Latest From Psychiatric News

Psychiatric News, the official print and electronic news service of the American Psychiatric Association, is the primary and most trusted source of information for APA members, other physicians and health professionals, and the public about developments in the field of psychiatry that impact clinical care and professional practice.

It accomplishes these goals by providing important clinical and research news across the spectrum of psychiatry, medicine, and the biobehavioral sciences; providing information about mental health issues with a particular focus on news that affects the profession of psychiatry and the delivery of quality care to patients; providing information that focuses on APA’s policies, programs, and actions, across the spectrum of APA’s activities including areas such as advocacy, education, ethics, minority interests, and clinical guidelines; and serving as a forum for the exchange of a full range of ideas and opinions among members, thus assisting in creating a sense of community.

Psychiatric News is published monthly. For the web edition, articles are posted on a breaking-news basis and then moved to their respective issue upon publication of that issue.
