Abstract:
Objective: To assess the uses of Community Treatment Orders (CommTOs) in New Zealand. Method: A retrospective study of patients' records held by the regional administrator of mental health legislation and a survey of psychiatrists attending a conference in Dunedin. Results: Males under Community Treatment Orders (CommTOs) outnumbered females 6:4; a high proportion were considered to have a major psychotic disorder; and one fifth remained under a CommTO for more than a year without inpatient care. Among the psychiatrists, there was a high level of agreement that, when used appropriately, the be

Abstract:
SynopsisClinical analyses of 19th century psychiatric practice have been limited by the paucity of available records. Using the richly detailed casebooks of Ticehurst House Asylum, it was possible to study over 600 admissions and assess them using the Research Diagnostic Criteria. Over 80% of cases conformed to recognizable psychiatric illness, mainly schizophrenia and manicdepressive psychosis. Movement disorder, often equivalent to tardive dyskinesia, was noted in nearly one-third of schizophrenics. Violence, masturbation and severe psychopathology were also common features. The implications

Abstract:
Objective: To critically examine a recent decision of the Victorian Supreme Court that found that the Mental Health Tribunal and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal erred in the application of the capacity test in the Mental Health Act 2014 (Vic) and that compulsory electroconvulsive therapy would infringe upon the human rights of two patients who had no insight into their chronic schizophrenia. Conclusions: After considering the concepts of insight and capacity to consent to treatment, the paper concludes that the decision in NJE and PBU v Mental Health Tribunal [2018] VSC 564 is

Abstract:
The author, who has spent over 60 years working in a variety of mental health settings, shares his personal perspective of the way psychiatry has evolved. Treatments, both physical and psychological, have come and some have been discarded. There have been radical changes in the delivery of care, from the 2000-bed Victorian asylum to community care, and the on the whole beneficial impact of legislation such as mental health Acts and Acts dealing with suicide, abortion and sexual offences. His experience has warned him of the folly of overenthusiasm for some treatments – such as deep insulin for

Abstract:
Objectives: This paper considers the impact of having a diagnosis of substance use disorder on the utilisation of compulsory orders under the Victorian Mental Health Act (2014). Methods: We analysed the subsequent treatment episodes over 2 years of people who had been on a community treatment order for at least 3 months and determined the odds of a further treatment order if there was a diagnosis of substance use at or about the time the index community treatment order ended. Results: An additional diagnosis of a substance use disorder was coded in 47.7% and was associated with significantly i

Abstract:
SynopsisThe case histories of the patients newly admitted to the Retreat Asylum in York between 1880–1884 were examined. Most patients were aged under 50 years, single and non-Quaker, and a majority satisfied the Research Diagnostic Criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia or affective disorder. It was found that 72·9% of the patients were deluded, the most common delusions being of persecution, grandeur and guilt; in 34·9% of the deluded patients, the delusion had a religious content. Suicidal ideation was recorded in the case records of 31·4% of the patients. Drug therapy was commonly presc

Abstract:
Aggression is a serious biomedical problem associated with a high percentage of patients and a lack of selective corrective agents. The most frequent increase in aggressiveness occurs in patients with depressive disorders, schizophrenia, reactive psychoses and adjustment disorders, which are known to be characterized by immunological dysfunction. Antipsychotics are widely used in the correction of psychomotor agitation; the antipsychotic effect of these drugs is manifested in the achievement of a sedative effect. However, like other psychoactive substances, they have a number of side effects t

Abstract Background Assignment to a community treatment order (CTO) has been associated with reduced mortality- risk. In Victoria Australia civil-rights enhancements involving capacity to refuse involuntary-treatment has contributed to a 15% reduction between 2010-2019 in CTO-assignments among first hospitalized patients with Schizophrenia-diagnoses. Has this change impacted patient mortality-risk? Study Design This study considered mortality-risk between 2010-2019 for three patient-groups with schizophrenia diagnoses: All 4,848 hospitalized-patients assigned to a CTO for the first time in the
