The April issue of our ECAP journal is out: https://lnkd.in/dPNE4S-M Editorial by Carmen Moreno: Child psychiatry cannot afford not to properly study differences by sex The April issue of ECAP covers relevant, yet understudied, topics for child and adolescent psychiatry practice. Among others, it covers differences by sex in clinical presentation, response, and outcome of psychiatric disorders, the impact of potentially preventable factors on cognition and mental health, and the inclusion of users’ views on treatment evaluation. Given the current trends towards developing precision psychiatry approaches in child psychiatry, including sex and sex-related outcomes in research that informs child and adolescent mental health clinical practice should be standard practice. #youthmentalhealth #childpsychiatry #psychiatryresearch #adolescentpsychiatry #mentalhealth #mentalhealthresearch #ECAP #ESCAP

Revolutionizing Mental Health Care: Remote Psychiatry Platform The mental healthcare landscape is evolving thanks to technological innovations that improve the effectiveness and accessibility of mental health services.  In-person consultations are valuable but often face limits like long waiting periods, geographical barriers, travel costs, and stigmas associated with visits to a mental health professional. Remote psychiatry has emerged as a response. It’s a flexible and discreet option for patients and mental health care providers.  Psych 1 is a great example of a dedicated psychiatric telehealth provider revolutionizing the practice and delivery of psychiatry in Australia. Let’s discover why digital innovations like this platform hold immense transformative potential. https://lnkd.in/dQwhe28N #telehealth #onlinehelp #digital #remotepsychiatry

Be bear aware! Read on why, and why elderly psychiatry deserves our attention... In 'big' media, we are increasingly reading about general elderly care; we stand on the brink of an aging population and there is already a significant shortage of care. The pressing issue makes elderly care hot. Increasing attention for general elderly care is accompanied by new, inspiring initiatives in the Netherlands, such as BeterOud and Reable Nederland. Although I am wondering to what extent these initiatives cater to elderly psychiatric patients: how can we provide the best care for these patients, focusing on contemporary ideas of autonomy and recovery? How do we organize continuity and safety of care for those with psychiatric problems? Those more vulnerable, when many caregivers get involved while there is tiny to zero support network. In the national Dutch mental health guideline 'Elderly with psychological disorders', two important pillars of care are mentioned: matched care: how to quickly get the patient to the most suitable caregiver, and collaborative care: thorough collaboration between caregivers from different sectors.* Both are familiar challenges in psychiatric care yet. Ensuring them for elderly patients is proven to be even more complex due to several factors, including the complex interplay between psyche and somatics, making the elderly patient vulnerable. Fog and delya occur during diagnostics. On top, due to the change in life stage they experiences losses and role changing occurs. To me this justifies a separate specialized framework for care in elderly psychiatry. It surprises me that this target group receives little attention in that same media. And 'madly' enough, there has been little research to date on the organization of elderly care specifically within psychiatry. We are aware of the bears, but the most tricky ones out there (watch out for the white-tailed deer in the US!) are not mentioned. I am very curious to hear what the Danes can tell and teach us about the organisation of care in elderly psychiatric patients... To be continued! * https://lnkd.in/gCnvXa3i

How cool is this that Vogue is talking about TMS, depression, and adolescents!? So can we call TMS high fashion now? I would certainly call it high psychiatry… But it should be accessible to all with depression and 2+ med failures (and no contradictions). TMS should not be a luxury. I am the proud owner of an FDA cleared neurocare group Apollo TMS device at Sweetgrass Psychiatry - Mount Pleasant, SC location. I have witnessed this device heal a lot of difficult to treat depression. It fills my public health oriented soul to charge insurance for this treatment instead of my patients. https://lnkd.in/eAc8QSza #transcranialmagneticstimulation #tms #hope #depression
