Childhood IQ at age 8 was measured using WISC-III and separate verbal and performance IQ as well as Full IQ scores were used in analysis. Propensity towards bipolar was measured using HCL-32 (hypo-mania checklist) which consist of 32 yes/no answers to statements like ‘I am more easily distracted’ when in...

The fate of psychiatric patients under National Socialism (RCPsych Congress 2016) The fate of psychiatric patients under National Socialism (RCPsych Congress 2016)
Under National Socialism prior to and during World War 2, more than 200,000 patients with mental illness or learning disability were killed, often by their own doctors. Could similar atrocities ever happen again, and what lessons can be learned from this dark period in history? Raj Persaud talks to the former President of the German Society of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, Professor Frank Schneider, prior to his panel discussion on this topic at the RCPsych International Congress 2016.
