There is a growing concern regarding the quality of communication between medical professionals and those who receive mental health services from them . One focus of this concern has been around how the medics convey information to their patients – or not. “A Question of Choice” surveyed the treatment experiences service users. At the basic level of talking about treatment, and taking steps to ensure correct administration of drugs, a third or more of users reported no communication from their doctor; while about two thirds reported being given no information on possible side effects of their treatment or being offered any choice of treatment.

Admission patterns by psychiatric trainees: are women patients as likely as men to be admitted for major mental illness?

The authors hypothesised that the increased admission rate for men with major mental illness may be the result of men being preferentially admitted by psychiatrists. A questionnaire survey was devised and sent to all psychiatric trainees on the South-East Scotland rotation. The questionnaire contained a series of psychiatric vignettes representing conditions varying in severity of risk. Seventy-eight per cent responded to the questionnaire. Trainees were more likely to admit patients representing a greater degree of risk irrespective of the gender of the patient. The authors conclude that the increasing admission rates for men with major mental illness is unlikely to be due to admission bias by trainees.

This study investigated psychiatric symptoms and deviance at the age of 15 years among children involved in bullying at the age of 8 years or at the age of 12 years. Furthermore, the relationships between involvement in bullying at the age of 8 years, concurrent psychiatric deviance, and later psychiatric deviance were studied. Questionnaires filled in by the parents, teachers and children themselves were used to reveal psychiatric symptoms and deviance. Concludes that bullying experiences are connected not only to concurrent psychiatric symptoms but also to future psychiatric symptoms., Furthermore, the probability of being deviant in adolescence is increased if the child has been involved in bullying at elementary school age.
