Generation Y - TV overview. Similar to the case with movies, members of iGeneration and Gen Y at large are purported to watch much less [10] television in comparison to members of past generations. This is largely attributed to the popularity of the Internet, [11] which was formerly relegated to so-called "nerds" or "geeks". Mundane programming and lacking television series which honestly depict (and thus appeal) to Gen Y are some contributors of this. Although reality shows are viewed by some, it seems most reality series are actually more ...

Many critics point to the fact that Gen Y lacks any consistent literary figure [12] that represents the generation, as all previous generations seem to have had. Although J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books are immensely popular, the series isn't widely regarded as literary items of Gen Y in particular, as the popularity of the books can be attributed to Rowling's unique approach to literature. She is ofte ...

Currently ECT is mainly used to treat severe depression, particularly if complicated by psychosis (NIH & NIMH Consensus Conference, 1985; Depression Guideline Panel, 1993; Potter & Rudorfer, 1993). It is also used in cases of severe depression where antidepressant medication (sometimes in multiple courses), psychotherapy, or both have proven ineffective (refractory depression) (Potter et al., 1991; Depression Guideline Panel, 1993), when medication cannot be taken, or when other treatments would be too slow (for example, in a person ...

Electroconvulsive therapy - Side-effect profile. Much of the risk of electroshock arises from the use of general anesthesia. There is much disagreement over the other risks of electroshock. The most common adverse effects are confusion and retrograde memory loss for events surrounding the period of ECT treatment. Some of the confusion and disorientation seen upon awakening after ECT clear soon after electroshock, although ongoing and debilitating problems h ...

Informed consent is an integral part of the ECT process (NIH & NIMH Consensus Conference, 1985). The potential benefits and risks of this treatment, and of available alternative interventions, should be carefully reviewed and discussed with patients and, where appropriate, family or friends. Prospective candidates for ECT should be informed, for example, that its benefits are short-lived without active continuation treatment, and that there may be some risk of permanent severe memory loss after ECT. Anti-electroshock activists report tha ...

Some studies  — later confirmed in controlled clinical trials which included the use of simulated or "sham" ECT as a control (Janicak et al., 1985), have determined ECT to be highly effective against severe depression, some acute psychotic states, and mania (Small et al., 1988). No controlled study has shown any other treatment to have superior efficacy to ECT in the treatment of depression (Janicak et al., 1985; Rudorfer et al., 1997). ECT has not been demonstrated to be effective in dysthymia, substance abuse, anxiety, or per ...

On December 12, 2001, Winona Ryder was arrested for shoplifting thousands of dollars' worth of designer clothes and accessories at Saks Fifth Avenue department store in Beverly Hills, California. L.A. District Attorney Stephen Cooley set up a team of eight prosecutors and seized the opportunity to prosecute the actress aggressively and filed four felony charges against her in what was described by The Guardian (UK) as a show-trial since the prosecution demanded the trial be televised. Ms. Ryder hired noted defense attorney Mark Geragos and mounted her defense to fight the charges. Negotiations ...

Some observers, notably psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz, have objected to calling mental hospitals "hospitals" (see anti-psychiatry). Lawrence Stevens has described mental hospitals as "jails." In particular, anti-psychiatry activists have advocated for the abolition of long-term hospitals for the criminally insane on the grounds that the insanity defense should not be permitted, and those confined to such institutions should be incarcerated in a regular prison instead, others on the grounds that the inmates' confinement to these "hospitals" punishes them for ...

There are a number of different types of modern psychiatric hospitals or wards. Psychiatric hospital - Crisis stabilisation. One type is the crisis stabilisation unit, which is in effect an emergency room for mental disorders. Because involuntary commitment laws in many jurisdictions require a judge to issue a commitment order within a short time (often 72 hours) of the patient's entry to the unit and because moving a severely ill mental patient can be extremely dangerous, especially as the patient may try ...

Generation Y - Technology. This generation was the first generation to use or witness the following technology from an early age: The Internet (the World Wide Web), in a more prolific form for the general user ('consumer'-friendly) rather than technically oriented.

Mental hospitals are often depicted as frightening places in fiction, where treatments are forced upon inmates by uncaring staff, or inmates themselves are either violently deranged or sinister. Although there have been many cases of abuse of patients in real life, and some conditions do occasionally result in violent behaviour, this stereotype of mental hospitals is fairly misleading. Some recent depictions of mental hospitals in the media include: The A-team member H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock lived in the psychiat ...

In addition to the categorized illnesses, there are many well-defined symptoms of mental illness, such as paranoia, that are not regarded as illnesses in themselves, but only as indicators of one of the illnesses belonging to one of the classes listed above. Crime is not a symptom of mental illness; however, movies often portray murderers as being mentally ill. This makes a villain more emotional, interesting, and dramatic. In truth, mentally disturbed p ...

Strictly speaking, there is no cure for mental illness. Many conditions, like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, can be treated with medication, however. The function of the psychiatrist is in administering, monitoring, and managing the prescription of these medications and their effects on the patient. Loosely speaking, there is a cure for some mental conditions in the same sense that there is a cure for cancer. That is, if a person has a mental illness, it can be treated until the symptoms disappear. The chances of the ...

Procedures for involuntary ECT vary from country to country depending on local mental health laws. Legal proceedings are required in some countries whilst in others ECT is seen as another form of treatment that may be given involuntarily as long as legal conditions are observed.

In every state, the administration of ECT on an involuntary basis requires such a judicial proceeding at which patients may be represented ...
