psychiatry related movie #2

since it was a break for me, i have been catching up some movies that i missed. i was surprised that this movie showed some elements of a psychiatric illness which lead the character to go through a tragic ending.

the reason why i watched this movie is because it has Leighton Meester and Gwyneth Paltrow. An easy going movie but with strong emotions displayed by each characters. An enjoyable movie to conclude it all.

I will not write its sypnosis or even explaining on the whole plots here since i am not the kind of person who likes to spoil a movie. So, to all the Psychiatrist wannabes, go and watch this!

Drugs in Psychiatry

I attended Psychiatry Workshop in Hospital Putrajaya today.

So, simple explaination for the main groups of drugs used in Psychiatry are as follows :

1. Antipsychotic : reduce Dopamine
2. Antidepressant : Prevent Serotonin destruction
3. Mood Stabiliser : cell membrane stabiliser
4. Benzodiazepine : GABA inhibition.

I've just finished watching this movie and yes, it contains pyschiatric elements. Here, you can tell the presence of hallucinations and delusions though not clearly stated in the reviews whether the character does have any illness. i think the character also experiences an eating disorder. 


guess this adds up the list other than having to mention about "beautiful mind" all the time.
