Talk:Emergency psychiatry

message: does not look like a picture of emergency psychiatric bed. Maybe an inpatient medicine bed. In the US typically patients in the psych ER are in either regular beds, or no beds at all. The stay is typically short. Many patient do not even have a bed, they may wait for 4-5 hours and be dischrged. I vote for removing the photo.
:I second that. This is a medical bed as evidenced by wall-mounted suction, BP cuffs attached to wall, cords visible, etc. No psychiatric room would have these, too dangerous if a psych patient had a medical emergency they would be transferred out. I will remove it. 71.110.173.61 (talk) 06:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds OK guys.  It probably is a bad representation of a psych er room - so it probably shouldn't be included.  However this is a NIMH patient room, so yes, it is a psychiatric bed. Chupper (talk) 00:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: the treatment section is quite odd, part is irrelevant, such as the use of 'psych' medication is the general ER. Some is factually incorrect. Intrathecal (via spinal fluid) would never be used in the psych ER, for many reasons. Also the citations are 24 years old. I'll try to buff things up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Expo512 (talk • contribs) 08:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The content looks good. However is it really necessary for every single sentence to have an in-line citation? References 2 and 3 are repeated a lot. If three sentences in a row refer to number 2, it is better to put a single in-line citation at the end of the third sentence. Axl 08:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand your concern regarding citations for every sentence.  I used to, like you said, just put the citation after a few sentences.  However I have run across reviewers, admins, and other editors who subscribe to the "Not every statement in an article needs a citation, but if in doubt, provide one" mentality, especially with medicine articles.  Because I run into people from both camps, I figure it is better to include more than to include less.  However, if you feel like this is a strong point hindering the quality of the article, I can remove some... Just let me know. Chupper 12:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text:  The reason reference notes 2 and 3 appear so much (Emergency Psychiatry by Hillard & Zitek as well as Emergency Psychiatry: Concepts, Methods, and Practices by Bassuk and Birk) is probably because every sentence is referenced.  But from a reference standpoint, they are pretty exhaustive and authoritative references when it comes to the clinical application of emergency psychiatry.  This is probably why they are so prevalent, especially in the "Patient Care" section. Chupper 12:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm going to remove some of the excess citations. Axl 18:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Okay, that's much better. :-) Axl 18:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, it's included on the psychiatry template, see .  If you feel as if the template is hurting the article, I can remove it.  Otherwise this issue deals more with that template than the article.  I do agree with you, however I was trying to gain some consensus at the talk page over there to use an image of a brain.  If you would like to leave a comment on the talk page over there, I know it would be appreciated! Chupper 12:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Corrected, I've added an explanation in the caption. Chupper 12:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks, the context is clear now. Axl 18:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I note that the "Psi & Caduceus" image appears in the main Psychiatry article as well. However is it really a valid symbol for psychiatry? The caduceus is a symbol of commerce. Axl 08:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says 786,000 worldwide (based on a shaky source); this Medscape article references a book which indicates a million worldwide.   This article says the WHO estimates a million annual worldwide.   WHO data should be tracked down.  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:28, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Source for WHO million, as of 2000 (that is, now old data).    SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks a lot for finding a better source and including it as a reference!  For some reason I was having a problem finding a better source for that data, but I knew it was high. Chupper 00:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Annual suicides 

message: I initially started an article on Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES). I think that this is distinct subset of Emergency Psychiatry. PES is often a physical place where patients with mental health complaints are seen. Emergency psychiatry can be practiced in either a clinic specific to psychiatry or in a general medical emergency room. Maybe this article needs a subsection on PES?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Expo512 (talk • contribs) 08:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Emergency psychiatry verse Psychiatric Emergency Services

message: I think that the reference to psychosurgery and ECT should stay removed from the article. The citation is from 1983 (currently 24 years old) and being a text book, it is probally based inteh information from the 1970s. I would be interested  in seeing what it says actually.Expo512 (talk) 05:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

message: One of the dramatic new changes to the delivery of emergency psychiatric services is through the use of telemedicine. I updated the "Delivery" section including a peer reviewed article on emergency psychiatric telemedicine....and the section was subsequently removed....any insight as to why?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Afishkind (talk • contribs) 01:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

message: As this article is almost entirely US based I'm wondering how this relates to what we have in the UK. We have acute crisis teams but also the PICU, psychiatric intensive care. Is this the same thing? Secretlondon (talk) 20:59, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm not trying to be a censor, but is it really needed to have pictures of recreational drugs (weed, mushrooms, etc) on this page? Especially with no other caption than "psychoactive drugs" It has nothing to do with emergency psychiatry, other than intoxication being a risk for the crisis center. It just doesn't seem appropriate for the article. If nobody objects, I'll remove it. NimbleNavigator (talk) 21:27, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
