Scientific Fraud About Brain Scan Findings
Brain scans using fMRI are used more and more by some psychiatrists to "prove" that certain behavioral disorders are brain abnormalities when most differences merely reflect performance variables or, more importantly, conditioned responses to prevalent environmental factors. Some differences may reflect disease, but other factors have to be considered to know for sure.read more

The Connection Between OCD & Psychosis
When my son Dan’s obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) became severe, he was in college, fifteen hundred miles away from home. My husband and I arranged for him to see a psychiatrist near his school, who telephoned us (with our son’s permission) after he met with Dan. The doctor certainly didn’t sugarcoat anything. “Your son is suffering from severe OCD, and he is borderline psychotic.”
I knew very little about OCD at that time, but I knew what psychotic meant: out of touch with reality. I was terrified. Psychosis made me think of schizophrenia, though that illness was never mentioned. In fact, after I united with...

Findings could improve understanding of ADHD, schizophrenia, and other neuropsychiatric diseases
Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers have found that decision-making accuracy can be improved by postponing the onset of a decision by a mere fraction of a second. The results could further our understanding of neuropsychiatric conditions characterized by abnormalities in cognitive function and lead to new training strategies to improve decision-making in high-stake environments. The study was published in the online issue of the journal PLoS One.

Children of older men at greater risk of mental illness, study suggests
Research finds children born to fathers aged over 45 were more likely to have mental health problems and do poorly at schoolChildren born to fathers over the age of 45 are at greater risk of developing psychiatric problems and more likely to struggle at school, according to the findings of a large-scale study.The research found that children with older fathers were more often diagnosed with disorders such as autism, psychosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They also reported more drug abuse and suicide attempts, researchers said.The children's difficulties seemed to af...

What can Dick Swaab tells us about sex and the brain?
The Dutch neuroscientist is as celebrated as he is sneered at for his theories on brain development differing between men and women – and how sexuality is decided in the wombControversy delights Dick Swaab; brains delight him; complexity delights him, though I don't know if you'd get that from reading his book, We Are Our Brains, in which causal links are made quite casually, like a man doing a crossword with a pencil.The Dutch neurologist is, after a 50-year career, a giant in the field.

UCLA joins international effort to study genetics of schizophrenia in deletion syndrome patients
UCLA has joined an international consortium to investigate the high rates of schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders in those who are affected with Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a disorder caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome number 22.
A multisystem disorder, Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome can also include developmental delays and developmental and behavioral differences across the life span.
The International Consortium on Brain and Behavior in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome is a large-scale effort involving 22 institutions in North America, including UCLA, as well as se...

New data reveal extent of genetic overlap between major mental disorders
(NIH/National Institute of Mental Health) The largest genome-wide study of its kind has determined how much five major mental illnesses are traceable to the same common inherited genetic variations. Researchers funded in part by the National Institutes of Health found that the overlap was highest between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; moderate for bipolar disorder and depression and for ADHD and depression; and low between schizophrenia and autism. Overall, common genetic variation accounted for 17-28 percent of risk for the illnesses.

Psychiatrists: the drug pushers
Is the current epidemic of depression and hyperactivity the result of disease-mongering by the psychiatric profession and big pharma? Does psychiatry have any credibility left at all?A psychiatrist who once "treated" me used to recite this rueful little mantra: "They say failed doctors become psychiatrists, and that failed psychiatrists specialise in drugs." By drugs this psychiatrist meant drugs of addiction – and his "treatment" of me consisted of prescribing Temgesic, a synthetic opiate, as a substitute for the heroin I was more strongly inclined to take. So, he undertook this role: actin...
