“Prolonged grief disorder is now recognized in both ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR, affecting roughly 10% of bereaved individuals — yet the majority are never screened, never identified, and receive generic treatment for depression rather than grief-specific intervention. Killikelly and colleagues provide the definitive clinical catch-up.”
“In the first three-arm RCT for binge-eating disorder, combined CBT and lisdexamfetamine achieved 70.2% binge-eating remission — versus approximately 42% for either treatment alone. The synergy between restructuring cognition and dampening impulse is not theoretical. It is now quantified.”
“PGD entered the diagnostic manuals. The IPGDS is the measurement instrument those manuals were waiting for — free, cross-cultural, and designed for the criteria as they actually exist.”
“Semaglutide is generating the strongest psychiatric signal of any metabolic drug in a generation. The 42% risk reduction is real — and so is the obligation to monitor patients whose dopamine systems are being pharmacologically reshaped.”
“Forty-one fellows for seven million patients with Alzheimer's alone. The geriatric psychiatry workforce shortage is not a policy problem for tomorrow — it is a clinical reality today.”
“PGT was twice as effective as Interpersonal Psychotherapy for grief — and antidepressants had no effect on grief symptoms at all. The treatment exists. The training is accessible. The only missing piece is you.”
