Cosmetic Psychopharmacology?
We read everywhere that psychotropics are over-prescribed. The DSM
guidelines have pathologized normal reactions and DSM-V promises to make
this even more so. For example, over 11% of children are now diagnosed
with Attention Deficit Disorder. Our friend, Dr. Mojtabai, tells us
that many patients who are given antidepressants by primary care doctors
don't have a psychiatric diagnosis, our colleague, Dr. Frances (and
many others) doesn't want normal symptoms of grief to be diagnosed as
major depression after 2 weeks of symptoms, and our readers have written
in saying that there are effective ...

My Shrink Rap Life vs. My Real Psychiatry Life
Soon --April 21st to be precise-- Shrink Rap will celebrate it's 7th year as a blog. No plans yet, but they are sure to include food.
Seven years later, and I want to say that Shrink Rap life remains distinctly different from my real life as a clinician. Before Shrink Rap, the concept of anti-psychiatry was a foreign one to me. The idea that there were people out there who saw psychiatry as bad, that psychiatric medications cause more harm than good and should be made illegal for all, that psychiatry was about power, that the patient and doctor were anything but on the same side, that diagnosis -- a word...

Tourette Syndrome “PLUS”
URL: http://www.tourettesyndrome.net/This site represents more than just “book knowledge” or clinical experience, however. It also incorporates my experiences as a family member and pro bono advocate for the Tourette’s Syndrome community. As the parent of two young adults with TS+ and as the spouse of a man with TS+, I know some of the pain and challenges that family members face on a daily basis.
This web site is my way of sharing some of what I’ve learned personally and professionally in my journey over the past 21 years. If it helps another family, teacher, or colleague, I am delighted.
For: Anyone, Anyone, Anyo...

How to Pick an ADHD Therapist Who’s Right for You
Medication is highly effective for treating ADHD. But it can’t teach you skills for living successfully with the disorder. And it can’t help you overcome common co-occurring concerns such as low self-esteem. That’s where psychotherapy comes in.
Psychotherapy targets specific ADHD symptoms that interfere with daily life, such as disorganization, distractibility and impulsivity. It helps you better understand your ADHD and improve all areas of your life, including home, work and relationships.
But not all therapists are created equal. That’s why it’s important to do your research, and be selective. Below, t...

A Pep Talk for Those With Treatment-Resistant Depression
In his book, Understanding Depression: What We Know And What You Can Do About It, J. Raymond DePaulo Jr., M.D. asserts that for the 20 percent of his patients who are more difficult to treat, or “treatment-resistant,” he sets an 80 percent improvement, 80 percent of the time goal. And he usually accomplishes that.
Now, if you’re not someone who has struggled with chronic depression, those stats won’t warrant a happy dance.
But if you’re someone like myself, who assesses her mood before her eyes are open in the morning, hoping to God that the crippling anxiety isn’t there, then those numbers will have you singi...

Demystifying the ADHD Evaluation
Where do you go if your child’s teacher tells you your child has symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? What if you see your child struggling in school?
It can be overwhelming if your child is not doing well academically, behaviorally or socially. However, there are professionals available to guide you through the process of finding a diagnosis and getting treatment.
Your pediatrician or family physician is one type of professional to approach for assistance. At the first visit, your physician most likely will get a complete academic, learning and activity history from you and your child. It would b...

Why me ? A guide for the infertile couple searching for answers !
Why do bad things happen to good people ? Why do good people suffer ? This question arises in our mind many a time , but most frequently when we are suffering ourselves. Most infertile couples ask themselves - ‘Why is this happening to me?’ I am a good person. I haven’t done any harm to anyone. I am fond of children. When everyone around me has children so easily, why am I doomed to suffer physically, financially , socially and emotionally ? Did I do something wrong ? Is it a punishment from God ? Why is the natural happiness of having children denied to me ?” Most of the time , there are no answers to ...

We're Still Talking About Those Damn CPT Codes
Over on Clinical Psychiatry News, my dear co-blogger, Roy, has an article on the value of organized medicine and the good things about the big picture of using E/M codes for psychiatry. He's a fan. Check out his article HERE.
Roy discusses why people (like me) don't like the new CPT coding and lists some reasons. He's a big advocate of parity, and mental illness like any other disorder, so I do understand why he likes E/M coding, it's what the other docs do. I also understand that it makes no sense to pay one fee for a 'med check' no matter how long or complex it is, and why E/M rates may make sense for ...

Acupuncture vs botox for chronic headaches
ACUPUNCTURE VS BOTOX FOR CHRONIC HEADACHESOvee 70% of women and 50% of men have disabling headaches. Often emotional stress is implicated, but many people have headaches at time of stress free weekends. It is difficult to label a headache by its type, as muscle contraction headaches are often confused with other headaches.Headaches often occur because of stress, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, eating cheese and wine and other tyramine foods, MSG, nitrites in hot dogs, chocolates, flickering lights, missed meals, allergens, and vaso-dilating drugs.Many headache treatments exist and most are ineffective. The drugs b...
