Compulsory Admission

Morbid jealousy is encountered in general, old age and forensic psychiatry, and clinicians in each specialty should be familiar with its recognition and management. As well as clinical matters, the issue of risk to the patient and others is prominent in the consideration of morbid jealousy. Hospitalisation is sometimes required, the use of compulsory admission is not infrequent and treatment in secure settings is occasionally warranted. This review addresses the nature of morbid jealousy, its psychopathology, diagnostic issues, associations, risks and management.

General Psychiatry

When I was appointed to my consultant post nearly 10 years ago I was one of several able candidates. This was the culmination of many years' hard work and I was proud to be working at an inner-city teaching hospital, one where I had trained as a medical student. This was probably the last time that my department was fully staffed, with each year since bringing more challenges. In recent years only one of the specialist registrars I have trained has continued with general psychiatry, with the attractions of old age, liaison and forensic psychiatry seemingly unassailable. My confidence finally reached rock bottom when a senior house officer announced that she no longer wished to continue in psychiatry because the role models we (consultants) set were unattractive. Apparently the image we project is of long hours, unlimited demands, endless risks and little time to practise the art of psychiatry. With the anniversary of my appointment approaching now it seems appropriate to consider why my hard fought for job has all the attractions of the plague.

This paper considers the possible longer-term consultant manpower requirements in England and Wales for general or ‘mainstream’ psychiatry, its special interests, the psychiatry of old age and the dependencies, as well as for the specialties of psychotherapy and forensic psychiatry. It is based on papers prepared by the College (see References) and discussions with the Department of Health and Social Security. Consideration is also given to the training implications of these consultant manpower requirements. It discusses the possibility for growth in the special interests and specialties in the context of the number of consultants in adult psychiatry likely to be available. The psychiatric specialties of child psychiatry and mental handicap are not considered.

Micronutrient Intake

Nutrition is important for human health in all stages of life - from conception to old age. Today we know much more about the molecular basis of nutrition. Most importantly, we have learnt that micronutrients, among other factors, interact with genes, and new science is increasingly providing more tools to clarify this interrelation between health and nutrition. Sufficient intake of vitamins is essential to achieve maximum health benefit. It is well established that in developing countries, millions of people still suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. However, it is far less recognized that we face micronutrient insufficiencies also in developed countries.
