    NY Times: No Longer Wanting to Die

    May 18, 2015 / No Comments

    Before her patients could or would change, she saw, they needed to accept themselves, and to be accepted, exactly as they were in the present. No Longer Wanting to Die By WILL LIPPINCOTT MAY 16, 2015 2:30 PM In January 2012, two weeks after my discharge from a psychiatric hospital in Connecticut, I made a plan to die. My week in an acute care unit that had me on a suicide watch had not diminished my pain. Back in New York, I stormed out of my therapist’s office and declared I wouldn’t return to the treatment I’d dutifully followed for three decades. Nothing was working, so what was the point?…

    Personality Disorders Largely Being Treated Inappropriately by Psychiatrists

    May 16, 2015 / No Comments

Personality Disorders Largely Being Treated Inappropriately by Psychiatrists May 6, 2015 Psychiatrists are giving drugs to most people with emotionally unstable personality disorders outside of the best-practice clinical guidelines, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
