In Memoriam: Psychiatrists Devoted to Child Mental Health
2024-12-20 - 2024-12
As the mental well-being of our youth has seemingly deteriorated slowly but surely over at least the last decade, and questions about their use of social media increase, competent psychiatrists are needed more than ever. The loss of child psychiatrists in these eulogies will emphasize the increased need, but fortunately they all dedicated themselves to training their successors. As usual, information about their lives was obtained from public obituaries and my personal knowledge of them.
Increase in Mental Health-Related Sick Days
2024-12-31 - 2025-01
The UK's Office for National Statistics reports a significant rise in sick days due to mental health issues, especially in the public sector. In 2022, 18.5 million sick days were attributed to mental health concerns, with 13% of public sector workers and 7% of private sector workers citing mental health as the reason for their absence. This trend has prompted calls for improved mental health support in workplaces.
China's Plan to Enhance Mental Health Services
2025-01-07 - 2025-01
China's National Health Commission has announced plans to improve mental health services between 2025 and 2027. The initiative includes establishing a mental health hotline, creating regional mental health centers, and developing key clinical specialties. This response addresses the rise in mental health issues, particularly among children and adolescents, and aims to provide outpatient services for mental and sleep disorders in at least one hospital per prefecture and city by 2025.
New York State's 'SUPPORT Act' for Mentally Ill Defendants
2025-01-20 - 2025-01
Inspired by incidents involving individuals like Taylor Swift's stalker, New York State is proposing the "SUPPORT Act." This legislation aims to provide better care for mentally ill defendants found "unfit for trial." The bill proposes assigning case workers and ensuring ongoing mental health services to reduce recidivism and protect the community. The legislation gained attention after David Crowe, a stalker of Swift, was released and immediately reoffended. The bill's supporters emphasize the need for comprehensive mental health treatment for individuals to attain lasting stability.
Genetic Links Between Occupations and Mental Health Disorders
2025-01-20 - 2025-01
A study by researchers at the JJ Peters VA Medical Center and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai analyzed data from over 400,000 individuals aged 30 or older. They discovered correlations between certain professions and genetic predispositions to mental health conditions. For example, individuals with higher genetic risks for ADHD were more commonly found in roles such as cleaners, chefs, and police officers, while computer technicians were more often linked to autism. Teachers and lawyers showed genetic traits associated with anorexia. The study suggests that genetic predispositions might influence career paths, although demographic and social factors have a significantly larger impact on occupational outcomes.
