Playing with the dials of belief
Contemporary generative AI systems, increasingly adapted to human social cognition, are becoming active participants in how people form and revise beliefs. Clinicians have begun to describe AI-associated delusion-centred presentations whose onset or content appears closely associated with users’ extended dialogue with large language models. Many more users report subclinical shifts in conviction and “revelatory” experiences that alter behaviour a…
La psychanalyse dans le corset des directives. La réglementation des traitements psychanalytiques dans le cadre de l’assurance maladie
Au centre de cet article se trouve La « directive sur la psychothérapie », qui réglemente l’application de la psychanalyse dans le cadre de l’assurance maladie. L’auteur aborde dans cette première partie, tout d’abord la relation entre la psychanalyse et le traitement des malades, pour ensuite exposer l’histoire de l’établissement de la « directive » et son caractère de compromis. Ensuite sont discutés certains éléments de la réglementation. Dans…
Reduced Activity in an Inpatient Liaison Psychiatry Service During the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in the way that healthcare was accessed and delivered in the United Kingdom (UK), particularly during the peak of the first lockdown period (the "first wave") beginning in March 2020. In some patients, COVID-19 is associated with acute neuropsychiatric manifestations, and there is suggestion that there may also be longer term neuropsychiatric complications. Despite this, at the time of writing ther…
Nonmedical prescription psychiatric drug use and the darknet
Predominantly, psychiatric drugs with potent sedative, stimulant or euphoriant effects are sold on cryptomarkets and this varies by country. With some caveats regarding the limitations of cryptomarket digital trace data taken into account, the study of trends of these products sold online over time may offer a novel and increasingly important window onto wider drug purchasing habits
Synaptic and Neuronal Autoantibody-Associated Psychiatric Syndromes
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) mediated by antibodies against synaptic and neuronal surface targets frequently presents with a psychiatric syndrome. In these patients, removal of autoantibodies treats the disease and outcomes are closely linked to early intervention. The discovery of these autoantibodies in isolated psychiatric syndromes has raised the possibility that these patients may derive similar benefits from immunotherapy, a potentially tra…
