Does Specializing in Family Medicine Improve the Detection and Diagnosis of Mental Health Problems?
CONCLUSIONS: FPs are more likely than other PCPs to detect, diagnose and treat MH problems. To improve MH detection among a broad range of PCPs, an expanded MH curriculum should be encouraged. Additional MH training should be available for all PCPs. PMID: 28856882 [PubMed] (Source: Israel Journal of Psychiatry and Related Sciences)

Psychiatric Consultation in Community Clinics: A Decade of Experience in the Community Clinics in Jerusalem.
Conclusions: Very limited conclusions may be drawn from this questionnaire distributed to primary care physicians who were asked to assess psychiatric consultation in their clinic. Our conclusion could be influenced by the design and the actual distribution of the questionnaires by the consulting psychiatrist. Nevertheless answers to the questionnaire might imply that the consultation model of care between a psychiatric consultant and the primary care physician, where the patient's primary care physician takes a leading role in his psychiatric care, is perceived by family physicians as a good alternative to referral to a p...

Does Individual Stigma Predict Mental Health Funding Attitudes? Toward an Understanding of Resource Allocation and Social Climate.
CONCLUSIONS: Individual stigma and sociodemographic factors appear to only partially explain structural stigma decisions. Future research should assess broader social and contextual factors, in addition to other beliefs and worldviews (e.g., allocation preference questionnaire, economic beliefs).

'People with Problems, Not Patients with Illnesses': Using Psychosocial Frameworks to Reduce the Stigma of Psychosis.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a reasonably substantial evidencebase supporting the hypothesis that anti-stigma campaigns which frame psychosis as a meaningful response to adversity are effective. They are a more promising approach to "humanizing" people with complex mental health problems than strategies based on models of disease and disability.

Explicit and Implicit Stigma of Mental Illness as Predictors of the Recovery Attitudes of Assertive Community Treatment Practitioners.
CONCLUSIONS: The current study demonstrates a need for interventions to lower explicit stigma, particularly perceptions of dangerousness, to increase mental health providers' expectations for recovery. The extent to which implicit and explicit stigma differentially predict outcomes, including recovery attitudes, needs further research.

Greater Metacognition and Lower Fear of Negative Evaluation: Potential Factors Contributing to Improved Stigma Resistance among Individuals Diagnosed with Schizophrenia.
Authors: Firmin RL, Luther L, Salyers MP, Buck KD, Lysaker PH Abstract BACKGROUND: Stigma resistance, one's ability to block the internalization of stigma, appears to be a key domain of recovery. However, the conditions in which one is most likely to resist stigma have not been identified, and models of stigma resistance have yet to incorporate one's ability to consider the mind of others. The present study investigated the impact of the interaction between metacognition, or one's ability to form an integrated representation of oneself, others, and the world, and fear of negative evaluation on one's abilit...

Effectiveness of Aerobic Exercise as an Augmentation Therapy for Inpatients with Major Depressive Disorder: A Preliminary Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this small study suggest that aerobic exercise significantly improves treatment outcome when added to antidepressant medication. However, due to the small sample size the results must be regarded as preliminary and further studies are needed to confirm the findings.

Combat Experience and Mental Health in the Israel National Health Survey.
CONCLUSION: This work is in line with previous literature showing that combat exposure, as such, has limited contribution to lifetime PTSD in some groups of veterans. The inverse relationship between combat exposure and PTSD might be explained by the selection of potential combatants among all recruits and by the heightened preparedness to military life stressors.

Cannabis and Alcohol Abuse Among First Psychotic Episode Inpatients.
CONCLUSIONS: The percentage of cannabis and alcohol abuse in the study population is much higher than one would expect to see in the general Israeli population (according to the Knesset Research Department 7.6-10.2% of the adult Israeli population abuse cannabis). Different patterns of cannabis abuse among "predominantly affective" and "psychotic only" patients may lend credence to the preferential use of a specific substance per diagnosis.
