Are Psychedelics the New Frontier in Mental Health? Last year, Australia authorised psychiatrists to prescribe psychedelics like MDMA and psilocybin for controlled therapy. As this development unfolds, so do questions about safety, ethics, and the balance of scientific innovation with public health priorities.

Building on The Lancet Psychiatry's Commission on transforming mental health implementation research, I am pleased to share our latest correspondence discussing de-implementation to reduce coercive practices in mental health care. Led by PhD student Sophie Sergerie-Richard, co-supervised with Marie-Hélène Goulet, this article underscores the urgent need to leverage implementation science methods to de-implement coercive practices such as seclusion and restraint. We highlight the necessity of designing, developing, and evaluating tailored, equity-focused de-implementation strategies.

Stop after stop, SHE will find her TRUE! My thesis based on this novel "The Girl of the Mental Stop. Do not miss the train. " exposes how the topic of “madness” in the face of brain diseases in women has developed and evolved. From the level of disciplines such as psychiatry and psychology but also, analyzing it from a gender perspective, women have historically been described as “mentally inferior”, “crazy” or “mentally insane”, as a consequence of an existing patriarchy in Medicine. It is interesting to delve into this topic, for a more in-depth investigation. I appreciate any comments that can help us all. __________________ __________________ #GenderedMadness #MadWomen #MentalHealthGenderGap #FeministPsychiatry #braininjury #WomenAndMentalHealth #IntersectionalMadness #brain #FeministPerspectives #FeministLiteraryAnalysis #MadnessAndGenderJustice

Peter D. Kramer, MD, Clinical Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University, returns to fiction with Death of the Great Man, a gripping novel that intertwines political intrigue with ethical dilemmas in psychiatry. The story follows Providence psychiatrist Henry Farber as he confronts a dangerous demagogue’s rise to power and mysterious death. Kramer’s novel also probes deeper questions: How do you maintain empathy for harmful individuals? And in an increasingly divided society, what moral lines should we hold? A thought-provoking work from the acclaimed author of Listening to Prozac. 🔗:

☑️ *READ ABSTRACT BELOW:* Keywords: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs); early‐life adversity; meta‐analysis; umbrella review. Part 1: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) significantly impact lifelong health and well-being. Despite extensive research, a comprehensive understanding of ACEs' multifaceted impacts continues to be challenging to achieve. This study synthesizes meta-analytic evidence to provide a comprehensive view of ACEs' effects, addressing various approaches to conceptualizing ACEs and their diverse outcomes. Employing an umbrella synthesis methodology, this review integrated findings from 99 meta-analyses involving 592 effect sizes. We examined ACEs through specificity, lumping, dimensional, and child maltreatment-centric approaches, assessing their impact across six domains: biological system dysregulation, neuropsychological impairments, physical health complications, mental health conditions, social and behavioral challenges, and criminal justice involvement. The findings reveal a small to moderate overall effect size of ACEs across outcome domains(...) Kim B, J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 2024 May 21. doi: 10.1111/jcpp.14022. Epub ahead of print.
