Some of the most egregious harms have been done in the name of “help,” and this is especially true when it comes to forced psychiatric interventions. Investigative journalist, Rob Wipond illuminates the systemic harms of the psychiatric system after experiencing his father attempt to get help and instead of care, be met with coercion and force. As many find out, this is an all too common story. The evidence that psychiatric detention is beneficial to people is lacking, yet rates continue to dramatically rise. From mental health laws and policies, to corruption in pharmaceutical companies, and even political organizations lobbying for more control, all grease the wheels of power and injustice. In this episode we discuss: the politics of forced psychiatric treatment and why it is harmful how the evidence on forced treatment is systematically hidden the ins and out of mental health laws why there's a higher suicide risk in the weeks after psychiatric hospitalization how giving people the label of ‘lacking insight' is dangerous and false several alternative interventions and why we need more advocates advice for family members the cultural shift that's needed Rob Wipond is a freelance investigative journalist who writes frequently about the interfaces between psychiatry, civil rights, community issues, policing, surveillance and privacy, and social change. His articles have been nominated for seventeen magazine and journalism awards in science, law, business, and community issues, and he's the author of the book Your Consent is Not Required: The Rise in Psychiatric Detentions, Forced Treatment, and Abusive Guardianships.

Joan Feder MA, OTR/LJoan has dedicated her 40 year career to peer-centered treatment, working in a wide range of settings from acute psychiatric in-patient settings to outpatient psychosocial rehabilitation programs. She received an advanced mental health OT degree from NYU and worked in designing and implementing programming at New York-Presbyterian Hospital –Cornell Medical Center. She had the unique opportunity of designing outpatient services for the SPMI population while overseeing a multidisciplinary team. Her programs were driven by the Recovery Model, with a focus on fostering function and independence, while responding to the ever-changing demands of external regulators. She collaborated over the years on CBT for Psychosis research and lectured at multiple OT schools in NY. She has published in AOTA SIS journals and has a chapter in APA – Textbook of Hospital Psychiatry. Most importantly she was one of the founders of the MNYD mental health task force and has played a key role in the group, over the last 26 years, while benefiting from the amazing professional support provided by all its members. Mabel Martinez-Almonte, OTR/LMabel is a graduate from SUNY Downstate College of Health Related Professions, from the class of 1992. She has worked in mental health for 25 years, on the inpatient psychiatric unit NS-52 in which she supervised Occupational Therapy (OT) students for the past 21 years. She was nominated by her students for the "Supervisor of the Year" in 2000, 2007, 2010, and in 2009 was the recipient of this prestigious award. In addition, she was actively involved with educating the staff in the inpatient psychiatry unit (NS-52), on treatment modalities to decrease restraint and seclusion. She has served as an adjunct professor for the SUNY Downstate CHRP OT program since 1994. These experiences served as a springboard for other teaching opportunities. This spearheaded the initiative to give back to SUNY Downstate and work with professors who served as mentors in her profession as an Occupational Therapist, including getting involved with community service in the mental health arena. Since 1999, she has served in various capacities with NAMI East Flatbush (an affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness) consumer and family support group held monthly at SUNY Downstate. She continued to do community service in a broad spectrum, which included conducting lectures and conference presentations to students at various schools (i.e., Long Island University, Columbia University, and Public School 274), and participated as a panelist for mental health Special Interest Group, and co-presented with psychiatry residents from DMC department of psychiatry at the Institute on Psychiatric Services in 2010 on the topic: "Discuss updates working with patients affected by mental illness at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) towards mental health consumer empowerment and advocacy and the Metabolic Syndrome Screening Booth at the yearly NAMI Walks event." She has also worked closely with CHRP Occupational Therapy Program and the Department of Psychiatry to organize a yearly NAMI Walk event from 2008-2018, which included the involvement of SUNY Downstate trainees: occupational therapy and medical students, along with psychiatry residents; together with NAMI East Flatbush chapter members and their families, to set up a walk team (SUNY Downstate at NAMI East Flatbush) and provide a Metabolic Syndrome Screening Booth. She has co-presented the work that she does with NAMI and the yearly NAMI Walk events at the Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds. She is an active Advisory Board Member since 2006, for the State University of New York/Health Science Center of Brooklyn - College of Health Related Professions -Occupational Therapy Program, now renamed State University of New York - School of Health Professions (SOHP). Mabel went on to complete graduate studies at Nyack Alliance Graduate School of Counseling and graduated with a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. She is currently employed at the Special Treatment and Research (STAR) Health Center at SUNY Downstate Medical Center as a mental health counselor since December 2014. She currently provides both individual and group mental health, substance abuse, and supportive counseling for patients receiving care at the STAR Health Center. Her love for educating the community at large on mental health literacy has taken her to pursue training and certification in Mental Health First Aid for adults, youth curriculums since 2012. She has continued to enrich her love for knowledge and service and became certified as a National Certified Counselor and an Evergreen Certified Dementia Care Specialist (ECDCS).RESOURCES & IMPORTANT WORKS BY MEMBERS OVER THE YEARS: Social Profile by Mary Donohue, AOTA Presshttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/000841740507200304?journalCode=cjocOT's Walk with Nami (Initiative and Protocol)Let's Get Organized AssessmentSensory Modulation for pediatric inpatientSuzanne White, MA, OTR/L, FAOTAhttps://www.suzannewhiteotr.com/namiPhotography for those with mental illness- Joan Feder, MA, OTR/Lhttps://healthmatters.nyp.org./photography-program-mental-illnessArticle Testimony: Advocacy in Action.

In leading the new division, Dr. Travis will provide strategic vision and leadership for a comprehensive health and wellness approach that meets the diverse needs of students, staff, and faculty. “I'm originally from the United Kingdom, born and raised in England, and I've lived in the U.S. for 16 years. I moved here with my husband, who's an American. And most recently I've been at the state of Michigan working in the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. I've led the Public Health Administration there. Before that, I led the Aging and Adult Services Agency and was the bureau director for health and wellness. Prior to that, my family and I lived in Massachusetts where I was chief of Community Health for the city of Worcester, which is the second largest city in New England. I focus on how to improve population health, whether at the local level or state level. And then through my time working in public health, the common thread has really been working on health equity, so figuring out what communities need and meeting them where they are to get the best and optimal health outcomes.”What attracted you to this position at MSU?“I was really excited about this opportunity to set a culture of health and wellbeing and create something new, building on a very strong foundation of these 11 units, but really having the opportunity to look at assessment and planning and work with the Spartan community to reach optimal health and wellbeing here. I really enjoy engaging with communities directly. Working with faculty, students, and staff directly is something that I'm really looking forward to, and I want to look at opportunities to fill gaps and build on the amazing services we're already offering.”Why are you passionate about this work?“Both of my parents were African immigrants. They came to the UK to attend university. Understanding the differences between different groups and their different needs and how that impacts health has really been a passion of mine, working towards leveling the playing field and figuring out how we can better meet the needs culturally, for example, or in terms of language. Here at MSU, I'm really excited about this diverse, huge community that we get to serve. There are many opportunities for us to look to make sure that health and wellbeing are integrated into all aspects of campus life and think about the different backgrounds people come here with and how we can listen and develop more programming and initiatives to meet those needs. My vision is to make sure that each Spartan has access to the resources and education, information, and services they need to be able to meet their full potential here.”How do you define health and wellbeing? And what do you see as the mission of University Health and Wellbeing?“Diversity in our community at MSU is one of our strengths. People are coming here from all over the world with different understandings about health and wellbeing, which can be considered subjective in some ways. It's important for us as we do this work to really have some shared definitions. The World Health Organization outlines health as an optimal state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing, not just the absence of disease or infirmity.“Universities across the U.S. have adopted an inter-association definition of wellbeing, which is an optimal and dynamic state where people are able to fulfill their full potential. So when we think about that in the MSU community, it's looking at what is academic success. How do we achieve that? If people are not healthy or not feeling their best selves, then it's going to be more difficult for them to reach their academic goals, whether it's graduation or something else. For our faculty and staff, it's equally as important as we facilitate that academic journey for others to make sure we're also looking after ourselves during that process.”How would you describe your relationship with the University Physician's Office?“There has been some restructuring. Previously there was integration of what now is University Health and Wellbeing and the University Physician's Office. Now we're two distinct units, although we do work closely together. The University Physician is a cabinet member. He's advising the president and guiding senior leadership within the university on all things related to health and safety, including how we respond to COVID and other major threats as well as making sure we're also meeting statutory responsibilities in terms of state and federal statutes that we're responsible to adhere to.“University Health and Wellness is on more of the programmatic side. My role as an administrator is overseeing all the programs and the array of services that we provide in those 11 units. It brings together units that were formally in the University Physician office. It's the Employee Assistance Program, the Healthy U program, which is health promotion for our staff and our faculty. It also brings together Occupational Health and Travel. And then we have other units like Student Health Services, which is housed in the Olin Health Clinic. We also have CAPS, which is Counseling and Psychiatric Services, and the Center for Survivors, which provides support to people who have experienced relationship violence or sexual misconduct. We have Safe Place, which is the only on-campus shelter for people who have experienced relationship violence or stalking and other forms of harassment. And then we have the Resource Center for Persons Living with Disabilities. That's a program area that's seeing a lot of demand right now as we're admitting more students who are living with disabilities and making sure that they have an equitable experience here as well. And then we also have the Work Life Office, making sure that employees have the best possible experience here and that we are forming and following best practices for that supervisor-employee relationship and beyond.”What are some of your short- and long-term goals?“In the short term, what we're looking at is bringing together those 11 units. It's always difficult when you go through organizational change. And when we look at those 11 units, they've all been following different practices. We are looking at policies, practices, and processes. With that challenge comes the opportunity to make it more efficient, really leveraging the data from each of those program areas to make sure that we have a full picture of what the needs are of the Spartan community. In the short term, I'm also looking at how we educate the university community about the services that we offer, making sure that we're making those connections as tightly as possible so people know from the beginning of their journey with MSU all the way through the end of their journey that we're here to support them and we have resources, information, and other support that they can take advantage of.“In the longer term, we are looking at how to measure outcomes. How can we move the needle on health and wellbeing outcomes and reach that optimal state of health? In public health, it takes a little bit longer to see those in terms of our metrics, but we can track things incrementally. When we are looking at that data and we are assessing health and wellbeing, we need to make sure that we have strong campaigns and accurate information and are leveraging and highlighting the fact that a lot of the time, students have healthier behaviors than are relayed in the stereotypes about students. We are the home to the National Social Norms Center. A big part of our responsibility is to do those social norm campaigns and share what most students are doing and the healthful behaviors that we see here on the MSU campus.”As you pursue these goals, are there any challenges and opportunities you see?“There are always challenges when you bring together new organizations. We're looking at how to get on to shared data systems. But I think the biggest opportunities are really to be a convener, bringing together so many different areas across the university all focused on health. And outside of our team, also convening others who have programs and initiatives supporting health and wellbeing so that we're collectively making a bigger impact. And that's a lot of what we'll be doing moving forward as well as assessment.”I imagine you're pleased to see how society is seeing mental health as an important factor in our overall health and wellbeing.“Yes. One of the things that I think about is this period that we're coming out of with COVID and the impact it's had on folks' mental health. We can't deny that. And we're seeing more and more demand for mental health services. That's a challenge in and of itself, and we have limited resources. It's going to take all of us, faculty, students, and staff to address the current mental health crisis and to really support each other as we come out of this. Over the next few years, we're going to see a lot of students admitted who were in high school earlier on in the pandemic in the most critical times. We anticipate seeing more of those mental health challenges, but we also will be ready to receive those students and to support them every step of the way.“The bottom line here is we're here for you. We have an array of services. Our health changes at different times; it's really a spectrum. Sometimes people will feel healthier, and then other times people will feel some sense of illness, maybe mental health issues. Our goal is to try to work with Spartans to keep them at the healthier end of that spectrum and to be there with services when there are fluctuations. I am so thrilled to be working with such a talented team of individuals who really stay up on best practices and are ready to provide services year-round to our Spartan community. There are some exciting things coming ahead and things to look forward to.”MSU Today airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 5 a.m. on WKAR News/Talk and Sundays at 8 p.m. on 760 WJR.

Joseph Austerman, DO, discusses how psychiatric care is evolving to better meet the needs of the adolescent patient population.

Morgan Shields is one of the few health policy researchers who focuses on quality of care and issues of coercion within inpatient psychiatry. Her research exposes how current healthcare settings are influenced by power imbalances, profit structures, and organizational priorities that are fundamentally misaligned with the human needs of individual patients. Dr. Shields completed her Ph.D. in Social Policy at Brandeis University and is currently an Assistant Professor at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis, where she also directs her own research group. She has published over 25 peer-reviewed articles in outlets such as Health Affairs, Psychiatric Services, and the JAMA Network. She has also completed several policy reports for entities such as the U.S. Health and Human Services Office, and has served as a legal expert in cases related to psychiatric patient discrimination. In doing so, her research has effected change at the state and federal levels, prompting internal investigations and structural reforms within agencies such as the Veterans Health Administration and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health. In this interview, Dr. Shields discusses her current work, which aims to identify strategies for implementing patient-centered and equitable treatment within existing mental health care structures—toward a wholesale re-imagining of inpatient psychiatry.

Recently, the Board of Nursing voted to approve the following revised language for adoption by rule as the definition of “primary care practice”: “Includes physical and mental health promotion, assessment, evaluation, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, inclusive of behavioral and mental health conditions”. This definition would be read in conjunction with Section 464.0123(3), Florida Statutes. The Board also voted to accept the recommendation, also for adoption by rule, from the Council on APRN Autonomous Practice for “standards of practice” as: “Advanced practice registered nurses who are registered pursuant to Section 464.0123, F.S., shall engage in autonomous practice only in a manner that meets the General Standard of Practice. The General Standard of Practice shall be that standard of practice, care, skill, and treatment which, in light of all relevant surrounding circumstances, is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by reasonably prudent similarly situated health care providers.” Web: www.JonesHealthLaw.com Phone: (305)877-5054 Instagram: @JonesHealthLaw Facebook: @JonesHealthLaw Youtube: #JonesHealthLaw --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joneshealthlaw/support

Psychologists have a doctoral degree in an area of psychology, the study of the mind and human behavior. They're not medical doctors. A psychologist can have a PhD in philosophy or a PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology. Typically, they do 1-2 years of internship - What is a psychiatric doctor called?. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists are also trained in giving psychological tests (like IQ tests or personality tests).But a few states allow psychologists to prescribe a limited number of psychiatric medications if they've taken a course in psychopharmacology. Both psychiatrists and psychologists are typically trained to practice psychotherapy -- talking with their patients about their problems. But the differences in background and training translates into different approaches to solving your mental health problems.https://freedom-now-clinic.business.site/https://batchgeo.com/map/5b6b374a0283bf9eeb7bc1ff75569553https://batchgeo.com/map/f0730236435ca108599d6a8f7f270f19https://goo.gl/maps/xNcNRqn4wLEvSubd7https://goo.gl/maps/nbVL4QYuEwUvkfn89https://goo.gl/maps/PhoZVdkhtuHtpGge9https://t.co/HsIKV3d6mX#addiction-treatment-delrayhttps://t.co/KYtqoPT3Ww#psychologyhttps://t.co/21NLVKVKMD$mental-evaluationhttps://earth.google.com/web/data=Mj8KPQo7CiExZkFDQ0sxSVhQdGVWc25ldnRqeUZoX0MtZjNGWkdxVHASFgoUMEQ4QjVENDg4RTE4QzgwQzFEMEE“If you're depressed and can't get out of bed, there's a behavioral activation,” says C (telemedicine). Vaile Wright, PhD, a director at the American Psychological Association. Psychologists will track sleep patterns, eating patterns, and the negative thoughts that might be causing or contributing to the problem.“Psychiatrists have a stronger sense of biology and neurochemistry,” says Ranna Parekh, MD, a director at the American Psychiatric Association.For instance, before we call someone depressed, we're going to make sure they don't instead have some vitamin deficiency or thyroid problem.” Once they've made a mental health diagnosis, psychiatrists often prescribe you medicine. Freedom Now Clinic236 SE 23rd Ave, Boynton Beach, FL 33435GW4P+R9 Boynton Beach, Floridahttps://myfreedomnow.com/https://myfreedomnow.com/psychiatrist-services/Psychiatric Services in Deerfield Beach, FLFind Freedom Now on Google Maps!More information:https://freedomnowclinic.blogspot.com/2021/02/psychiatric-doctor-deerfield-beach-fl.htmlVideos:https://youtu.be/yuOpkOw6030https://vimeo.com/511285672Support the show (https://www.google.com/search?q=236+SE+23rd+ave+addiction+treatment+clinic+boynton+fl&kponly&kgmid=/g/11j20t35r_)

Together they discuss how the Pathway Home™ program addresses the issues and the core needs of their clients, creating a synergistic team of social workers, and how this relational model is creating stronger relationships by actively engaging their clients with conversational assessment and connects them to a program close to their home and meets their needs in a sustainable manner. Pathway Home™ has achieved an incredible 94% rate of participants staying out of the hospital after the first 30 days back into the community. If you would like to learn more and discuss a referral, please email PathwayHomeInfo@cbcare.org or call (646) 930-8841For more information about Pathway Home™, visit: http://www.cbcare.org/innovative-programs/pathway-home/For information about Coordinated Behavioral Care, visit: http://www.cbcare.org/For more information about the Psychiatric Services articles on Pathway Home™, view article here. 

Ruth S. Shim, MD, MPH, joins Carol A. Bernstein, MD, to discuss how to understand systemic racism within psychiatric institutions and the implications for patient care. Dr. Shim is the Luke & Grace Kim Professor in Cultural Psychiatry in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Davis. She has no disclosures. Dr. Bernstein, a past president of the American Psychiatric Association, is vice chair for faculty development and well-being at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York. She has no disclosures. Take-home points Dr. Shim discusses her editorial published by statnews about why she left the APA, and describes her frustration about what she sees as the APA’s failure to prioritize mental health inequity and structural racism within the organization. Dr. Shim describes systemic racism and oppression as generational traumas that must be recognized and processed if our professional organizations and country are to move forward with equity. Psychiatry plays a role in healing societal trauma, so psychiatrists need to understand and address the damage of structural racism in our own system. Summary After psychiatry training, Dr. Shim became faculty at Morehouse School of Medicine, one of the few historically Black medical schools. During her clinical work in Atlanta, Dr. Shim noted the difference in health outcomes of inpatients at Emory University Hospital, which treated majority White patients, compared with those of Grady Memorial Hospital, which treated majority Black patients. This observation propelled her research into health disparities, which continues to inform her academic work. Dr. Shim’s decision to leave the APA occurred during the presidential term of Altha J. Stewart, MD, who, even as the first African American president of the organization, was thwarted in her attempt to push the APA to focus attention and resources on addressing mental health disparities, inequity, and systemic racism within the organization and psychiatry, according to Dr. Shim. Dr. Shim observes that systemic racism occurs when the structures of an organization, not individuals, perpetuate the inequity. An example within the APA is the disconnect and power disparity between the group’s executive leadership structure and its elected officials. This disconnect and power disparity stymie progressive voices and interventions, Dr. Shim said. Addressing systemic racism within an organization is challenging because it may not be considered a problem by all members, and usually the leadership of an organization caters to its majority. As an example, Dr. Shim discussed the APA’s systematic attempt to reduce resources and cancel the Mental Health Services Conference (formerly Institute for Psychiatric Services, or IPS meeting), which focuses on health care delivery to the most vulnerable populations. As observed by Dr. Bernstein, the IPS meeting might have incurred financial losses, but investment in such a meeting demonstrated the APA’s concern for mental health equity.

Dr. Dave Pilon talks with Kerry about his journey through the world of community-based mental health. In talking with him, one gets a sense of how our life experiences, over decades, can come full circle to tie everything together. Most recently, Dr. Pilon was the author of the proposal outlining a bold five-year mental health pilot, submitted to the state of CA in 2019, inspired by the WHO-recognized community-based mental health system in Trieste, Italy and adapted to an American context. Not only was he inspired by Trieste, but his vision was also informed by his seminal work at The Village in Long Beach, the site of a fascinating study in the early 90s. That state-funded study documented how an integrated service system, geared to whole person care with a per-capita budget, led to noteworthy recovery outcomes for the participants. Topics to explore will include psychosocial rehabilitation, the elements of recovery, and how we all benefit by helping people with mental illnesses to find belonging, purpose and true inclusion in our community. Biography: Dave Pilon received his doctorate in Social Psychology from Harvard University in 1981. From 1989 until his retirement, he served in various roles at Mental Health America of Los Angeles, including as its CEO from 2009 until 2017. For over 35 years he has consulted in the design and transformation of mental health programs and systems throughout the United States, New Zealand and Japan. Most recently he has served as the lead consultant to the L.A. County Department of Mental Health for the TRIESTE Pilot. Dave has presented numerous workshops on ethics and leadership issues in psychosocial rehabilitation as well as on the development of performance measures for social rehabilitation programs. He is passionate about creating better ways to serve the most vulnerable among us, particularly people with serious mental illnesses.

“If someone Googles MSU CAPS, they might see an advertisement to buy a baseball cap,” Patishnock quips. “Actually it's what we're commonly known as. Counseling and Psychiatric Services is the primary mental health service for all MSU students. We are charged with being accessible and providing quality care to all 50,000 plus enrolled students. We have a bevy of resources, and we're here for students and faculty.” Patishnock and the CAPS team have created a Summer Care Kit for our growth and well-being.  “It was in response to folks reaching out and asking for help in a variety of ways. “We've seen everybody struggle with trying to figure out how to manage in these unprecedented times. We first noticed signs of stress in our own staff. They were struggling with some of these transitions and we saw the same thing with our families at our homes and the students we're serving. The Summer Care Kit is five identified areas that we're finding to be fairly universal right now that all people could be benefiting from taking a look at and refocusing their energy. We chose these five areas as a way to create bite size snippets to focus on as opposed to a large document that would feel overwhelming. We broke it down to these five basic areas.”  The five areas are the basics, maintaining connections with ourselves and others, coping skills, dealing with loss and uncertainty, and meaning and motivation.  “In some ways you might look at our five areas and say, ‘Duh, that's not rocket science.' But when things go awry and we're stressed, these are the first things that go out the window - our sleep, our exercise, and our nutrition. We tend not to think about those things and often we'll get dehydrated or we'll be malnourished, or we just won't be as active as we've been. Those things have a pretty immediate impact in all of our areas. And so just like when we're working with students who are coming in for depression or anxiety, if you show me a student who generally has a good sleep hygiene, sleep routine, who is eating nutritiously every few hours and who's getting some activity throughout the day, I'm generally going to show you a student with less depression and anxiety than they otherwise would have.”  The CAPS team encourages us to be Spartan Fit through SMART goals. The idea is to make goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.“When you do that, you can feel a sense of accomplishment. It's really just a way to think about how we're setting goals and expectations. And those things are associated with whether we feel good or get frustrated. It's a way to refocus realistic expectations and goals for ourselves.”  And when is it time to seek professional help?  “Going to see a mental health professional is often not the first step that someone takes. Usually it's pretty common for people to try to manage on their own. They might talk to family or friends first. By the time someone does consider going to a mental health professional, it's usually been anywhere from months to years that someone has been struggling with an issue. I encourage people to think about not creating a high threshold to have to ask for help. Mental health professionals are trained to understand people's concerns in the context of their own individual identities, their culture, and their experiences in the context of our overall circumstances. We don't have to wait until things get really bad. And as a result, there might be different recommendations that come out of that. I would just have people have a low threshold to ask for help. I think we all can use help from time to time. It's perhaps time to seek professional help anytime something is going on where you notice that you're not enjoying life as much or something is impacting your relationships, your mood, your behaviors, your activity level, your diet, your sleep, your interest, and motivation.   Basically, if you're not living life the way that you want to be living it and you don't feel like you're interacting with the world and with people in a way that's happy or satisfactory to you, that might mean that there's something getting in the way. And that's what trained mental health professionals can help you figure out and overcome.”  May is Mental Health Awareness Month. What would Patishnock like us to be more aware of?  “I'd like people to realize just how normal it is to have a mental health concern. As a society, we're getting better at de-stigmatizing mental health. But many still believe that someone either does have a mental health problem or they don't have a mental health problem. And it's seen as black and white when that's just not the case. A lot of us see our physical health as fluid. I don't think any of us would say that we're 100 percent physically healthy. I have lower back pain from time to time. If all of us were honest, we would say there's something about us that's not 100 percent healthy, but it doesn't mean that we need to be at a doctor's office.  “It doesn't mean that we're not okay, but we tend to look at mental health as something where a person either has a mental health problem or they don't. I would like people to know that it's important to think about our mental health the same way as with our physical health' it's fluid. It's not black and white and therefore we don't have to categorize ourselves or others as either having a problem or not. It's actually better to see that we all have varying degrees of mental health and varying degrees of physical health. And at various times it might be important to seek help to address those problems just like we would for any physical issue.”  MSU Today airs Sunday mornings at 9:00 on 105.1 FM, AM 870, and your smart speaker and connected devices.

SHOW NOTES: CHAPTER 1: Accessing psychiatric care for our pediatric patients presents a number of challenges. There are many acronyms for our patients receiving care or in need of care. We mention this because it is important to better define these services so that we can navigate the system more appropriately for our patients. With regard to PrairieCare, the first stage in care is the needs assessment, which really helps to define the level of care our patients will require. As mentioned, this process can be started simply by picking up the phone and calling PrairieCare's number to discuss cases and essentially immediately obtain a psychiatric consultation from Dr. Stein or his partner(s). The triage portion of this consultation is handled by a social worker, such as Joe Waller, who assesses the often complex needs of our child psychiatry patients. Dr. Stein discusses an average, fairly typical patient he treats in the child psychiatry world. While general psychiatry looks at biologic illness, in the child psychiatry world, much of the diagnoses are quite directly linked to exposure and environment these children are actively experiencing. This particular 9 yo patient he presents to us has experienced exposure in utero, violence at home and witnessing abuse, divorce, limited paternal relationship, differences in parenting, education challenges, living environment changes, and video game overuse to placate behaviors. To further complicate matters, the patient threatens to kill himself, but does demonstrate empathy for others as well. His step-father is of SE Asian descent and the patient experiences barriers to psychotropic medication use and care due to some first generation cultural beliefs. So does this sound like something you can properly manage in the primary care clinic, let alone in an emergency department without resources? Irritability and agitation tend to be fundamental qualities in child psychiatry. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological theory helps us understand the various systems that make us who we are. We are informed by a microsystem that spreads out from the self. the Chronosystem makes up the outer sphere and informs us based on the time and ear in which we accept things to be "the way they are". We are informed by what is happening in front of us, but also what we have experienced in the past. The Macrosystem is composed of overarching beliefs and values to help inform us as well. For instance, being gay is now accepted as who we are, as opposed to a psychiatric condition, as it was in the 1950s. The exosystem consists of economical, governmental, educational and political systems which tend to also inform us of who we are. For instance, the push for equality in these systems informs us that we are equally capable and worthy. The meso and microsystems involve family, school, peer, and religious affiliation. Finally we get to the "you" part of this system - that is defined by our biology and genetics. ACEs are adverse childhood events. Parental issues, abuse, assault, medical concerns, etc. all tend to lead to early death from all causes. Impairments increase when ACEs are present. Carious untoward behaviors ensue, such as addiction, promiscuity and eating disorders. Therefore, positive childhood experiences are remedies for these kids, such as participation in sports or activities, having other adult figures who offer positive experiences that an otherwise positive parent would ordinarily provide. As Dr. Stein alluded to in the CDC study, the more ACEs a child has, the more risks (factors) they will take on. Overcoming periodic markers of stress in our childhood helps us to have success in future life stressors or obstacles. From positive stressors like passing a spelling test, to one's first crush on a girl or boy, to writing college essays. Then we have tolerable stressors like job loss, health problems and loss of a loved one. Next are the more dysfunctional, toxic stressors like physical abuse, living with violence, etc. Our ability to maturely handle each of these more minor, typical as well as tolerable life stressors depends on our ability to handle previous lesser positive stressors and so on. In other words, kids who have never learned how to move past and cope with these more basic stressors because of continuous toxic stressors like neglect, poor support, abuse, chemical dependency, violence and a variety of other dysfunctions, will continue to struggle. Many of Dr. Stein's patients are living in a chronically stressed state and therefore agitation and aggression is easily triggered with minimal provocation. Medication often is implemented in order to get a child to a state of being able to learn to address these markers of stress. Stay tuned for the next chapter, where we will go through some statistics of childhood mental illness, and how we even begin to approach these issue in our patients. CHAPTER 2: 1/5 of all adults experience mental illness. 20% of all youth live with a mental health condition from ages 13 to18.  70% of kids in the juvenile justice system have at least one mental health condition. At least 20% live with a serious MHD. Less than half of these kids will receive treatment that they actually need. Over 1/3 of students served by special education end up dropping out of school. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death between ages 10 and 24.  Earlier diagnosis leads to earlier appropriate treatment for children. Approximately 160 people are directly affected by suicide, but a youth suicide will often directly affect hundreds or more. We are doing a better job than before in schools now of recognizing mental illness. The stigma is gradually being erased and remedied. While social media can and does affect emotional well being, there is ironically an almost therapeutic or empathetic aspect to it. Dr. Stein gives the example of "meme" culture, which offers emotional context and description that is easily recognized and identified with by patients. Kids are talking more about suicide, and there is evidence of influencing others to consider suicide as well, similar to couples experiencing divorce. Suicide will be of great concern in our suburbs and exurbs. The Native American population in particular will continue to see a rise in this for many of the reasons mentioned in chapter 1 relating to the microsystem discussed. So what is the goal? We need to connect kids and adults with care when it is needed. An important step is referring for evaluation when we've identified there may be a problem We in the primary care or emergency department setting often are even afraid to ask some of the questions to help identify if there is a mental illness problem, because we have limited time and resources. In general though, we're doing a much better job of screening for mental illness. For instance the schools are actually really doing a great job here. However, problems arise after we've identified an issue. The question is what do we do now? We all have experienced this, right? We want to help our patients but we are challenged by limited access to mental health resources, closed clinics, limitations on the part of the psychiatrist, etc. Sometimes kids are in a vicious cycle of crisis, and crisis aversion, which gets in the way of making progress or even getting them into the system. Stay tuned for chapter three, where we'll take a deeper dive into what we do next and what actual options we may have for our child and adolescent psych patients. And we'll immerse into the alphabet soup of acronyms in this field. So hold on and tune back in! CHAPTER 3: Acronyms are abundant in child psychology. CTSS or children's therapeutic services and supports are a great tool for helping to assess and deescalate in the home. But there are many other programs as mentioned by Dr. Stein. Outpatient treatment is of course for patients who are otherwise stable and sage, but need regular visits for therapy and support. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are group based therapy programs for ongoing support and transitioning. Partial hospitalization (PHP) is a service that provides care for patients who no longer need to be fully hospitalized (or inpatient care), but they receive during the day intensive therapy, and they're not actually attending their school either, but still doing classwork in the facility. PHP of course is staffed by nurses and physicians. These patients don't meet the safety needs or criteria for impatient care. And they do go home at night with self-support skills, and there is an emphasis on supporting families of the patient. Inpatient hospitalization is fairly self-explanatory and reserved for patients who are unsafe and not thriving  with the other mentioned modalities. Finally, residential treatment or RTC, is provided for patients who are well-regulated on medications but still need intensive therapy. PRTF, psychiatric residential treatment facility, is a place for patients to live while they're getting intensive outpatient therapy, but not a hospital, thereby allowing for a more independence and normalcy not found in the hospital. Residential treatment is actually very difficult to access. These are reserved for patients who are in the vicious cycle of crisis, crisis intervention by police, emergency department visits and repeating this experience over and again. Unfortunately, after inpatient care or partial hospitalization and stabilization patients can sometimes fall between the cracks and not have important outpatient ongoing care and follow-up, therefore the same dysfunctional responses to crises happen, leading the patient right back to where they were just a few weeks ago. Primary care providers must continue to advocate for their mental health patients, and this involves transparency with what was done and planned for regarding their most recent mental health hospitalization. Case management services through the county are also quite valuable for us. CHAPTER 4: So who are typical patients. Inpatient care's goal is to have a short stay, avert the crisis at hand, and deescalate to other care options. At PrairieCare, a typical inpatient stay is 7 to 10 days. Residential treatment is for children or adults with chronic suicidality, severe biologic illness sand general unsafe existence, and it offers and opportunity to build them up with better coping skills. Partial hospitalization duration of care varies, but remember it is a step down from inpatient care and often with the same physician. With intensive outpatient treatment, there aren't usually the same safety or morbidity concerns as with the aforementioned modalities. It tends to be more common in the adult population. eating disorders as an example are commonly addressed with IOP. IOPs are fairly specific services for patients. Outpatient services are classically 1 or 2 days per week. There may be resistance to this on the part of our patients, but it's important that we push for this. A lot of changes occur in teens' live on a weekly basis as opposed to an adults. 911 for crises is always available, especially when there is risk of harm to self or others. County crisis services are also helpful and available. Also, there is the option of walking in for an appointment. The medical aspect of this service at PrairieCare and Ridgeview is helpful, but so is the social work aspect. The needs assessment of patient care is paramount, and the social workers are instrumental in heading this up. They will often provide resources for specific parental and patient concerns, such as stressors from screen overuse, LGBTQ specific needs, etc. From a medical aspect, we will be supported by the psychiatrist dosing changes, titration, etc.  Fast tracker is an important tool that is sponsored by DHS that is updates and provides links and recommendations to services for some's specific locale. It is updated regularly by major and some smaller institutions. One of the issues of our day is bullying and it's abundance in society now. But it does present a unique challenge for caregivers and providers. In many cases, bullying does not represent toxic or ongoing dysfunctional stress, because many bullied kids have other healthy releases and coping mechanisms. Nonetheless, it can be quite traumatic, especially if not addressed. It is also important to understand the difference between teasing and bullying. Dr. Stein addresses the concern for access to the system. Essentially, the number is at our disposal, and there are many modalities available to our patients. While it is wonderful to have these options, driving distance must be considered, and we as referring providers have to advocate for our patients with regard to this. Driving 50 to 80 miles round trip for an appointment is not always desirable. How does the primary care provider address mental health during a well visit? Dr. Stein mentions screening options which will offer some talking points. Discussing social media and its inherent struggles within this subject is also important. Bottom line is that a follow-up appointment may be necessary to address lingering concerns.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of this year’s annual American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) meeting and interview Dr. Mary Moller on a presentation she will be jointly delivering with Dr. Kate Wheeler, titled “A Third Nervous System? Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!” We discuss how to incorporate the polyvagal theory of trauma into practice and how to effectively treat patients who have experienced trauma. Learn how a better understanding of the way the mammalian nervous system has evolved, may empower patients to transition from a more primitive freezing response, to becoming more active and socially engaged, thus resulting in enhanced healing. Dr. Mary D. Moller, DNP, ARNP, PMHCNS-BC, CPRP, FAAN is an advanced registered nurse practitioner who is dually certified as a clinical specialist in adult psychiatric-mental health nursing and a psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner. She is an Associate Professor at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA where she is Lead Faculty for the Undergraduate Psychiatric Nursing Program and coordinator for the development of a Doctor of Nursing Practice program for psychiatric-mental health nursing. She is also the Director of Psychiatric Services for Northwest Center for Integrated Health in Tacoma, WA where she is in practice as a psychiatric ARNP treating patients in a triple integration agency: substance abuse, mental illness, and primary care.

Paul S. Appelbaum, M.D., joins Dr. Dixon and Dr. Berezin to discuss what degree of responsibility universities have to prevent student suicide or violence on campus. This question was the focus of two recent state supreme court decisions, in Massachusetts and in California. Looking to legal rules that define when duties exist to protect third parties, both courts held that the unique aspects of the campus setting create a responsibility for universities to take reasonable steps to protect students from themselves and each other. Widening the scope of institutional liability in this way could encourage schools to overreact to students with mental health problems, making them less likely to come forward for treatment. Dr. Appelbaum is the Elizabeth K. Dollard Professor of Psychiatry, Medicine and Law in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University, New York City, and is editor of the Law & Psychiatry column in Psychiatric Services.

In this in service Dr. Stephen Price and I discuss the relationship between mental illness and violence and delve into our experiences with this population. According to the Department of Justice violent crime has been decreasing since the early 1990s. Although there is a statistical relationship between mental illness and violence, only 4% of all violent crimes are committed by persons with mental illness. Conversely, persons with mental illness are at high risk for violent victimization. Despite this violent crimes involving persons with mental illness are over-reported. Research indicates that mental illness only needs to be mentioned in news stories for people to infer that there is a causal relationship between the two.

In the 1970s psychologist David Rosenhan sent healthy volunteers to 12 psychiatric hospitals, where they claimed to be hearing voices. Once they were admitted, they behaved normally, but the hospitals diagnosed all of them as seriously mentally ill. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Rosenhan experiment, which challenged the validity of psychiatric diagnosis and set off a furor in the field. We'll also spot hawks at Wimbledon and puzzle over a finicky payment processor. Intro: In 2002, Burkard Polster investigated the mathematics of shoelaces. A raindrop that lands on Montana's Triple Divide Peak might arrive at any of three oceans. Sources for our feature on the Rosenhan experiment: Roger R.

 This week, we interview Professor Jim van Os. Professor van Os is Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands, and Visiting Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology at King’s College, Institute of Psychiatry, London.  He trained in Psychiatry in Casablanca, Bordeaux and the Institute of Psychiatry and the Maudsley Royal Hospital in London. In 2011, he was elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW); he appears on the 2014 Thomson-Reuter Web of Science list of the world’s most influential scientific minds of our time. He is Director of Psychiatric Services at Maastricht University Medical Centre and runs a service for treatment-resistant depression and first episode psychosis. I was keen to ask professor van Os about his views on biological psychiatry, why we should sometimes challenge schizophrenia, psychosis and other diagnostic terminology and how he sees the future of mental healthcare. In this episode, we discuss: How Jim became interested in Psychology and Psychiatry, partly because of the experiences of family members That Jim felt that training in many parts of the world allowed him to see variations in psychiatric models and this led to him questioning the biological model That Jim also saw how dominant the prescribing of medication but noticed the wide variation in practices How Jim observed in France a willingness by the treating doctors to accept that they didn’t know what the root cause of a mental health difficulty That some of the diagnoses that psychiatrists rely on are actually cultural agreements between professionals and that if a patient accepts the idea that they have a diseased brain, it can be limiting for that patient That we should be able to admit that we don’t know causes but we can still help and support people who struggle with their mental health That there is a 25% yearly prevalence of mental disorders, but many nations have a capacity for only 4% to 6% of the general population That selection criteria to get help and support with their mental health just don’t work because we cannot precept outcomes for people That there are interesting developments in eCommunities where people can participate in online communities to share experiences, for example ‘Proud to be Me’ in the Netherlands. That diagnoses are starting to function as an economic measurement of mental illness and treatment and some cannot access treatment without a diagnosis, which perpetuate the diagnostic paradigm That there were attempts in the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM V) discussions to adopt ranges or dimensions of disorders, but the proposal was shot down That it would have been historic if dimensions were adopted in the DSM because then the discussion between the clinician and the patient would have had to change That there is some dimensionality in DSM V, represented as ‘spectrum disorders’ which are the first step towards acknowledging the variations inherent in human experiences That Jim saw in his own family that the initial ‘relief’ of receiving a diagnosis was undone when more and more diagnoses were added That a label of Schizophrenia can mean that other people do not know what to expect and find it difficult to relate psychologically to that person and their experiences That the Maastricht User Research Centre has been discussing the language used in psychiatry, in particular the terms psychosis and schizophrenia and trying to find more helpful terms, for example hyper-meaning That sometimes terms such as ‘susceptibility’ and ‘syndrome’ are far more helpful than giving someone the message that they have a brain disease   That biological psychiatry has been trying to reverse engineer and validate the concept of schizophrenia by investigating case control differences That there is more awareness developing about the critical appraisal of diagnostic terminology That the mental health sector should not be viewed as a separate entity, but should reinvent itself as an inclusive local community that is there to connect with people and their range of experiences That patients often indicate that what got them better was community and connection and meaning and empowerment That the User Research Centre, led by Dr. Peter Groot, have developed a solution to help patients withdraw slowly and gradually from their psychiatric medications That when prescribing medication, we should encourage people to monitor their experiences to allow a better discussion about treatment continuing or stopping based on evidence That if we suppress difficulties with medication, it can make it more difficult for the person to build up coping mechanisms To listen on Mad in America: https://goo.gl/tyyLmt Podcast show notes: https://goo.gl/h1CHc5 To get in touch with us email: podcasts@madinamerica.com © Mad in America 2017
