Psychiatry in the News

Psychiatry in the News summarizes consumer-oriented media reports on psychiatry and topics related to psychiatry. We recognize that for our readers, keeping abreast of new clinical information is a challenge, leaving little time to review the information, good and bad, that media outlets supply to consumers. Our purpose is to help keep you informed about subjects that your patients might read or hear and question you about.

Please note that publication of the reports in this department does not imply endorsement of the methods or systems described.

We hope you find this department both informative and entertaining. As always, we welcome your comments and contributions; please e-mail marcher@slackinc.com.
