6/ Mental health conversations are already happening everywhere—online, in the media, in communities, and increasingly through technology itself.

The question is not whether these conversations will occur. The question is whether psychiatry will help shape them responsibly.

1/ The San Francisco APA Annual Meeting has concluded. As always, it was an opportunity to learn, reconnect with old friends, meet new colleagues, and reflect on where psychiatry stands—and where it may be going.

5/ Some voices will be thoughtful and constructive. Others will not.

As a profession, psychiatry has a responsibility to meet people where they are and provide information that is accessible, evidence-based, transparent, and intellectually honest.

Walked into my local public library to find this 1985 pristine #EncyclopediaBrittanica set.

I am no longer anxious about the Internet turning off and all my essential knowledge going up in smoke. I have my #Britannica.

I think that before any new DSM committee begins its work, the members would do well to reread the Feighner article and remember that there are many elements to making a medical diagnosis. https://t.co/EsMtw3ynF4

EDITOR'S DESK | House practices beneficence in its rawest form: He saves the patient at any cost. Treatments are pursued because they are right, not because they glide through prior authorization. https://t.co/1MqgHv9Olb

TV’s Dr. Gregory House lies, manipulates, sedates, and bulldozes autonomy, but he does so in service of healing—while in the real world, we follow rules in service of systems. https://t.co/qGVYJ9YDKq

Thrilled with how our first Point/Counterpoint column in @PsychiatricNews landed — and encouraged by the early response!

Huge thanks to @IshuUjval (Ujval “Ishu” Pathak), @DrHowardLiu, Kim-Lan Czelusta, MD, and Clara Guo, MD MBA for showing what real civil, informed disagreement looks like.

This is exactly why we launched the column — thoughtful debate over polarization.

Grateful to everyone helping bring this to life! #Psychiatry #MentalHealthMatters

EDITOR'S DESK | Then something stirred in my memory. I completed medical school in Romania, where psychiatric semiology was shaped by French and German traditions. Suddenly, a different diagnostic possibility came to mind: cycloid psychosis. https://t.co/rSk1b85LGm
