¡Pero cómo podéis tener tan poca vergüenza! ¡Si tenéis convocada una huelga indefinida de médicos a nivel nacional! Que llevamos ya 3 convocatorias de huelga y vuestro ministerio de Sanidad se ha negado a sentarse a negociar con los médicos…

It's the foundation of psychiatric diagnosis. And it's about to get a makeover The current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is known as the DSM-5. What will the next version be called? That's one of several open questions as the "Bible of psychiatry" goes online.

Checking the DSM-6 news! 🧠📖

Moving towards a biological & cultural approach (and potential name change?) is huge. Still many unknowns, but I'm excited about where we are heading!

Eager to read the 5 papers published by @apapsychiatric.bsky.social ! Time for some deep reading ☕

This meme captures the variety of psychiatry papers so well! Funny, sharp, and maybe a little too accurate 😅

By the way, I feel very comfortable on Bluesky! There are so many interesting people to follow, and the discussions are thoughtful and respectful. It’s refreshing—a stark contrast to Twitter’s toxicity in recent months. Let’s hope it stays this way or even gets better! 🦋

Ah, this explains why my Twitter feed was constantly filled with Elon Musk’s tweets despite not following him, and why it became a flood of right-wing and far-right content. The algorithm wasn’t broken—it was working exactly as designed. 💀

3/ In the book “El impostor”, Javier Cercas explores the psychological complexity behind Marco’s actions and the broader implications for collective memory. The book raises crucial questions about identity, truth, and the moral cost of pursuing historical justice.

2/ Marco’s deception remained unchallenged for years, but his lie was eventually exposed in 2005. This revelation led to a public reckoning in Spain, sparking a debate about historical memory and the ethics of using personal tragedy to gain attention.

1/ For those unfamiliar with the story, Enric Marco falsely claimed to be a Holocaust survivor, deceiving many, including fellow Spanish deportees. His fabricated story was widely accepted, and he even became president of a survivors’ association, using his lie to gain prominence.

I found the film fascinating. The character shows traits of narcissistic personality disorder, though it’s complex. It highlights the challenge of uncovering convincing liars and the ethical dilemma of his efforts to recover historical memory for Spanish deportees in Germany #Psychiatry

Thank you for your feedback! ECT was initiated after aripiprazole and valproic acid failed to provide sustained improvement. Given the severity of symptoms and the lack of established guidelines for psychiatric presentations in AGS, ECT was deemed a viable and ultimately successful intervention.

Tonight I’m watching Marco, a movie about Enric Marco, the man who falsely claimed to be a Holocaust survivor. I’m excited because I read the book related to this story, and it fascinated me with its moral and psychological questions. Has anyone else seen it? Did you like it?
