22.  The case prompted a critical discussion within the American
psychiatric profession, prompting the American Psychiatric
Association (APA) to modify Rule 7.3 to its Principles of
Medical Ethics with Annotations Especially Applicable to
Psychiatry.

23.  “On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an
individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed
information about himself/herself through public media.
 In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or
her expertise about psychiatric issues in general.
 However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional
opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been
granted proper authorization for such a statement."

28.  If you are using social media in a professional or
personal, capacity then it is important to be familiar
with the code of practice or guidelines for your
professional group.
 The same goes for your organisation’s internet or social
media policy.

29.  If you are using social media in a personal capacity
then it is important to think carefully about your
privacy settings and not to ‘friend’ or ‘follow’ anyone
who you are working with directly as a practitioner.
Always respect confidentiality.

30.  Be aware that on public platforms, such as Twitter,
anyone can follow you and see your updates.

Maintaining Confidentiality
 Psychiatists have a primary obligation and take reasonable
precautions to protect confidential information obtained
through or stored in any medium, recognizing that the extent
and limits of confidentiality may be regulated by law or
established by institutional rules or professional or scientific
relationship (APA Ethics Code, 2010, p. 7).

39.  Disclosures (a) Psychiatrists may disclose confidential
information with the appropriate consent of the organizational
client, the individual client/patient, or another legally
authorized person on behalf of the client/patient unless
prohibited by law (APA Ethics Code, 2010, p. 7).

40. •Decision-making model
–How do you decide when to say yes?
•Three factors to consider
–Competence – are you competent in the requested area (research
and clinical experience)?
–Time constraints – do you have sufficient time to review the
literature, gain background on the relevant players, and gather your
thoughts on the topic?
–Control over final product – do you have the ability to review and
edit the broadcast or interview before it is published?
