It’s time for organizations like our own, the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association and others to join together and have people understand a simple, basic message — 12 weeks is all most people need to start feeling better when faced with a mental health issue. Psychotherapy still gets a bad rap because of a basic misunderstanding of the process it entails, or prejudice around thinking that if you need to see a therapist, something’s really wrong with you. It doesn’t have to be this way. Just like the endless pharmaceutical commercials on TV for antidepressants and ADHD medications, psychotherapy could be remindin...

Is ADHD a serious problem in children? Absolutely. But can it be too-quickly diagnosed without a thorough mental health evaluation of the child? Yes, even today. 5 Years Ago on Psych Central A Patient’s Suicide, a Psychiatrist’s Pain Five years ago we highlighted this story from The New York Times, where a psychiatrist describes his first experience with one of his patients committing suicide. While not for the feint of heart, it remains a poignant story worth reading. FDA Orders Strong Antidepressant Warnings The first black box warnings hit antidepressant medications 5 years ago, and despite warnin...

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued new guidelines on how to cope with unruly youngsters suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The disorder affects 365,000 children in Britain, and youngsters with ADHD are easily distracted, forgetful and have difficulty keeping still. Doctors have prescribed Ritalin — which can cause insomnia, weight loss, nausea and an erratic heartbeat — to 37,000 children, but NICE says parents should instead be taught how to create a structured home environment, encourage attentiveness an...

Just go to the “FRONTLINE” Web site for the episode of the Medicated Child. There you will find a wealth of information and can watch the entire program. “FRONTLINE” is one of the best programs on TV today and I recommend it highly. Here are the first two paragraphs verbatim from the introduction page of this show’s Web site: In recent years, there’s been a dramatic increase in the...
