The death toll since its completion in 1937 is about 2000. Two a month still jump to their deaths. The bridge is tragically known as the number one suicide site in the world. As the medical director for 25 years of a psychiatric unit less than five miles from the bridge, I interviewed many potential jumpers. I was instrumental in launching the final drive for a suicide barrier, which began in 2004 [1]. At the time, I was president of the Northern California Psychiatric Society’s foundation. From this vantage point, I turned our attention to a suicide barrier. #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia

Preliminary study   Author(s): J Muriel-Fernández; C Muriel Villoria; MJ Sánchez Ledesma; JM Gonçalves Estella; JM López Millán Journal: Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment   Journal ISSN: 2640-8031 Abstract: Background: Pain and anxiety caused by prolonged treatment of neuropathic pain can result in discomfort for patients. Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that is capable of entertaining and distracting the user. Among its many applications, we find the improvement of pain management and the reduction of anxiety in patients undergoing medical treatment. Objective: We aim to publish the protocol of a clinical trial for the reduction of pain and anxiety after a couple of VR sessions in patients with neuropathic pain that is difficult to treat. #VirtualReality; #Pain; #NeuropathicPain; #Anxiety #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia

To this aim, more than 180 hours of observation of a four-year-old male case in the field, together with interviews of parents and a relative, were analyzed qualitatively. Findings demonstrated a strong enthusiasm by the DS child to get involved in social communication. Although the DS child did not clearly understand the context of communication in terms of the rules for manner (mainly politeness and face), and he also lacked a sound understanding of the social functions to negotiate the meaning, he could differentiate among different settings in which there is need for a range of communication degrees. With mental and physiological issues contributing to problems with language production, the case had developed a limited repertoire, including voices, some fixed words or expressions, and mostly gestures to help him make requests. #DownSyndrome #Requesting #LanguageProduction #Politeness #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia

Methods: Updated the Perrotta-Marciano Questionnaire on the state of awareness of one’s deviant and criminal behaviors (ADCB-Q), from 30 items to 40 items and with 2 subscales to differentiate deviant from antisocial behaviors (ADCB-Q-2), to make comparisons with the Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (DBVS) and the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R). #PerrottaMarciano #DeviantBehaviors #CriminalBehaviors #DeviantAndCriminalBehaviors #ADCBQ #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia

Methods: Using the Perrotta Hypersexuality Global Spectrum of Gradation (PH-GSS) as a model, the clinical and control population was selected to validate a new psychometric test, then compared with the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST-R, v. 2.0). #PerrottaHypersexualityQuestionnaire #Hypersexuality #Nymphomania #Satyriasis #SexualArousal #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia

https://lnkd.in/g5qk52NU                                                                    Article title: Comparison of two questionnaires (PDQ-39 and SEIQoL) for assessment of the quality of life in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease   Author(s): Lena Waldvogel; Ketevan Toloraia; Peter Fuhr; Ute Gschwandtner* Journal: Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment   Journal ISSN: 2640-8031 Abstract: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that begins insidiously and progresses over time with a loss of nerve cells in certain brain regions. People with chronic diseases often experience a change in their quality of life. For patients, relatives, and the whole community, a reduced quality of life can pose a significant burden. Therefore, it is imperative to reduce socioeconomic costs to preserve high health quality in patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Parkinson’s disease can cause people to have difficulty performing daily activities such as working or shopping. It is not uncommon for social interaction to be impaired, as patients sometimes struggle to participate in social life due to their symptomatology. The quality of life of Parkinson’s disease patients can be measured in different ways. A distinction can be made between Health-related Quality of Life and Individualised Quality of Life. Several questionnaires and screening tools are investigating the Quality of Life in patients with Parkinson’s disease. However, their validity and practicability are often not extensively analyzed. #ParkinsonsDisease #PDQ39 #SEIQoL #QualityOfLife #Neurodegeneration #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia

https://lnkd.in/eyP5zZce                                                                   Article title: A mixed-methods study protocol on the psychosocial health of stroke survivors and their informal carers (CARESS): experiences, needs and quality of life   Author(s): Ana Moura, Filipa Teixeira, Conceição Nogueira, Ana Henriques, Cláudia de Freitas, Elisabete Alves Journal: Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment   Journal ISSN: 2640-8031 Abstract: Introduction: Surviving a stroke and caring for a survivor, impacts individuals’ psychological health and quality of life, which may impose substantial costs on healthcare and social systems. This study aims to understand and explore the psychological health, experiences, needs and quality of life of Portuguese stroke survivors and their informal carers. Methods and analysis: This is a mixed-methods, observational study. The methodological strategy relies on 1) scoping review; 2) questionnaires to stroke survivors hospitalized between September 2018 and August 2019 in one of the 12 Stroke Units of the Northern Region Health Administration of Portugal and their informal carers, 18-24 months after the event (1775 survivors and 443 carers); and 3) semi-structured interviews to a subsample of stroke survivors (n = 49) and informal carers (n = 37); and 4) think tanks with stakeholders involved in the stroke rehabilitation process, namely stroke survivors, informal carers, researchers, and health and social professionals (n = 45). Descriptive and inferential statistics will be used to analyze the quantitative data, and content and interpretational analysis will be implemented to assess qualitative data. #Caregivers #MixedMethods #NeedsAssessment #QualityOfLife #Stroke #Survivors #BiologicalPsychiatry #Psychopharmacotherapy #PsychologicalMedicine #ForensicPsychiatry #SocialPsychiatry #Sociotherapy #PTSD #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #ChildAndAdolescentPsychiatry #AddictionPsychiatry #MoodDisorders #Nosography #Schizophrenia
