "misunderstanding", "not being accommodating", etc. This is how doctors treat failed patients every day, across the world, when they speak out about harms within the medical profession. Zero accountability. Constant defensiveness. Constant abusive patterns of flipping the script, playing victim themselves, blaming the victim for any and all problems. and gaslighting, minimizing, or denying harms caused.

Research Update 🧠 Our latest research, led by Dr Russell Chander in collaboration with The University of Queensland has been published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. It explores the significant impact of mild cognitive impairment (#MCI) and #dementia on social skills. #Socialcognition — how we interpret others' thoughts and emotions — plays a critical role in maintaining relationships and navigating social interactions. We analysed data from over 300 adults aged 70-90 and found that both MCI and dementia affect people's ability to understand social cues, demonstrate empathy, and recognise facial expressions. These deficits become more noticeable as cognitive decline progresses, emphasising the importance of #earlydetection and #intervention. By understanding these changes, we can provide better support for individuals with dementia and MCI to help them remain #sociallyengaged and connected. 🔗 Learn more about the study: https://bit.ly/3XJDzDq 🔗 Journal article: https://bit.ly/47qMFrT Katya Numbers Karen Mather Nicole Kochan Perminder Sachdev UNSW UNSW Medicine & Health #brainhealth #healthyageing #CHeBA

🧠 **Spotlight on Geriatric Psychiatry: Essential Care for an Aging Population** 🌟 As our global demographic shifts towards an older age spectrum, the need for specialized mental health care intensifies. Geriatric psychiatry stands at the forefront of this challenge, dedicated to understanding and treating the unique complexities faced by the elderly. This specialized field combines medical, psychological, and social knowledge to address a range of issues from dementia to depression, anxiety, and late-life schizophrenia. With a thoughtful approach that respects the dignity of aging, geriatric psychiatrists strive to improve not only mental health but overall quality of life. As professionals, we must advocate for increased awareness and resources dedicated to this critical field. It's imperative to integrate comprehensive mental health services into geriatric care to ensure that our seniors receive the compassionate and specialized care they deserve. #Aging #MentalHealth #GeriatricPsychiatry #HealthcareInnovation

Did you know that between 2016 and 2021, Psychiatry (+26.3%) saw the second most growth in first-year ACGME fellows and residents? 💡 This growth is prominently due to lifestyle choices—in particular the ability to control one’s own calendar. As psychiatry grows, there has also been an increase in interest in telepsychiatry. This allows patients who do not have immediate access to mental health services (eg, those who live in rural communities) to receive care from trained psychiatric clinicians.
