  • Delusion Is Not a Bug

    Open AccessBrent R CarrARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2026

    Recent debates about AI “guardrails” in mental health have framed a problem as one of detecting delusion. This paper argues that such framing misunderstands both psychiatry and large language models. In clinical practice, delusion is not simply a false belief but a structure of conviction that stabilizes meaning under conditions of uncertainty. Large language models, by contrast, generate coherence rather than evaluate truth. When these systems i…

  • Deep brain stimulation programming for intractable obsessive–compulsive disorder using a long pulse width

    Open AccessEmily Beydler, Lauren Katzell et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Three months post-programming, the patient reported significant improvement in OCD symptoms, particularly checking behaviors, with response sustained over the next several months. As with our case, the majority of DBS lead contacts do not induce affective or physiological markers in patients, complicating programming optimization. Here, we discuss an approach to titrating various stimulation parameters and purported mechanisms of physiological ma…

  • Electroconvulsive therapy use for refractory status epilepticus in an implantable vagus nerve stimulation patient

    Open AccessLauren Katzell, Emily Beydler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    This case describes various treatment strategies, constraints, and device limitations when using ECT for the treatment of SE. With wide variability in efficacy rates of ECT in the treatment of SE in the literature, successful and unsuccessful cases offer information on optimizing ECT total charge dose and parameters that yielded success. This case demonstrates an instance of ECT inefficacy in the treatment of SRSE. Here, we discuss the rationale …

    Open AccessEmily Beydler, Emily M Beydler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Mixed episodes present a treatment challenge given their limited treatment options and diminished responses. Previous research has shown decreased efficacy of lithium and antipsychotics in mixed episodes with dysphoric mood such as the episode our patient experienced. One open-label study of low-frequency right-sided rTMS showed promising results in patients with treatment-refractory depression with mixed features, but the role of rTMS in the man…

  • Rapid symptom control in neuroleptic malignant syndrome with electroconvulsive therapy

    Open AccessLauren Katzell, Emily Beydler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Brisk identification of potentially life-threatening NMS and NMS-like states, including malignant catatonia, warrants a trial of ECT. ECT's theoretical mechanisms of action coincide with the theoretical pathophysiology of the conditions. It is a viable and safe treatment option for reducing mortality. With prompt initiation of ECT, we obtained rapid control of a condition with a potentially high mortality
