Suicide Jokes Help Joan Rivers
April 25, 2008
Dr Pamela Connolly (Pamela Stephenson) better known as the wife of Scottish comedian Billy Connolly is a well established psychiatrist hosting her own TV show called ‘Shrink Rap’ on More4 TV interviewing celebrities, asking probing questions, exploring and presenting a side that we the public do not necessarily get the opportunity to experience.
This week she interviewed the notorious ‘Joan Rivers’. A 74 year old woman of substance, a world-class female stand-up comedian. Joan doesn’t so much overstep the mark as seem unaware there’s a mark at all.
One rich source of jokes is her husband’s suicide. Once her business manager, and as a result of being dropped by the TV company fell into a great depression ending with him taking his own life. Joan was herself having plastic surgery at the time of his death another source of her self ridicule.
Clearly a woman with strength to find such a trauma in life funny. Not everybodies cup of tea I might add but still a very interesting lady.
Which only goes to show that we cannot control what life throws at us but we can control how we react or respond to it.
Doctor Hears Voices
April 24, 2008
Monday nights TV Channel 4. A true story of a young female who suffered schizophrenia yet managed to study to become a doctor.
A disturbing drama which gave a very clear insight into this mental illness. As a junior doctor she began to hear a voice telling her to kill herself and others, she turned to Rufus May, who had himself been diagnosed with schizophrenia . He now works in the NHS as a clinical psychologist, he empathised and with his own unique understanding of the illness. Helped her through without medication.
Ruth told her hospital she was suicidal and was immediately suspended. A disturbing argument that mental illness has such a stigma, that mental illness should be concealed it at all costs.
Ruth conned her way through her first assessment. I admired her nerve : “Shoulders back, good eye contact and, when they ask how you are, say ‘Fine, how are you?”
Ruth’s final assessment was successful…….
What if Ruth was your doctor?
How would you feel?

Children and Drugs - Unknown effects
April 21, 2008
I came across this interesting article from ‘Dr Charles Parker CorePsycBlog’
Psych meds are often written for children with little appreciation of the overall metabolic issues present in the child. -If we don’t understand the child’s ability to metabolize medications, don’t look adequately for comorbid conditions which can effect metabolic rates, and don’t think about drug metabolism and interactions… there will be problems.
Dr Parker met with Dr Sydney Spiesel, a busy practicing pediatrician and among other things a professor at Yale Medical School, This man has great energy and his intelligence comes across in his balanced views on the state of the medical care that children can and do receive.
Dr Parker and Dr Sydney Spiesel share the same observation generally about psychological medication for children.
How do you view this difficult situation?
Let me know.

March 6, 2008
Therapists practise in all walks of life and all parts of society - from a National Health Service (NHS) clinic to the Boardrooms of top companies.
