As clinicians, the terms we are given to describe our work inevitably shape the work itself, even if we don’t agree with them, and the patient is even more powerless is this configuration. The language performs a simplification and literalization of treatment, and since public psychiatry only improves itself within it own terms, it cannot see beyond this serious limitation. I believe that there is a crisis going on in our culture that mental health care does end up addressing, but where treatment is effective, it is certainly not because of the quantity or quality of the records it produces. Indeed, these records and the bureaucracy they reflect are patronizing and absurd in the face of the magnitude of human suffering psychiatry faces #mentalhealth#clinical#devotionstartswithin
We’re excited to announce that Sangath is a co-author of The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on #YouthMentalHealth. Our researcher, Pattie Gonsalves, served as a commissioner, helping to explore the drivers and provide evidence-based recommendations to address the growing mental health crisis among young people. The report highlights alarming statistics, including that mental ill-health accounts for at least 45% of the disease burden in 10–24-year-olds, with 63–75% of mental illnesses occurring by age 25. Our studies on depression, adolescent and youth mental health in schools, and public engagement via our ItsOkToTalk campaign are featured as case studies. Experts emphasize that effective prevention and treatment are “best buys” for societies. Learn more about this critical issue and the path forward by exploring the report: https://lnkd.in/ddFGw3tT.
Ever wondered about the distinction between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
Let's break it down. A psychiatrist is a medically trained doctor specializing in psychiatry, capable of prescribing medication and assessing both the mental and physical impacts of disorders.
Psychiatry delves into the diagnosis, management, and prevention of mental health issues.
On the other hand, a psychologist focuses on the study of behaviors and mental processes, encompassing emotional and cognitive aspects, interactions with environments, and interpersonal dynamics.
Psychologists diagnose and treat mental disorders, learning disabilities, and behavioral issues, often employing psychotherapy as a primary treatment modality.
Understanding these differences is crucial, especially in legal contexts where mental health assessments play a pivotal role.
At 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝, we ensure clarity in delineating these roles, providing unparalleled support to legal professionals seeking expert medico-legal guidance.

Now out in JAMA Psychiatry led by #HefeiWen at Harvard Medical School, we find that hospital readmissions for mental health stays are on the increase in rural areas and surpassed urban mental health stay readmissions for the first time in 2020. This may signal suboptimal discharge planning and care coordination and inadequate post discharge follow-up community care in rural areas for mental health.

Exciting news for the field of mental health care! A recent article in The Lancet highlights the crucial role of Psychiatric Nurse Prescribers (PNPs) in shared decision making in psychiatry. PNPs, with their specialized training and prescribing authority, play a vital role in providing comprehensive care to individuals with mental health conditions. This insightful piece sheds light on the invaluable contributions of PNPs in enhancing patient outcomes and shaping collaborative treatment plans. A must-read for anyone in the mental health care industry
"Dr. Yosi Anderson's post certainly struck a very powerful chord with many of us, resonating with the frustrations and challenges countless healthcare professionals encounter in their careers today. The analogy of psychiatry being akin to an ex-relationship, with its highs and lows, but ultimately an unsustainable dynamic, resonates deeply. It speaks volumes about the conflicted emotions that arise when considering leaving a profession once cherished, yet found wanting due to various factors.
The mention of integrating psychiatry experience into Preloved Therapy offers a glimpse into a novel approach of repurposing skills and passions into a fresh venture. It showcases the potential for finding fulfillment and creating impactful change beyond conventional boundaries.
These reflections shed light on the broader issues within the healthcare landscape, where professionals feel undervalued and overwhelmed by the relentless demands of their roles. The vision for a reimagined healthcare system, one that harnesses technology to deliver patient-centric care and prioritizes preventative measures, holds promise for a brighter future. However, it's evident that substantial changes are imperative to address the current challenges and stem the tide of disillusionment driving professionals away from the field.
Ultimately, Dr. Anderson's message serves as a poignant reminder to prioritize self-care and heed one's inner voice, even if it necessitates stepping away from familiar yet detrimental circumstances. It's a rallying cry for both individuals and the healthcare sector as a whole to acknowledge and confront the underlying issues contributing to burnout and dissatisfaction among medical practitioners." ✍

Many people ask if I miss psychiatry.
Don't you miss "working as a Doctor"?
Of course, I do sometimes!
It's like your ex.
There's a reason why you got together in the first place.
There were good times and deep connections.
But ultimately, you just knew it wasn't a healthy relationship.
And I still find myself picking up psychiatry textbooks and reading them.
Because I'm blending my psychiatry experience into Preloved Therapy.
Rediscovering all the things I loved so much about it.
While absolutely enjoying what I do now and the opportunities to create an impact far beyond what I imagined.
Sometimes we struggle to move on from unhealthy relationships and let them hold us back.
Stop.
Step into the light.
Listen to your needs.
Prioritize your self-care.
P.S. There are many other ways to do the things you love without sacrificing your mental health.

Did you spot the blue sign?
Positive Psychiatry goes beyond traditional methods by not only treating illness but also focusing on building resilience, promoting healthy lifestyles, and enhancing well-being and happiness.
The World Health Organization defines health not as an absence of a disease but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Research shows that Positive Psychosocial Characteristics (PPCs) like: Resilience, Optimism, and Social Engagement are linked to better health outcomes, including longer life and improved well-being.
Despite their importance, PPCs are rarely covered in psychiatric textbooks or reports, limiting psychiatry’s impact on patients' lives. It's time to integrate positive mental health into psychiatric practice, training, and research to fully address the spectrum of mental functioning.
