“…Although we found no significant differences between women and men in any of the diagnoses, there was a gender difference in having previously received treatment, which is in line with some other studies (Lindamer et al, 2003; Ziegenbein et al, 2006), and with Finnish general population figures [7% women, 4% men seeking mental health treatment in 1 year; (Alha and Pirkola, 2006)]. Most of these offenders had been in psychiatric treatment at some point, and even at the time of offending one third of the women and only slightly fewer men had on‐going contact with the psychiatric services; the gender difference in previous mental health treatment had faded away by the time of the index offence.…”

“…Goldberg et al (33) found that presence of psychosis, a suicide plan, and a history of past suicide attempts predicted hospitalization of adults presenting with suicidal ideation for emergency care. As found in the present study, suicidality was the strongest predictor of admission from ED (34).…”

Possible predictors of hospitalization for adolescents with conduct disorder seen in psychiatric emergency service Objective: The aim was to investigate predictors of hospitalization of adolescents with conduct disorder (CD) seen in emergency service of a mental health hospital.Method: Patients were evaluated retrospectively by age, gender, school status, family structure, presenting symptoms and their duration, comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, prior emergency service or outpatient clinic use, prior psychiatric hospitalization and family history of any mental disorder, according to first presentation during a 6-month period.Results: Mean age was 15.69±1.26 (12-17) years. Of the total of 144 patients, 61.8% (n=89) were female and 50 (34.7%) were hospitalized. Adolescents admitted to the inpatient unit presented significantly more often with suicidal ideation, had longer symptom duration, and were more likely to have a comorbid psychiatric disorder and a family history of a psychiatric disorder compared to those not admitted. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, suicidal ideation, having a comorbid psychiatric disorder, and having family history of a mental disorder predicted admission to the psychiatric inpatient unit. Conclusion:Clinicians in emergency settings should be aware of the prediction of hospitalization in adolescents with CD who have suicidal ideation, a comorbid psychiatric disorder and family history of a mental disorder. Suicide attempt seems to have an indirect effect, rather than a direct effect, on the prediction of hospitalization in youths with CD.

“…While the decision on admission is made primarily on the basis of clinical assessment and the diagnosis rendered. However, other, possibly unknown or obscure criteria may also have an important influence on the rate of admissions (Ziegenbein, Anreis, Brüggen, Ohlmeier, & Kropp, 2006 ). Even in those cities with mental health legislation, the principles like “impairment of mental function” and “need for treatment” were oversimplified and permitted different interpretations.…”

Background In order to protect the rights of the mentally ill, legislation on the standards and procedures of compulsory detention has been made at the local and national level in China. Aims This study aims to examine psychiatrists’ attitude to seeking involuntary admission in China mainland. Method Three hundred and fourteen qualified members of Chinese Psychiatrist Association (CPA) were surveyed using a questionnaire to assess their attitudes about the procedure of involuntary admission to mental hospitals. Data were analyzed using chi-squares and logistic regression. Results Some psychiatrists in CPA had several arbitrary attitudes in the process of admission. Female, age under 35, low education level and low position in institution are associated with stricter attitudes in the procedure of involuntary admission. Areas with mental health legislation showed significant positive relations with stricter attitudes. Conclusions Every effort needs to be made to minimize these arbitrary attitudes to prevent negative outcomes. Protecting the rights of people diagnosed with mental illness still has a long way to go.
