	interRAI
		In Canada InterRAI members have been involved in developing a per diem case mix model SCIPP for describing resource use in all adult in-patient psychiatric settings including acute, long stay, forensic and geriatric psychiatry units.
		The Government of Ontario has announced its intention to mandate the use of the RAI-MH in in-patient psychiatry with the ultimate expectation that resources will be allocated based on the case mix algorithm derived from RAI-MH data.
		Case mix is by definition a system that classifies people into groups that are homogeneous in their use of resources.

	Forensic Psychiatry & Medicine: The Rebirth of Forensic Psychiatry
		Rather, it is the forensic psychiatrist's responsibility to communicate effectively (with a view toward the degree of proof or certainty required under applicable law) the complex interactions among mind, brain states, and behavior.
		The mixed results of appellate court decisions in California(103) and elsewhere(22,27,60,76) concerning the admissibility of evidence of diminished capacity in recent years show the courts to be ambivalent in their wish to be informed by a deep human understanding.
		Thus, the controversy over diminished capacity serves as a test case of the acceptance and legitimacy of psychiatry in the courtroom.

	FDA Antidepressant Suicide Warning
		My main point is that the extreme reactions I had to the SSRI, (which in hindsight resembled similar actions and states-of-mind back in college and high school,) were due to the fact that I was misdiagnosed years ago, as a teenager, as having Unipolar Major Depression.
		I think it needs to be explained more thoroughly that when SSRIs are given to people who have an underlying predisposition to bipolar disorder, it can actually usher in a manic, hypomanic, or mixed episode among those people who are taking them.
		Larry Greenhill MD, a child and adolescent psychiatrist representing the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, testified that many child psychiatrists have found antidepressants useful for treating their patients, but did emphasize the need for kids to be “carefully diagnosed,” and “in a well-monitored treatment program.”

		Outcome studies of bipolar disorder, the majority of which were conducted before the use of lithium, divalproex, and carbamazepine, generally found that only 50 to 60% of patients achieved good recovery 6 to 12 months after a manic episode.

	Hallucination -
		When psychodynamic (Freudian) theories were popular in psychiatry, hallucinations were seen as a projection of unconscious wishes and desires.
		Hallucinations may occur in any sensory modality - visual, auditory, olfaction, gustatory, tactile, or mixed.
		A hallucination is a sensory perception experienced in the absence of an external stimulus, as distinct from an illusion, which is a misperception of an external stimulus.

		Mixed cortical and subcortical components of the vascular dementia may be suspected from the clinical features, the results of investigations (including autopsy), or both.
		Vascular dementia may coexist with dementia in Alzheimer's disease (to be coded F00.2), as when evidence of a vascular episode is superimposed on a clinical picture and history suggesting Alzheimer's disease.
		Vascular (formerly arteriosclerotic) dementia, which includes multi-infarct dementia, is distinguished from dementia in Alzheimer's disease by its history of onset, clinical features, and subsequent course.

	Vaporize Me - Is inhalable alcohol a good idea? By Amanda Schaffer
		Indeed, as Robert Swift, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown Medical School, told me, when researchers want to model alcohol addiction in ratsâ”in order to study withdrawal and other phenomenaâ”they often expose them to air mixed with vaporized alcohol.
		The legality of AWOLâ”at least for venues licensed to serve alcohol in New York stateâ”seems to turn on two relatively obscure provisions of the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control law â”a law enacted in 1934, shortly after the repeal of Prohibition (in 1933).
		This is because vaporized alcohol, as it enters the bloodstream directly from the lungs, is not subject to the protective effects of the digestive systemâ”notably, the impulse to vomit.

	Biological Psychiatry and Labeling Theory, by Thomas Scheff
		To be sure, the continuing evidence for the labeling theory of mental illness is still sparse and mixed; a mixture of positive and negative findings.
		There were encouraged also by the hubris of the original theory, which overstated the importance of labeling.
		Even acknowledging the initial spate of studies which failed to support the labeling theory of mental illness, Gove’s recommendation that it be abandoned also arose out of the unfavorable comparison he made between labeling and psychiatric theory.

	Physical Therapy: Patients in general practice in Denmark referred to physiotherapists: A description of patient characteristics based on general health status, diagnoses, and sociodemographic characteristics
		Participating and nonparticipating GPs did not differ in terms of sex, type of practice (solo/group), locale (rural/ city/mixed), number of GPs in the practice, and self-reported knowledge and experience in the fields of rheumatology, physical therapy, and psychiatry.
		Of the patients referred to physiotherapists by general practitioners in Denmark, the subgroup with poorly defined diagnoses had lower mental health scores than those with well-defined diagnoses, suggesting that a biopsychosocial approach to care may be appropriate for this group of patients.
		An increase in referrals to physiotherapists has been observed in the last few years, and the reason for this increase is unknown.3 Forty-three percent of the patients seeing their GP about a musculoskeletal illness report subsequent referral to a physiotherapist.17

		High therapeutic azapirone doses may also imply some modulation of obsessionality and weak antidepressant effects.
