 | | An example is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which the psychiatric profession considered a barbarous practice during the 1970s and 1980s, only to be revived recently as a treatment for clinical depression. | | | Hospitalized patients are increasingly being managed in a multidisciplinary fashion, where nursing staff, occupational therapists, psychotherapists, social workers and other health care professionals offer their input in the care for a patient. | | | Additionally psychologists, nurse practitioners, and social workers can provide psychiatric care though of these only the nurse practitioners may prescribe medication. |

| | NursingWorld OJIN: The Nurse Practitioner Role in Psychiatric Nursing |
| | She advocates that the core of psychiatric nurses work is "therapeutic engagement with patients." The PPCNP is an example of this notion, a mesh of psychotherapeutic skills, of neurobiological knowledge, behavioral interventions, and physical assessment skills. | | | The psychiatric NP can do therapy and be able to screen for diabetes or hypertension in his depressed client and to rule out somatic delusions or pain associated with tendinitis in her schizophrenic client. | | | Psychiatric nursing needs a blend of the interpersonal and biological to provide psychiatric care; to capitalize on the therapies that have measurable outcomes and demonstrate effectiveness. |

| | Psychiatric Medications |
| | When psychiatric drugs produce symptom relief, they work the same way illicit drugs and alcohol do: They “take the edge off.” When you are taking prescription psychotropic drugs like Ritalin, Paxil, or Xanax, or you are using illicit psychotropic drugs or alcohol, your emotional experience is dampened. | | | Calling psychiatric drugs medicine while at the same time labeling illicit drugs and alcohol as poisons is a triumph of sorts. | | | Their version goes something like this: “While some medicines do turn out to be dangerous and other good medicines can be over-prescribed, it is extremist to say that psychiatric medications don’t have their appropriate use.” This version of what’s reasonable would be correct if we were talking about nonpsychiatric medications. |

| | Psychiatric Stigma Follows You Everywhere |
| | However, the benefit assumed to come from psychiatric and psychological "therapy" (itself a questionable assumption) is vastly outweighed by the stigma that comes from receiving it. | | | The stigma that results from seeing psychiatrists, psychologists, or psychiatric social workers is a strong argument in favor of instead consulting friends, family, or nonprofessional counselors whose expertise comes from life rather than from "professional" training, or simply working at solving your problems yourself. | | | Another is the effect of psychiatric stigma on personal relationships: Keeping secrets conceals parts of who you are and prevents emotional intimacy of the sort most people want with friends and especially with one's spouse; but sharing this secret leaves you open to blackmail or similar kinds of pressure. |
