This is why applying guidelines blindly and using research findings as the sole justification of you clinical practice is flawed and unrealistic. Critical reasoning and experience is as important, until further notice.
This is the sad state of the largest provider of psychiatric care in Lebanon. No matter how one feels about Deir El Saleeb it has for decades been the last resort for the most vulnerable and ill. It deserves support today @lebpsychiatry#mentalhealth https://t.co/6dZYOtbsGa
If a person writes a personal suicide note addressed to a family member how does it end up disseminated all over social media? There is a right to privacy in death, including when by suicide.
Leading the first @lebpsychiatry Residents Section meeting of the year, with different university hospitals represented. Small steps towards better mental health care 🇱🇧 #futurepsychiatrists

Dear Minister @firassabiad. This medication that kept more than 1200 former Heroin addicts safe for over 10 years under a program by @mophleb will be out of stock in the coming weeks unless an urgent solution is found to avoid life threatening situations .#Lebanon#mentalhealth
We have had to treat a couple of cases of Tardive Dyskinesia induced by the commonly prescribed and abused tranquilizer ‘Deanxit’ in Lebanon. Many assume wrongly that it is harmless.
One advantage of my profession is that we get exposed to people from an amazing range of backgrounds. Forcing us to understand culture, religion, class and personality. Today my patients came from 8 countries. We spoke 3 languages and one needed a translator. #choosepsychiatry
1/5 To leave or not to leave, this is the question.
As doctors contemplate whether to leave the country or stay, two issues take precedence over everything else: the welfare of their family, and what will happen to their medical practice.
More patients being seen in clinic with post COVID depression like symptoms. No previous psychiatric history. No comorbidities. A syndrome to watch. No guidelines for treatment. #COVID19 🦠 😷
For those politicians calling on expats to ‘help’ by sending fresh dollars to families at home. Many expats have lost millions invested in your corrupt banking sector They are also victims and await solutions. Not a cash cow 🐮 to milk🥛 everytime you fail. #Lebanon
Just read the suicide note left by the young man who ended his life posted by @Annahar on their instagram page. Seriously irresponsible and unethical to share such personal content. You are not saving lives this way or raising awareness.
@naylatueni This should be removed.
No one is above seeking professional help in difficult times. The pope did.
Asked if he saw a therapist the pope said: “No, she was a psychiatrist. And over the course of those six months, she helped me find my way of dealing with the fears of that era.” https://t.co/VUnFv9nevK
