About


The Amazing World of Psychiatry blog is a celebration of psychiatry and the benefits it brings to people and society.

There is a loose structure to the blog with a rotating 7 day schedule

1. Review of a biological paper in psychiatry

2. Review of a psychological paper in psychiatry

3. Review of a sociological paper in psychiatry

4. Weekly review of a book in psychiatry or related areas

5. Review of a psychiatry related blog

6. Weekly review of news (including any relevant blog updates)

7. Weekly review of psychiatry related podcasts

There will also be miscellaneous articles.

The blog is geared to those with an interest in psychiatry, be that psychiatrists, allied health professionals or people who are simply interested to find out more about psychiatry. I will be experimenting with accessibility so there may be some subtle changes in presentation. Sometimes I might get a little bit carried away with anthropology! If you have any thoughts about how the blog might be improved, please do leave comments.

Conflict of Interest Declaration (13.10.08)

I have received a one-off paid speaker fee for a talk on an antidepressant in 2006 but none subsequently. I have previously attended pharmaceutical-sponsored talks with meals. This should not however bias my writing on this blog.

I am training in EMDR and may be biased in selecting papers in this area (including those on dissociation).

    I appreciate the scope and the substance of your blog. I would be interested to know how your background has shaped your perspective. Would you consider adding a biographical sketch to your About page (or adding an About Me page)?

    Thanks!

    Hi Justin – I’m currently a resident in Psychiatry at Stanford and have been enjoying the various types of articles you have written! I have a particular interest in the intersection between athletics/competition and psychiatry, and have recently begun to write extensively on this topic. (If you get a chance, check it out-would love to get feedback from an experienced blogger in the field). I look forward to reading your upcoming posts!

    Best,
    Zaakir Y.

    Justin,

    I’d like to ask you a couple of questions. Would you be able to contact me via email? Thank you!

    Dear Merrill
    Thank you very much – this is an excellent poster – truly fantastic information. My only suggestion is that it might be worth reviewing the phrase ‘broken mind’ as the mind works well in many ways and in some cases there is complete recovery whilst in many other cases there can be a full enjoyment of life and ability to function well in many areas.

    Regards

    Justin
