This document summarizes a study that used the Delphi method to determine expert consensus on guidelines for using yoga to treat anxiety in children and adolescents. Over three rounds, the study surveyed psychiatrists, psychologists, and yoga professionals. It found consensus that guidelines are needed and on what should be included, such as benefits, risks, and safety measures. Experts agreed the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry should develop guidelines incorporating these areas to improve access to effective, low-risk mental healthcare for anxious youth.
Marijuana use among youth poses significant risks to brain development and mental health. Regular marijuana use is associated with cognitive decline across all domains even after years of abstinence. It can also increase the likelihood of developing psychiatric disorders like depression and psychosis. Prenatal marijuana exposure has been linked to lower birth weight, abnormal development and long term cognitive impairments in offspring. Overall, the evidence shows that marijuana jeopardizes the healthy development of youth.

The author examines these topics through the story of Dorcas, who lives in Harlem during the Renaissance, a time of liberation but that still had remnants of segregation. The society is portrayed as scandalous yet progressive looking toward the future. Additionally, the author addresses the relationship between older men and young girls, implying it was accepted in the community.

This document discusses capacity and consent in healthcare. It defines consent as permission for something to happen and informed consent as permission granted with full knowledge of consequences. Consent involves establishing trust, promoting involvement, respect, enabling informed decisions, and being aware of representatives. Healthcare professionals must seek consent before assessments or interventions and provide sufficient information for patients to understand the nature and purpose. They must record when consent is sought and the outcome. Capacity assessments consider if patients can understand treatment, benefits/risks/alternatives, consequences, retain and communicate decisions. Factors like illness, medication, mental status can influence capacity. Supporting decision making involves clear explanations, describing risks/benefits, consulting representatives, and communication aids.

Behavior therapy techniques like desensitization are discussed as highly efficient options where parents and teachers can be trained to help ensure changes generalize. The document stresses the importance of empirically validating treatments for children.

Main Discussion
Psychiatric emergencies are severe behavioral changes that may result from worsening mental illness. Psychiatric emergency is any disturbance in thoughts, feelings, or actions that require immediate therapeutic intervention (Stahl, S. M., 2014). The providers approach, attitudes and work environment may escalate the situation and interfere with the quality of care. Certain therapeutic measures can reduce the intensity of the situation and provide a more dignified way for patients to recover from the crisis. It is thus important that the PMHNP understand how to assess patient’s emergency status and address their unique needs while maintaining safety.
Case selected.
Patient is a 25-year-old AA male who presents to the emergency department with psychotic behavior in believing he should kill his mother which led to his attempt to stab his mother. Patient is admitted for inpatient psychiatric stabilization. Patient has a history of schizoaffective disorder and major depression that was managed with use of clozapine 150mg twice a day and Zoloft 100mg daily. Family reported that patient has a history of medication non-compliant and had been on different psychiatric medications in the past but were not working for him. Additional reports by his parents shows that patient had missed several doses of his medication, decompensated and they had notices some changes recently including increase agitation, delusional believes that he is the savior in the family and God had directed him to cast the demon in his mother. Reports also that he had drawn a picture of himself with knives cutting a woman he portrayed as a demon with blood flowing with a man standing to the side, laughing. Patient currently stated that he participates in a meeting with angels from which he gets directives on how to attack his mother which led to his attempt to stab his mother. Because of this, patient was considered dangerous to his mother per admitting physician. Patients symptoms include psychosis, extreme agitation, paranoia, verbal outburst, combative and very difficult to redirect. Patient has no known drug allergies per parents. Verbal restraint was used including letting patient know what will happen if he does not comply, respecting his autonomy, empathetic listening, decrease environmental stimulation, reassure patient that they will be safe, and maintain a safe environment. The patient was given emergency medications including haloperidol lactate 5mg, lorazepam 2mg, and diphenhydramine 50mg all IM for severe agitation and danger to others. To prevent re-hospitalization within 12-24 hour.

Psychiatric emergencies are severe behavioral changes that may result from worsening mental illness. Psychiatric emergency is any disturbance in thoughts, feelings, or actions that require immediate therapeutic intervention (Stahl, S. M., 2014). The providers approach, attitudes and work environment may escalate the situation and interfere with the quality of care. Certain therapeutic measures can reduce the intensity of the situation and provide a more dignified way for patients to recover from the crisis. It is thus important that the PMHNP understand how to assess patient’s emergency status and address their unique needs while maintaining safety.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
