“…It is plausible that celebrities, both unintentionally and perhaps deliberately, tap into humanity's innate drive for social interaction, thereby infiltrating an individual's distinctive social network, social circle, or even perceptions of kinship (Dunbar & Spoors, 1996). The private sectors have capitalised and profited on these psychological processes for some time (Redmond & Holmes, 2007;Zafer, 1999).…”

ObjectivesThe proficiency of an accomplished psychiatrist encompasses the development, adaptation, and refinement of a biopsychosocial formulation. A formulation aids clinical decision-making by organizing information and furnishes a documented rationale for decisions. Despite its significance, psychiatric trainees often perceive the formulation as arduous and time-intensive, leading to avoidance. Educational shortcomings are pervasive. Addressing this calls for low-cost, novel solutions. Undergraduate medical education possesses aspiring psychiatrists and provides a platform to develop a foundational understanding of formulation. This study aims to explore the viability of a novel, resource-efficient approach employing a celebrity case narrative to attain a fundamental understanding of the psychiatric formulation while concurrently elucidating activated pedagogical cognitions by using such methodology from the student’s perspective.MethodsA psychiatric formulation tutorial was conducted across five distinct final-year medical student cohorts during one academic year. A standardized tutorial structure was devised, incorporating interchangeable case studies. Following the tutorial, a post-tutorial survey was administered, followed by interviews that underwent qualitative analysis.ResultsSeventy-seven participants responded to the survey, expressing favourable views. Twenty students consented to interviews. They were distributed across five sessions with an average of four participants per group. Interviews yielded five key themes: Understanding of formulation, cognitive engagement, emotional salience and ethical considerations with twelve corresponding subthemes. The results suggested viability in using this methodology to teach formulation to foster a basic understanding and elicited a range of pedagogical phenomenon that may have contributed to this understanding.ConclusionThis study indicates that integrating a celebrity narrative into psychiatric formulation teaching intervention bears potential for enhancing engagement concurrently mitigating negative attitudes towards the formulation. The approach reveals latent learning outcomes suggesting a profound pedagogical impact. The range of pedagogical process elucidated lays a foundational research base for future instructional design and research.Declaration of interestNone

ObjectiveThis paper aims to synthesise the literature on machine learning (ML) and big data applications for mental health, highlighting current research and applications in practice. Materials and MethodsEight health and information technology research databases were searched using the terms "big data" or "machine learning" and "mental health". Articles were assessed by two reviewers, and data were extracted on the article's mental health application, ML technique, data type and size, and study results. Articles were then synthesised via narrative review. ResultsThree hundred papers focusing on the application of ML to mental health were identified. Four main application domains emerged in the literature, including: (i) detection and diagnosis; (ii) prognosis, treatment and support; (iii) public health; and, (iv) research and clinical administration. The most common mental health conditions addressed included depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's Disease. ML techniques used included support vector machines, decision trees, neural networks, latent dirichlet allocation, and clustering. Discussion and ConclusionOverall, the application of ML to mental health has demonstrated a range of benefits across the areas of diagnosis, treatment and support, research, and clinical administration.With the majority of studies identified focusing on the detection and diagnosis of mental health conditions, it is evident that there is significant room for the application of ML to improve other areas of psychological functioning. The challenges of using ML techniques are discussed, as well as opportunities to improve and advance the field. BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE

, commonly characterized as 'Mad King George', was Great Britain's longest-reigning king. He ascended the throne in 1860, and during his almost 60-year monarchy, he was both revered and reviled. Despite the turbulence of war, Britain prospered under his reign and experienced significant scientific and technological advancements. Unfortunately, his life has become primarily defined by his health: but did George III actually have porphyria, as popularized in Alan Bennett's The Madness of King George? Did you know that official and personal documents, recently made accessible through the Georgian Papers Programme, have provided intriguing new insight into King George III's reign and health? George III experienced significant recurrent episodes of mental and physical illness. During these, he talked incessantly and obscenely, acted erratically and lewdly, and suffered from insomnia and hallucinations. 1 One of his doctors wrote, 'Rex noster insanit' or 'our King is mad'. 2 Records indicate that he also had pain in his abdomen and joints, muscle weakness, and rash. The cause of George III's 'madness' has been the subject of substantial speculation. In 1966, the psychiatrists Macalpine and Hunter claimed that George III had recurrent attacks of acute intermittent porphyria. 3 Their archival research focused on certain physical manifestations of the king's illness, particularly the incidences of discolored urine. They subsequently changed their diagnosis to variegate porphyria, asserting that this inherited metabolic disorder could be identified in other generations of the king's lineage. 4 Despite some skepticism, the porphyria hypothesis was widely accepted by historians, medical experts, and even popular culture. Alan Bennett's The Madness of King George and its 1994 Oscar-nominated movie adaptation portray the story of the king's declining health and the ensuing betrayals by politicians and the Royal family. The arts generated awareness of porphyria and popularized its role in the deteriorating mental health of the king. Recent studies, however, indicate that the evidence for a diagnosis of porphyria is weak and that Macalpine and Hunter's interpretation is flawed. Using cognitive archaeology, handwriting analysis, and computer diagnostics of documents released through the Georgian Papers Programme, experts now conclude that George III had bipolar disorder. 5,6 George III wrote, 'I spend money on war because it is necessary, but to spend it on science, that is pleasant to me'. 7 Interestingly, it is through the advancement of science and technology that modern-day society may finally have a better understanding of King George III.
