Battered and Bruised Minds Lead to Homelessness

via Battleland » Military Mental Health by Mark Thompson on 5/8/12

The Department of Veterans Affairs first-ever large-scale study of homeless vets shows that the vast majority of homeless vets have mental disorders. “Majorities of the newly homeless diagnosed with mental disorders…were diagnosed before they became homeless, indicating mental disorders usually occurred before homelessness,” the Department of Veterans Affairs inspector general said in a report issued [...]

DSM5 in Distress

The DSM's impact on mental health practice and research.

Newsflash From APA Meeting: DSM 5 Has Flunked Its Reliability Tests

Needs to be kept back for another year.

Published on May 6, 2012 by Allen J. Frances, M.D. in DSM5 in Distress

The whole purpose of having a manual of psychiatric diagnosis is to promote diagnostic agreement. The great value to the field of DSM III was that it established reliability and preserved the credibility of psychiatry at a time when it was becoming irrelevant because it seemed that psychiatrists could not agree on a diagnosis. Everyone knew that the reliability achieved in DSM field testing far exceeds what is possible in clinical practice, but DSM III took the major step of proving that reliability could be achieved at all. Until now, the DSM's have facilitated communication across the clinical/research interface, promoted research, and provide credibility in the court room.
But bad news has just been reported from the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Philadelphia. The hard won credibility of psychiatric diagnosis is compromised by the abysmal results reported by the DSM 5 Field Trials. This failure was clearly predictable from the start: 1) The writing of the DSM 5 criteria sets was far too raw and imprecise to be ready for the rigors of field testing. The ambiguity cried out for expert editing; without which reasonable reliability is impossible; 2) The design of the field trial was byzantine in complexity and could never be done on schedule: 3) Constant delays in starting and completing Stage 1 of the study forced DSM 5 to cancel the planned Stage 2 that was meant to clean up the poorly performing criteria sets identified in the first stage. 4) With stage 2 cancelled without explanation, it looks like even the worst diagnoses are being given a social pass; and, most absurd, 5) The design was totally off point, failing to ask the only question that really counted ( the impact of DSM 5 on rates).

The results of the DSM 5 field trials are a disgrace to the field. For context, in previous DSM's, a diagnosis had to have a kappa reliability of about 0.6 or above to be considered acceptable. A reliability of .2-4 has always been considered completely unacceptable, not much above chance agreement.

No predetermined publication date justifies business as usual in the face of these terrible Field Trial results (which are even more striking since they were obtained in academic settings with trained and skilled interviewers, highly selected patients, and no time pressure. The results in real world settings would be much lower). Reliability this low for so many diagnoses gravely undermines the credibility of DSM 5 as a basis for administrative coding, treatment selection, and clinical research.
What can be done to salvage this deplorable mess:
1) DSM 5 has never had anyone on board who could write a clean, consistent, unambiguous criteria set. DSM 5 received either no editing at all or amateur editing. Getting the words right is certain not enough- but If you can't get them right, nothing else can ever be safe.
2) For DSM 5 to retrieve credibility, it complete the second planned stage of its field testing. If doing the job right must delay publication so be it. Public trust must trump private publishing profits and it is self defeating for APA to publish a book no one can trust.
I have been consistently pessimistic and critical about DSM 5 since my first piece on it 3 years ago. The sad thing is I can still be so surprised. Each step of the way I predict it will fail in one or another way. But then I discover that DSM 5 has managed to fail in ways that go beyond my poor imagination. This assault on reliability was predicted, but its scope exceeds even my jaundiced fears and creates a DSM 5 emergency.

Fractured system turns prisons in 'asylums': The nation's first mental-health strategy from the Mental Health Commission of Canada is calling for an overhaul of a system it calls so fractured and under-funded that it's turning prisons and jails into the "asylums of the 21st century"

Fractured system turns prisons in 'asylums'

Sweeping recommendations call for prevention programs, better screening and increased funding

By Sharon Kirkey, Postmedia NewsMay 8, 2012 3:04 AM

The nation's first mental-health strategy from the Mental Health Com-mission of Canada is calling for an overhaul of a system it calls so fractured and under-funded that it's turning prisons and jails into the "asylums of the 21st century" and leading many community service groups to drop waiting lists to avoid giving people false hope that "eventually their turn will come."
The strategy calls for spending on mental health to increase from seven to nine per cent of total health spending over 10 years, an increase of $3 to 4 billion. According to the commission, the economic impact of mental illness on Canada's economy is "enormous," at least $50 billion annually.
The strategy's 109 recommendations include:
. Creating mentally healthy work-places (an estimated $6 billion is lost every year due to absenteeism and "presenteeism," meaning people who go to work sick, commission staff said);
. More community and school-based mental illness prevention programs targeted at children and youth, especially those most at risk because of poverty, having a parent with a mental-health or addiction problem or family violence, and more support for parents and caregivers;
. Shifting policies and practices toward a "recovery and well being" model;
. Reducing the use of seclusion and restraints in hospitals;
. Improving access to treatments, including publicly funded psychotherapy and medications;
. More screening for mental-health problems and suicide risk, and more support for groups with high overall suicide rates, including older men, first nations and Inuit youth, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth. According to the commission, of the 4,000 Canadians who die from suicide each year, the majority were suffering from a mental illness;
. Stopping disclosure in police record checks of instances when police use provisions of a Mental Health Act to apprehend a person who is in cri-sis, information that can be disclosed even when no offence has been com-mitted and no charges laid, making it difficult for people to volunteer or get a job, and;
. More "diversion programs," including mental-health courts and restorative justice programs to keep people living with mental-health illnesses out of prison.
"People living with mental-health problems and illnesses - whatever their age and however severe their mental-health problems or illness - and their families should be able to count on timely access to the full range of options for mental-health services, treatments and supports, just as they would expect if they were confronting heart disease or cancer," states the strategy, Changing Directions, Changing Lives.
The mental-health commission was born from the groundbreaking 2006 Senate committee report Out of the Shadows at Last, the most exhaustive study of mental health in the nation's history.

PFE +0.31% said its Pristiq extended-release antidepressant showed positive results in a long-term study of adults when compared with a placebo. In a long-term study, patients who received 50 milligrams a day of Pristiq showed a relapse probability of 14.3% compared with 30.2% for the group taking a placebo at month six. The drug also showed statistically significant reductions in depression symptoms in an eight-week study of peri- and postmenopausal women, compared with a placebo. Pfizer and other drug makers have been aiming to expand uses of older drugs as the industry deals with popular drugs coming off patent. Pfizer's blockbuster anti-cholesterol drug Lipitor lost U.S. marketing exclusively in November, leading to weaker corporate results in recent quarters. Pfizer said the latest study results—presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association—added to data supporting Pristiq's effectiveness and safety. A study of patients who stopped taking Pristiq abruptly after 24 weeks showed no statistically significant difference in discontinuation symptoms when compared with those who tapered off their use over the course of a week. Pristiq was approved in the U.S. in 2008 as a treatment for major depressive disorder in adults. The drug also has been approved in some countries outside the U.S., including Mexico, to treat menopausal symptoms. The drug remains on the market for its approved uses. Pfizer inherited Pristiq with its 2009 acquisition of Wyeth. A version of this article appeared May 8, 2012, on page D4 in some U.S. editions of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: New Study of Depression Drug.

"Delusions are... now conceptualized as dimensional entities rather than categorical ones, lying at the extreme end of a "belief continuum"...
A truly comprehensive model of the persecutory delusion requires further elucidation at the neurochemical and genetic levels.
Finally, genetic studies, in the absence of a definitively linked genomic region of, for example, schizophrenia R1584BABBEHIC, currently are being designed to reduce genetic heterogeneity at the entry point of proband ascertainment. Thus, dimensional variables (e.g., delusional ideation, social cognitive skills) or symptom clusters (e.g., reality distortion) become intermediate phenotypes worthy of study (for preliminary examples of this approach, see references R1584BABJIDCA–R1584BABEFBIB). If the relevant social cognitive mechanisms can be reliably characterized and shown to be heritable, this approach could lead to more definitive linkage results and to the elucidation of the genetic background of the illnesses in which persecutory delusions arise."

[Neuropsychological aspects of delusional disorders. Characteristic attributional style or cognitive deficit?].

[Article in German]

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

"Pure" delusional disorders are clinically rare, and the neuropsychology of such disorders is poorly understood. Whereas "deficit" models suggest a cognitive impairment accounting for the incorrigible fixation of false beliefs, cognitive models propose the existence of a characteristic attributional style in patients to stabilise a fragile self.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

The cognitive flexibility and attributional style of 21 patients diagnosed with delusional disorder according to ICD-10 were compared with a group of healthy controls paralleled for age, sex, education, and intelligence.

RESULTS:

Patients with delusional disorders made more errors and more perseverative errors in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test compared with controls. However, these differences were only significant in patients with a comorbid depression. In contrast to earlier studies, patients with delusional disorders did not attribute negative events to external or personal causes more often than healthy controls, but partly tended to show a depressive attributional style.

CONCLUSION:

Our results do not support either a cognitive deficit in patients with delusional disorders or a characteristic attributional style. In terms of treatment recommendations, a thorough diagnosis of comorbid depressive disorders in patients with delusional disorders is warranted.

Beyond alcoholism: Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome in patients with psychiatric disorders.
Cogn Behav Neurol. 2011 Dec;24(4):209-16
Authors: McCormick LM, Buchanan JR, Onwuameze OE, Pierson RK, Paradiso S
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome (the combined disorder is named Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome [WKS]) are preventable, life-threatening neuropsychiatric syndromes resulting from thiamine deficiency. WKS has historically been associated with alcoholism; more recently, it has been recognized in patients who have anorexia nervosa or have undergone bariatric surgery for obesity. However, patients with nutritional deficiencies of any origin are at risk for WKS. We present clinical histories and neuroimaging data on 2 young adults with underlying psychiatric disorders who became malnourished and developed WKS.
METHODS: A young woman with bipolar disorder and somatization disorder was hospitalized for intractable vomiting. A young man with chronic paranoid schizophrenia developed delusions that food and water were harmful, and was hospitalized after subsisting for 4 months on soda pop.
RESULTS: Acute, life-threatening Wernicke encephalopathy was confirmed in both patients by brain magnetic resonance imaging showing classic thalamic injury. The patients were left with persistent cognitive and physical disabilities that were consistent with Korsakoff syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Failure to suspect a vitamin deficiency led to permanent cognitive and physical disabilities that may necessitate lifelong care for these patients. The neuropsychiatric consequences could have been prevented by prompt recognition of their thiamine deficiency.

[Cognitive aspects and treatment of delusional disorders.].

[Article in French]

O'Connor KP, Stip E, Robillard S.

Abstract

This article reviews the cognitive phenomenology of delusional disorders (DD) and examines the current cognitive models. Some case studies have shown considerable promise concerning the utilisation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of DD, even if this approach is in its infancy. Although the stages of CBT to treat DD are very similar to that of other psychotic disorders, there are also considerable differences. However, it is essential to combine several strategies in order to modify inferences specific to DD. The clinical evaluation of delusions as well as the application of CBT as a treatment is illustrated in two cases with a diagnosis of DD with persecutory subtype. The cases required different time periods for different stages of CBT and highlight the importance of tailoring CBT according to need.

A multifactorial model of the formation and maintenance of persecutory delusions is presented. Persecutory delusions are conceptualized as threat beliefs. The beliefs are hypothesized to arise from a search for meaning for internal or external experiences that are unusual, anomalous, or emotionally significant for the individual. The persecutory explanations formed reflect an interaction between psychotic processes, pre-existing beliefs and personality (particularly emotion), and the environment. It is proposed that the delusions are maintained by processes that lead to the receipt of confirmatory evidence and processes that prevent the processing of disconfirmatory evidence. Novel features of the model include the (non-defended) direct roles given to emotion in delusion formation, the detailed consideration of both the content and form of delusions, and the hypotheses concerning the associated emotional distress. The clinical and research implications of the model are outlined.
