There is little acknowledgement that a true disease is likely to rise and fall in incidence. In outlining the North Wales History of Mental Illness project, this paper seeks to provide some evidence that psychiatric diseases do rise and fall in incidence, along with evidence as to how such ideas are received by other historians of psychiatry and by biological psychiatrists. Keywords Disease, historical epidemiology, medical progress, post-partum psychoses, schizophrenia The twenty-fifth anniversary of the History of Psychiatry provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate its editor who has had a huge influence on all aspects of the history outlined below.

  • Summary Eating Disorders Are a Growing Concern Amongst Adolescent Populations
    Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology Chris Rogers Case Study 1: An Evidence-Based Practice Review Report Theme: School Based Interventions for Learning How effective are school-based universal preventive interventions at reducing eating disorder risk factors in adolescent males? Summary Eating disorders are a growing concern amongst adolescent populations. It has been argued that school-based universal preventive interventions are a convenient way to try and address this issue due to their wide-reaching access to adolescents in society through the education system. Interventions of this kind can be administered to whole cohorts of adolescents with the aim of ameliorating risk factors of eating disorders, preventing acquisition of eating disorders in later life. Research around eating disorders typically focuses on females due to larger numbers of diagnoses in this population, but males are becoming more of a focus due to their increasing rates of diagnoses. Research suggests though that preventive interventions for eating disorders are developed around findings focussed on females. This review analysed studies to assess how effective these kinds of interventions are with male adolescents. After in depth analysis of five studies, it was found that these interventions have little impact on reducing risk factors for eating disorders with male adolescents. Issues regarding the measures used by the studies and bias towards the needs of females were discussed, as well as areas for future development. 1 Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology Chris Rogers Introduction The prevalence of eating disorders in adolescent populations has been of significance for many years and is still an ongoing area of research (Maganto, Garaigordobil, & Kortabarria, 2016; Muise, Stein, & Arbess, 2003; Neumark-Sztainer, 1996; Shisslak, Crago, Neal, & Swain, 1987).

  • Biological Psychiatry Sketched—Past, Present, and Future
    1 BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY SKETCHED—PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Jaak Panksepp J.P. Scott Center for Neuroscience Mind & Behavior, Department of Psychology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio OVERTURE It is a difficult task to capture the history of biological psychiatry in a brief essay. Let me frame this modest effort in a timeless humanistic perspective. Psychiatry is the study and treatment of troubled mental lives. Its ultimate goal is to heal broken spirits. At its core, it is an attempt to better understand human thoughts and emotions and to allow this understanding to inform the healing arts. Despite our modern scientific hubris, we know rather little about how brains truly construct our minds and passions. Partly, this is because few scholars have come to terms with the need to understand the evolutionary neural dynamics that affective experiences are ultimately made of. It is all too easy to accept emotions as primitive “givens” and proceed toward a superficial understanding based on words, arbitrary definitions, and the quiddities of logic rather than biology. But the greater and more significant Textbook of Biological Psychiatry, Edited by Jaak Panksepp ISBN 0-471-43478-7 Copyright 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 3 4 BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY SKETCHED—PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE depths of this mystery have to be plumbed by an integrative neuroscience that has barely emerged. It is surely not off the mark to claim that the single most important scientific question for biological psychiatry is the accurate decoding of the basic neural nature of affective values and related cognitive experiences. Emotions and moods guide most of our thinking processes and behavioral choices, whether well-arranged or deranged.

  • Genetics Contributes to Mental Health Risks in Adoptees
    Media contact Rhiannon Bugno +1 214 648 0880 [email protected] Genetics contributes to mental health risks in adoptees Genetics and early life stress both important factors for mental health problems in adults adopted as children, says large genetic risk study in Biological Psychiatry Philadelphia, January 29, 2020 – The adoption of children is a fundamental method of building families. However, adoptees may face subsequent adaptive challenges associated with family stress at the time of birth and during the adoption process. It should be no surprise, then, that adoptees have a small but well-known increased risk for depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders. The health effect has been attributed to stressful early childhoods. But genetics also plays a role, according to a large new study published in Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier. “We found adopted individuals on average had a somewhat higher genetic risk for mental health problems, but the effects are quite small,” said lead author Kelli Lehto, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. “Overall, the main message here is that both environment and genetics are important.” Psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety and schizophrenia are, to varying degrees, heritable. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a growing number of genetic markers associated with the risk for most major psychiatric disorders so that a ‘polygenic risk score’ for these disorders may be estimated. Dr. Lehto and colleagues analyzed the genomic and health information data of 243,797 participants in the UK Biobank, a major health resource established by the Wellcome Trust and others, including a group of 3,151 who were adopted as children within Britain, mostly in the 1950s and 1960s.

To defi ne a practice guideline for biological treatment of dementia and to make transparent the development of the guideline connecting the original data with the resulting recommendations. Methods. This guideline includes pharma- cologic treatment considerations for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, DLB, and fronto-temporal dementia. Studies were selected that represent double-blind placebo-controlled trials of at least 3 months duration in patients with a diagnosis of dementia according to accepted international diagnostic criteria (for example the NINCDS/ ADRDA or NINDS/AIREN criteria). Moreover, to be included studies had to fulfi ll a restrictive set of methodological criteria. Original studies and not meta-analyses determined the evaluation and the development of recommendations. Results. Antidementia pharmaceuticals neither cure nor arrest the disease.

Much of the psychological literature on stigma focuses on individual attributes and interactions at the micro level, rather than macro level dynamics. In critiquing this traditional focus, Link and Phelan (2001) present a model in which stigma ensues when labeling, stereotyping, separation, status loss, and discrimination co-occur in a situation of power imbalance.

Rhodes, Professor of Anthropology, University of Washington August, 2004 Overview This report introduces scholars interested in the history of psychiatry to the extraordinary collection in the HMD and NLM. This collection is unparalleled for its coverage of time and place in great depth and breadth, for its possession of immense numbers of unique audiovisual and print materials and for its invaluable holdings of manuscripts and oral histories. We have arranged our report in 10 major sections as listed below. Our time frame is primarily from the 19th century to the 1970s. For each major section we have organized items from the library in subsections by topic, date, location, or format. Within each subsection, we have listed only a small selection of materials available in the library, a selection we have chosen to illustrate the large range of sources the collection contains: scientific monographs, federal or state reports, personal accounts, conference proceedings, legal briefs, armed service publications, mass market publications, teaching materials, monographs on psychiatric ethics, treatment, or social effects, manuscripts, audiovisual materials, ephemera, and so on. For a guide to the current scholarly literature on all these topics, the HMD web site contains an extremely useful set of syllabi used in teaching the history of psychiatry in the US and the UK.
