ICD 11 proposed changes - A New Perspective On An Old DreamMohamed Sedky
The document discusses proposed changes in the ICD-11 classification system compared to previous versions. Some key points:
- Neurodevelopmental disorders are reorganized, and autism is now classified as autism spectrum disorder.
- Schizophrenia subtypes are removed, and specifiers are added for symptoms. Catatonia is now a separate entity.
- Bipolar II disorder is added as a new category under mood disorders.
- New disorders are added such as binge eating disorder, gaming disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder.
- The classification of PTSD is narrowed, and complex PTSD is proposed as a new category. Prolonged grief disorder is added.
This document outlines guidelines for assessing disability in psychiatric patients in India. It discusses definitions of impairment, disability, and handicap. It describes how the Indian Disability Evaluation and Assessment Scale (IDEAS) is used to measure disability in mental disorders. Specific sections address assessing intellectual disability, specific learning disability, and general guidelines for the certification process. Disability is assessed based on functioning in areas like self-care, interpersonal activities, communication, and work performance.
This document discusses mood disorders and depression. It covers the classification of mood disorders according to ICD-10 codes, as well as the etiology of mood disorders from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. The etiology is complex and multifactorial, involving genetics, neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine, stress, and social support systems. Recurrent depression is associated with neuronal damage over time from repeated episodes.
This document discusses mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including its history, clinical presentations, investigations, treatment and prognosis. MCI is defined as a decline in cognitive abilities beyond normal aging but not significant enough to interfere with daily life. People with MCI are at higher risk of progressing to dementia. While no treatments have proven effective, lifestyle factors like exercise may help. Predictors of progression to dementia include severity of memory impairment, brain volume changes on MRI, and ApoE genotype. Monitoring is important as many people with MCI will convert to Alzheimer's disease within 6 years. MCI represents an important clinical entity as it may be a precursor to dementia.
Psychoeducation is an important element of psychiatric treatment. It has a significant role in
promoting mental health, preventing mental illness, increasing mental health awareness, creating opportunities
and improving the quality of life of the patient, caregivers and the community. To achieve these goals,
psychoeducation programmes seek to provide families with the information they need about mental illness
and the coping skills that will help them to deal with their loved one's psychiatric disorder. In a nutshell
Psychoeducation’s goal is to offer education and therapeutic strategies to improve the quality of life for the
family while decreasing the possibility of relapse for the patient (Solomon, 1996).

Description
Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique, empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with value driven commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT uses three broad categories of techniques: mindfulness, including being present in the moment and defusion techniques; acceptance; and commitment to values-based living. Participants in this seminar will learn mindfulness as a way of observing ones experience, in the present moment, without judgment and “defuse,” or distancing oneself from unhelpful thoughts, reactions and sensations. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples, and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

Cognitive behavior therapy theory and practiceWuzna Haroon
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was developed in the 1960s by Aaron Beck based on his research challenging the psychoanalytic view of depression. Beck observed that depressed clients had negative biases in interpreting events that contributed to cognitive distortions. He developed CBT which focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. The key assumptions of CBT are that cognitions influence behaviors and emotions, and that maladaptive thinking can be identified and changed. Common techniques include cognitive restructuring to challenge irrational thoughts, behavioral experiments, and homework assignments.
Non-pharmacological management of dementiaRavi Soni
This document discusses non-pharmacological methods for managing dementia, including behavioral symptoms. It begins by defining behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and noting that 90% of dementia patients experience BPSD severe enough to be problematic. Common symptoms include agitation, wandering, depression, and psychosis. The document then discusses several non-pharmacological therapies for managing BPSD, including reminiscence therapy, validation therapy, reality orientation, behavioral therapies, and sensory stimulation techniques like light therapy, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. It provides some evidence for the effectiveness of these approaches, though notes most studies have small sample sizes and more research is still needed.
This document discusses depression in the elderly population. It finds that around 5% of community-dwelling elderly have major depression, while that number rises to 12-30% in institutional settings. Late-life depression is defined as major depressive disorder in adults aged 60 or older. Depression in the elderly often presents atypically with somatic complaints rather than mood changes. The document outlines risk factors, screening tools, differential diagnoses, treatment considerations, and types of depression seen in elderly patients.
Consultation and liaison psychiatry meاحمد البحيري
Consultation-liaison psychiatry involves psychiatrists consulting on patients in medical settings to address intersections between physical and mental health. Issues include capacity to consent, conflicts with medical teams, and patients reporting physical symptoms due to underlying mental disorders. The consultant evaluates patients for suspected psychiatric disorders, agitation, suicidal/homicidal thoughts, and high psychiatric risk factors. Common reasons for consultations include psychiatric symptoms, lack of organic cause for symptoms, and non-compliance.

The presentation also examines innovative program designs implemented internationally to enhance OST accessibility and outcomes.
Experiential account experience as a private practitionermailrishigupta
Dr. Ashwin Mohan has been practicing psychiatry since 2001 and treating opioid dependence through opioid substitution therapy (OST) using buprenorphine. He began with a few patients on OST but scaled up treatment in the 2000s as he saw better results than traditional treatment methods. Over the years, he increased doses and duration of OST based on patient needs. However, a 2014 crackdown on opioids led to thousands seeking treatment without adequate infrastructure. This created diversion issues and negative press around OST. As a result, many psychiatrists stopped OST and treatment options were severely limited, worsening the opioid crisis. Dr. Mohan argues for expanding access to OST and other evidence-based treatments for opioid dependence.
Experiential account experience in the prisonmailrishigupta
This document summarizes the rationale and process for implementing an opioid substitution therapy (OST) program in Tihar Prison in New Delhi, India. It notes that 40-80% of prisoners have substance abuse problems. An OST program was launched to provide buprenorphine treatment and psychosocial support to opioid dependent inmates. Prison staff and NGO counselors were trained to deliver the intervention. The program aimed to test OST feasibility and develop prison OST guidelines. Eligible inmates received daily buprenorphine dosing in prison along with group counseling. They could continue treatment after release through partner clinics. Evaluations occurred at regular intervals over 12 months to assess outcomes.
Experiential account experience at a government general hospitalmailrishigupta

Drivers of Drug Development – Regulatory Collaboration
European regulatory approaches to drugs for rare diseases - Daniel O’Connor, European Medicines Agency/Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, UK
A presentation by IPPOSI CEO, Derick Mitchell at the 10th anniversary SPHERE conference entitled 'The Value of Patient & Public Involvement in Research' in RCSI, Dublin, on Jan 11th, 2018
Buprenorphine has been used in India for opioid dependence since the early 1990s. Initial experiences found it effective for detoxification and long-term treatment. Over time, higher strength and take-home formulations became available. Research studies conducted in India provided evidence that buprenorphine is superior to clonidine for withdrawal management and blocks the effects of opioids. It was also found to have moderate abuse potential similar to morphine. Sustained release morphine and later buprenorphine-naloxone were explored as additional treatment options. Efforts were made to scale up opioid substitution therapy across India through capacity building, additional treatment centers, and a multi-site effectiveness study.
