Purpose: One of the biggest issues with population health is suicide. It is an example of a self-catastrophe act brought on by a disaster that is frequently not adequately acknowledged by family, acquaintances, or the clinical community. Both sexes as well as all age groups are affected. The literature on Indian "psychological autopsy" (P.A) has not yet been the subject of any reviews. A PA procedure's core component, interview instructions, is similarly in short supply. So, the very purpose f this paper is to suggest or identify a psychological autopsy method that can fit into Indian terrain. Objective: The primary objective of this particular paper is to analyze various journal publications which deal with psychological autopsy and various novel findings from different suicide cases. Especially in India, the rate of psychological autopsy or equivocal death analysis is very low and society is not very clear about the basic use, concepts, and basic procedures of the psychological autopsy. So in this scenario, providing some basic understanding of psychological autopsy is one of the main objectives of this paper. Design/Methodology/Approach: From the beginning until June 2022, electronic searches of the pertinent topic were made using the database systems of PubMed, PsycINFO, Academia, Researchgate, and Google Scholar to find pertinent English or any other languages that had been translated into English language-reviewed articles from India as well as international writings that provided information on best practice elements in PA. Detailed checks were made to ensure that the provided summaries were legitimate. Following the retrieval of important data utilizing such a pre-configured prospectus, a semi-structured discussion outline was produced. The findings of investigations conducted both domestically and abroad on the subject matter have been carefully as well as scientifically compiled. Every scientific journal article finding received a rigorous, systematic, and scientific examination in order to increase the scientific soundness, reliability, as well as accuracy of this document. We gathered the opinions of several knowledgeable professionals in order to boost the originality and dependability of this article. Findings/Result: In order to describe the PA method, several genuine publications, including clinical studies, as well as several clinical reviews/expert comment writings were discovered in India. To evaluate threat elements related to suicidal behavior, the majority of research conducted in India focuses on suicide PA (SPA). The documented proportions of mental illness among suicide-direct descendants varied widely, and potentially distressing circumstances were the other important threat component for suicidal thoughts in the Indian context. The optimum time to tackle PA is presumably between five and a half years following the event when facts may be methodically gathered from selected respondents and certain other resources utilizing a narrative interviewing style, coupled with psychometric evaluations. Originality and Value: The components of physical autopsy analytical methods and psychological autopsy analytical methods were combined in a creative and comprehensive effort. It is hypothesized that a more accurate and scientific way of identifying a particular suicide case can be achieved by combining the two different clinical system dimensions. For reliable results, physicians should combine psychological autopsy data with information from physical autopsies and forensic chemical tests. Paper Type: Clinical analysis paper
Purpose: Tension is generated for everyone concerned when psychological emergencies like severe sensorimotor excitement or suicidal behavior occur in places other than psychological facilities like regular clinics, emergency departments, or clinicians' private offices. These should always be managed right away since they could be fatal. As a tool for their quick as well as efficient care, including the key exhibiting symptoms, multiple diagnoses options, and therapeutic choices for the major categories of mental crises have been included in this paper so that the general population as well as the clinicians of all other specialties other than psychology specialists, can understand the common psychological emergencies and its proper treatment. Objective: There is relatively little reliable data on the frequency of mental crises in routine as well as community practice, in accidents and emergencies in healthcare facilities, or with patients treated by urgent healthcare units. Given the realities of modern healthcare institutions and the public's general hostility to psychological issues of any kind, we shouldn't be surprised that the first therapy for psychological illnesses often doesn't really occur in specialized mental institutions. When there are accidents or crises, people with psychiatric diseases who don't want to be stigmatized commonly resort to ordinary hospital systems since they are commonly both accessible and always open. Understanding different psychological emergencies, as well as associated therapeutic care procedures, is crucial. So the very basic and important objective of this paper is to gain knowledge about some common psychological emergencies and their treatment. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data from a number of reputable, official sources and journal articles were used to produce this clinical research output. Certain data from the emergency department have also been used to develop this study in order to make it more precise and scientific in type. The credibility of the publication has also been guaranteed by expert evaluations from neuropsychologists, general psychologists, doctors, and researchers who are conducting studies in the field. Findings/ Result: Due to the increasing incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and other critical illnesses, more people are visiting the critical healthcare department. The occurrence of psychological events in non-psychological contexts, such as typical clinics and physicians' homes, and subsequent care is poorly documented by the few observational trials and scant precise information that are currently available. The available research emphasizes the need for improvements in both mental emergency evaluation and care. The treatment of this type of issue entails high expectations of the therapist's personality and conduct in addition to the required therapeutic competence. If the patient approaches the emergency department voluntarily or the family takes him/her to the clinic at the earliest, all the psychological problems can be treated with at most results. Originality and value: A thorough attempt has been launched to shed some light on the issue of several frequent psychological emergencies and their appropriate diagnosis in the emergency room using only certain basic evaluation techniques and without wasting much time. Several evaluation tools and criteria have also been given for the convenience of various clinicians with varying levels of experience. Paper Type: Clinical analyses paper
