We are very sad to announce that Prof Sir Michael Rutter, the 'father of Child Psychiatry', passed away over the weekend. His extraordinary career laid the foundations of Child Psychiatry and Developmental Psychopathology. He will be dearly missed @SGDPCentreKCL @KingsCollegeLon

< 10% of all psychiatrists are trained as child psychiatrists, yet 50% of #mentalillness onsets by 14 yrs of age. #Access a huge issue, models of care should be evidence-based, but central problem is that Canada needs >1,500 child psychiatrists and we only have ~500.
So the kids who wait 2-3 months for urgent outpatient psychiatric consultations are seen and then told to go back to their paediatrician,who waits for the consultation note ,for SSRI prescriptions adding to their anxiety to book yet another appointment. I don’t understand.

People who say ‘well, he’s doing the best he can and who honestly could ever have got on top of something like #COVIDー19?’ should watch this.

This.Absolutely.
“At the time, we were liberated. Today, we must liberate ourselves… From hatred and hate speech, from xenophobia and contempt for democracy – for they are but the old evil in a new guise.” The President of Germany marks 75 years since the end of the war in Europe.

Announcing new publication policy for the Journal of Causal Inference. The Journal has switched to Open Access. Articles are now published with unrestricted access for everyone, thus boosting visibility and impact. Authors still retain copyrights and there are no embargo periods.

Will be great when the modellers (and clinicians) also start to factor in important risk factors like #ADHD which is associated with 10x higher rates of suicide and suicidal behaviours
