Medical illness burden is associated with greater PTSD service utilization in a nationally representative survey
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with higher rates of many medical conditions and higher use of medical healthcare services. Growing evidence suggests that comorbid medical illness in PTSD may in turn be associated with greater use of mental health treatment. However, no study to date has examined the impact of cumulative medical illness burden on PTSD service utilization.

A Systematic Review of the Evidence for Medical Marijuana in Psychiatric Indications.
CONCLUSIONS: Given its rapidly changing legal status, there is an urgent need to conduct double-blind, randomized, placebo- or active-controlled studies on the efficacy and safety of marijuana or its constituent cannabinoids for psychiatric conditions. Physicians and policy-makers should take into account the limited existing evidence and balance that with side effects before approving medical marijuana for psychiatric indications.

Concomitants of perceived trust in hospital and medical services following Hurricane Sandy
The relationship between factors associated with perceived trust in hospital and medical services in the aftermath of a natural disaster is understudied. An online sample of 1000 people mainly from affected states was surveyed after Hurricane Sandy. Participants completed a survey which included disaster related questions and PTSD symptoms. Logistic regression revealed a significant association between perceived trust in hospital services to education, subjective well-being, being scared for the life of a loved one and perceived trust in emergency services.

Threat Modulation of Visual Search Efficiency in PTSD: A Comparison of Distinct Stimulus Categories
Although an attentional bias for threat has been implicated in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the cues that best facilitate this bias are unclear. Some studies utilize images and others utilize facial expressions that communicate threat. However, the comparability of these two types of stimuli in PTSD is unclear. The present study contrasted the effects of images and expressions with the same valence on visual search among veterans with PTSD and controls. Overall, PTSD patients had slower visual search speed than controls.

The Search for Treatments for Veterans With Major Depression —Of Paramount Importance, yet Still Elusive
Remission rates in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) remain unacceptably low. From the 28% to 33% remission rate in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR-D*) Study after treatment with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram to the more recent Predicting Response to Depression Treatment (PReDICT) Study of treatment-naive patients with depression treated with escitalopram, duloxetine, or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with remission rates of approximately 50%, it is clear that a sizable number of patients with depression do not achieve remission, the universally ackn...

Current Trends in Psychiatric Education Among Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Programs.
CONCLUSION: Lack of integration between Ob/Gyn and psychiatry was the most cited barrier to effective psychiatric education of Ob/Gyn residents, highlighting the importance of increased partnership between the two fields. Didactic instruction decreased compared to 2001, and considerable gaps still remain. Most program directors perceive that residents are not equipped to identify patients' psychiatric needs.

Some Young Breast Cancer Survivors Report PTSD Symptoms Years After Diagnosis
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is known to affect a subset of cancer survivors. Astudy inPsycho-Oncology found that 6.3% of young survivors of non-metastatic breast cancer reported PTSD symptoms related to cancer more than two years after their diagnosis. Women who reported anxiety symptoms six months after being diagnosed with breast cancer were 12 times more likely than others to report PTSD symptoms two years later.“We found similar rates of cancer-related PTSS [posttraumatic stress symptoms] in breast cancer survivors diagnosed at a young age compared with the general breast cancer population despite their well...

Evaluation of sleep and therapeutic education needs of military with PTSD
Encephale. 2023 Mar 10:S0013-7006(23)00016-7. doi: 10.1016/j.encep.2023.01.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep disorders in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are both diagnostic (nocturnal reliving) and prognostic. Poor sleep worsens the daytime symptomatology of PTSD and makes it resistant to treatment. However, no specific treatment is codified in France to treat these sleep disorders although sleep therapies (cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, psychoeducation and relaxation) have proven for years to be effective in treating insomnia. Therapeutic sessions can be part of a therapeutic patient education p...
