| | |  International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Involuntary treatment - JustificationsJustification for involuntary treatment is often attempted by emphasizing the potential for severe consequences that may result from lack of treatment, such as homelessness, victimization, suicide, violence. However, critics argue that psychiatric treatment can also have severe consequences such as misdiagnosis, psychiatric assault and disabling drug side effects.
Involuntary treatment is generally undertaken at the behest of family members. Supporters of involuntary treatment include mainstream organizations such as the National Alli ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Mental health - Overview Some experts consider mental health as a continuum. Thus, an individual's mental health may have many different possible values. Mental wellness is generally viewed as a positive attribute, such that a person can reach enhanced levels of mental health, even if they do not have any diagnosable mental illness. This definition of mental health highlights emotional well being, the capacity to live a full and creative life and the flexibility to deal with life's inevitable challenges. Many therapeutic systems and self-help books offer methods and philosophies espousing presumably effective strategies and techniques for further improving the me ...

Laura's Law - Supporters.
Passage of the bill was supported by organizations such as the California Treatment Advocacy Coalition (an affiliate of the Treatment Advocacy Center), the California Psychiatric Association, the Police Chief's Association, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). NAMI has been vocally criticized by opponents, particularly members of the psychiatric survivors movement, for advocating involuntary psychiatric drug treatment and for having excessive ties to the pharmaceutical ind ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Psychiatry - Practice of psychiatry Psychiatry is one of the clinical medical disciplines which involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental and behavioral disorders such as clinical depression, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders. In addition to the clinical interview through face-to-face consultation, psychiatrists use information collated from other sources such as other health and social professionals, medical investigations ( e.g.laboratory tests to rule out thyroid dysfunction or anemia, CT brain Scan to rule out a brain tumour ) to diagnose these conditions. Occasionally, other techniques such ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Psychopathology - Psychopathology as the study of mental illness Many different professions may be involved in studying mental illness or distress. Most notably, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists are particularly interested in this area and may either be involved in clinical treatment of mental illness, or research into the origin, development and manifestations of such states, or often, both. More widely, many different specialties may be involved in the study of psychopathology. For example, a neuroscientist may focus on brain changes related to mental illness. Therefore, someone who is referred to as a psychopathologist, m ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Mental illness - Prevalence and diagnosis According to the 2003 report of the U.S. President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, major mental illness, including clinical depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, when compared with all other diseases (such as cancer and heart disease), is the most common cause of disability in the United States. According to National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), an American advocacy organisation which accepts funding from the pharmaceutical industry, 23% of North American adults will suffer from a ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Mental illness - Controversy over its nature The subject is profoundly controversial. For example, homosexuality was once considered such an "illness" (see DSM-II), and this perception varies with cultural bias and theory of conduct.
Neurochemical studies have proven that there are systemic lacks of certain neurotransmitters in the brains of certain individuals. Also, some structural or neuroanatomical differences between brains of people with behavioral differences can be detected via neuroimaging. Some mental illnesses tend to run in families, and there have also been strongly ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Personality disorder - Current thinking and criticism The DSM attempts to represent a consensus view of the members of the American Psychiatric Association. However, more so than in other parts of the DSM, the classification of Axis II personality disorders—deeply ingrained, maladaptive, lifelong behaviour patterns—has come under sustained and serious criticism from its inception in 1952. The DSM adopts a categorical approach, assuming that personality disorders are "qualitatively distinct clinical syndromes" (p. 689). This is doubted by many. The polythetic form of the DSM's Diagnostic Cri ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Involuntary treatment - Mental health law Every state in the US allows for some form of involuntary treatment, although criteria varies.[3] Since the late 1990s, there has been a growing number of states that have adopted Assisted Outpatient Commitment (AOC) laws.[4].
Under 'assisted' outpatient commitment, involuntary patients can live outside the psychiatric hospital, sometimes under strict conditions including reporting to mandatory psychiatric appointments, taking psychiatric drugs in the presence of a nursing team, and proving medication blood levels. For ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Psychiatry - Contrast with psychology Psychiatry is practised by psychiatrists, who are medical doctors specializing in mental illness and who are therefore trained to prescribe drugs in addition to any psychosocial treatment they may recommend. Psychiatrists ideally evaluate patients from a biopsychosocial perspective before prescribing treatment.
Psychology is the larger study of human behavior and thought processes. Psychology is as much an academic field of study (like biology or sociology) as a profession, and as a whole, is concerned with the study of normal everyda ...

| | | | International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology: Encyclopedia II - Involuntary treatment - Criticisms Anti-psychiatry groups, loosely allied with members of the psychiatric survivors movement, vigorously oppose involuntary treatment on civil rights grounds. Also, critics oppose involuntary treatment because of the significant potential for side effects, ranging from mild to severe structural brain damage, and because of its emphasis upon enforcing compliance via chemical restraints over practices aimed at achieving mental health.
The Church of Scientology is also aggressively opposed to involuntary treatment, although its methods of dealing with mental disorders (e.g., Rehabilitation Project Force) have led to tragedies ...
