In a previous article, I argued that assessment requirements for transgender hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are unethical and dehumanising. A recent response published by the Journal of Medical Ethics criticises this proposal. In this reply, I advance that their response misunderstood core parts of my argument and fails to provide independent support for assessment requirements. Though transition-related care may have similarities with cosmetic surgeries, this does not suffice to establish a need for assessments, and nor do the high rates of depression and anxiety justify assessments, espec

Objective: Discussions of capacity to consent in mental health care usually revolve around capacity to consent to treatment. This paper instead explores the issue of capacity to consent to sexual activity in a mental health inpatient setting as a way of exploring capacity from a different perspective. This is not a purely theoretical exercise, with both consensual sexual activity and sexual assault commonplace in mental health inpatient units, current policy and practice approaches are clearly not working and require re-examination.

Abstract:
To provide quality mental health care, a comprehensive assessment is needed. Without knowing what a person’s strengths and needs are, or at least might be, health professionals are unable to provide appropriate help and support. The emphasis on what happens between the nurse and the patient has to do with practice. It describes how to make assessments, what interventions are eff ective in the various everyday situations in which nurses fi nd themselves, and how to devel- op structures and systems to support this work.Within psychosocial assessment, the recovery approach, which takes a holistic view, focuses on the patient’s perception of strengths, needs, and goals and recognizes that individuals have personal strengths and abilities as well as needs. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the process of mental health assessment within the holistic nursing approach. It emphasizes that assessment is inextricably linked to other parts of the nursing process to create coherent, comprehensive, and personalized care for the patient and discusses the major components of mental health assessment, such as mental status using medical terminology, psychosocial assessment, and risk assessment.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter focuses on a salutogenic understanding of mental health based on the work of Corey Keyes. He is dedicated to research and analysis of mental health as subjective well-being, where mental health is seen from an insider perspective. Flourishing is the pinnacle of good mental health, according to Keyes. He describes how mental health is constituted by an affective state and psychological and social functioning, and how we can measure mental health by the Mental Health Continuum—Short Form (MHC-SF) questionnaire. Further, I elaborate on Keyes’ two continua model of mental health and mental illness, a highly useful model in the health care context, showing that the absence of mental illness does not translate into the presence of mental health. You can also read about how lived experiences of former patients support Keyes dual model of mental health and mental illness. This model makes it clear that people can perceive they have good mental health even with mental illness, as well as people with perceived poor or low mental health can be without any mental disorder. The cumulative evidence for seeing mental disorder and mental health function along two different continua, central mental health concepts, and research significant for health promotion are elaborated in this chapter.

Abstract:
AbstractThe use of coercion in mental health treatment is still controversial worldwide, with differing philosophical and cultural viewpoints influencing how patients are treated and given autonomy. To better understand compulsion in mental health, this research compares and contrasts Western and Eastern views, looking at the underlying ideologies, institutional structures, and real-world applications in each region.Western societies, especially those in the USA and Europe, place a strong focus on the autonomy and rights of the person, which frequently leads to a preference for minimum coercion in mental health care. The goal of legal frameworks like psychiatric advance directives and the informed consent concept is to protect patient autonomy and restrict forceful interventions. Nonetheless, discussions about striking a balance between paternalism and autonomy continue, particularly when it comes to individuals who are incapable of making their own decisions.On the other hand, Eastern methods of compulsion in mental health put the welfare of families and society before that of the individual. Coercive treatments may be more well-accepted by patients and their families in Asian nations where familial authority is highly valued, frequently as a tool to maintain societal harmony and filial piety. However, questions have been raised concerning the possibility of power abuse and the violation of individual rights in these systems.This chapter looks at the cultural underpinnings of Western and Eastern perspectives on coercion in mental health, as well as how these perspectives affect clinical practice and the formulation of public policy. Mental health practitioners can successfully negotiate moral problems and work towards promoting patient-centred care that respects cultural diversity and upholds fundamental human rights by being aware of the subtle differences between these various approaches.

Abstract:
AbstractFemawle Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or injury to the female genital organs that are medically unnecessary (i.e. performed primarily for cultural or religious reasons), especially when done without the consent of the affected person. Such procedures are usually carried out in infancy or childhood and, most often before the age of 15. Although some pictorial and training tools are available, existing literature focuses primarily on adults. The signs of FGM/C particularly in prepubertal girls, can be subtle and depend on the type as well as on the experience of the examiner. The health care provider (HCP) should be trained to be familiar with, and able to identify a wide range of both modified and unmodified genitalia, as well as findings that may superficially look like FGM/C but actually reflect the normal range of genital anatomy. Knowledge of FGM/C types and subtypes, as well as complications and differential diagnoses of physical findings, are critical. We present a reference guide and atlas containing iconographic material of both the pre- and post-pubertal external female genital area with and without genital cutting/alteration. Our purpose is to facilitate training of health care professionals in making accurate diagnoses, providing appropriate clinical management, ensuring culturally informed/sensitive patient–provider communication, and accurate recording and reporting to child welfare/law enforcement agencies, where required.

Abstract The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides standards against which mental health care provision may be measured. Article 9 provides everyone with the right to liberty and security of the person. It does not contain a list of exceptions, as is, for example to be found in Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). However, Article 9(1) prohibits ‘arbitrary arrest or detention’, and requires that no one be deprived of his or her liberty unless the grounds and procedure are ‘established by law’. Article 9(2) provides a right to be given reasons for one’s arrest. Article 9(4) secures a right to challenge one’s arrest or detention by application to a court; the court shall decide without delay upon the lawfulness of the detention and order his/ her release if the detention is not lawful. Article 9(5) guarantees victims of unlawful arrest and detention an enforceable right to compensation. Article 7 outlaws ‘torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment’ and also provides that no one is to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation without his or her free consent.

Abstract:
Abstract Consent is a moral concept that reflects the respect given by society towards the autonomy of its citizens. In clinical practice, consent allows an autonomous patient to define and protect his or her own interests and to control bodily privacy(1). However, there is a large and increasing number of patients who do not possess the ability to make autonomous healthcare decisions, in that they lack the capacity to think, decide, and act on the basis of such thought, independently and without hindrance by others. Such patients are commonly encountered in anaesthetic and critical care practice—for example, the demented geriatric patient requiring operative fixation of a fractured neck of femur, the majority of interventions administered to intensive care patients, the semiconscious inebriate requiring anaesthesia for computed tomography of the head, followed by operative drainage of a traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage, and the emergency resuscitation and continuing care of a variety of medical, surgical, and obstetric patients. Yet adult patients who lack legal capacity still require health care, whether it is necessary to alleviate their condition or to prevent further deterioration. If incapacitated patients are not able to participate in directing their own treatment, of necessity it falls to others—usually doctors, occasionally judges or relatives—to make treatment decisions on the patients’ behalf. This requires that such proxy decision makers to refer to some putative but transparent set of values when deciding what is best for the patient. Te aim of this chapter is to describe what the common law is, with regard to medical decision-making on behalf of adults who lack capacity, and to describe how this has been superseded by statutory legislation in the form of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, brought in to further protect incapacitated patients, and enforced from October 1st 2007, in England and Wales.

Abstract:
This chapter provides key information about forensic psychiatry. Legal aspects of mental health are complex, with far-reaching implications for patients and clinicians. While some legal aspects of medical care require the intervention of specialists in psychiatry and the law (forensic psychiatrists), every doctor will encounter, and needs to manage, legal aspects of medical and psychiatric care in their daily work. While every jurisdiction has specific laws, common concepts exist across all jurisdictions. This introductory guide for medical students, accordingly, will focus on subjects that any doctor is likely to encounter, namely: • How to assess capacity. • Treatment without consent. • Confidentiality and when it may need to be breached. • Principles of ‘risk’ assessment. Practical tips include how to avoid breaching confidentiality and key features in treatment without consent.

Abstract:
In most of medicine, legal situations are rarely encoun­tered, typically related to complaints or complex eth­ical issues. Unusually, psychiatry is closely connected with the law, with most psychiatrists dealing with legal issues on a daily basis. There are three main areas of law which are relevant to psychiatry: … 1 Civil law relating to the involuntary admission and treatment of patients with mental disorders (in the UK, this is outlined in the Mental Health Act (MHA) 2007). 2 Civil law concerning issues of consent, capacity, and deprivation of liberty (Mental Capacity Act 2005 including Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding (DoLS)). 3 Criminal law as it relates to individuals with mental disorders. … There are various reasons why knowledge of mental health legislation is helpful to all clinicians: … ● Laws and official guidelines provide backing to some aspects of ethical decision- making within medicine. ● The law regulates the circumstances under which treatment can be given without patients’ consent. All doctors may encounter situations in which patients refuse essential treatment, and may have to decide whether to invoke powers of compulsory admission and/ or best interest treatments. ● Doctors may be asked for reports used in legal decisions, such as the capacity to make a will or claims for compensation for injury. They may be asked for reports that set out the relationship between any psychiatric disorder and criminal behaviour. ● A minority of patients behave in ways that break the law. Doctors need to understand legal issues as part of their management of care. ● Victims of crime may suffer immediate and long-term psychological or physical consequences. … This chapter will describe the main principles of mental health legislation with particular reference to UK law. While some of the detail discussed (e.g. par­ticular definitions or legislative act numbers) may not be relevant to international readers, legal frameworks across the globe are broadly similar. Information of mental health legislation in most countries is now easily available online. The latter part of the chapter will provide an overview of the relationship between mental disorders and crime.

Abstract:
Family planning is among the actions in Primary Care that are relevant and impactful in terms of women's quality of life indicators, but the particularities of women with mental disorders are still invisible to health professionals.

Abstract:
There are numerous concepts of health, although the one standardized by the World Health Organization since 1946 is the "State of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely absence of disease". That said, it is understandable that the maintenance of health is also the responsibility of the same, since the health professional cannot intervene in personal aspects of the patient's life. From this analysis, it is possible to correlate the concept of health with that of self-care, which consists of giving the individual the responsibility and possibility of promoting and mainta

It is no coincidence that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is the first international human rights treaty in the 21st century. The Convention seeks to amend the social and legal status of persons with disabilities, including children, in a revolutionary way. The main goal is to remove social barriers by adopting a social model of disability in recognizing and exercising the human rights of persons with disabilities on an equal basis with other persons. Therefore, it is understandable that the rules of earlier international human rights treaties, such as the UN Conve

AI technologies and techniques have been in application in various aspects to aid in solving problems and performing tasks more reliably, efficiently, and effectively than what would happen without their use. These technologies have also been reshaping the health sector's field, particularly digital tools and medical robotics (Dantas &amp; Nogaroli, 2021). The new real

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has in many ways challenged the health and well-being of people, and more widely, the welfare systems in the Nordic countries. Due to regulations and lockdowns, many people have experienced social isolation, and certain vulnerable groups – such as older adults and those with disabilities – have been hit especially hard. As loneliness has implications for people’s long-term mental and physical health, the consequences of the pandemic are significant for health and social care as a whole.This literature review describes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on loneliness and
