was assured by back translation, consensus review and a pilot interview. The studied subjects
were recruited from three major referral mental health centers in central Thailand. We
recruited a total of 170 subjects with clinical psychiatric diagnoses and 33 controls. The referral
psychiatric diagnoses were schizophrenia (n=33), major depressive disorder (n=31), bipolar
I disorder (n=32), alcohol dependence (n=39), amphetamine dependence (n=35)... |

The need for effective education in psychiatry for all doctors is as great in developing countries
as in developed ones, especially in ASEAN, where many psychiatric cases are managed
by non psychiatric doctors. The curriculum must be designed to ensure that physicians have
the ability to diagnose and treat the most common psychiatric disorders but it may be customised
to the data or needs of each specific country in ASEAN. Three topics that have been proposed
for inclusion in the curriculum are disaster psychiatry/mental health, ethnopsychopharmacology,
and critical appraisal of publications... |

Abstract
|
| |
Dissociation, including multiple personality disorder, has long been a controversial topic. Patients
with suggestive symptoms are often misdiagnosed as malingering or even having
schizophrenia. The former as a result of the overlooking of a clinician on the fact that suggestibility
itself plays a key role in the emergence and perpetuation of this illness and the latter
due to the lack of knowledge of the whole dissociative disorder spectrum, often resembling
that of a psychotic disorder. Another contributing factor to the small number of patients with
this diagnosis is due to the reluctance of a psychiatrist to do so because of his/her lack of experience
and also fear of humiliation of being accused of seeking fame from diagnosing this
somewhat glamorous phenomenon... |
