AbstractThere had been a long way to go before we felt comfortable about even discussing the issues revolving around the concept of ‘schizophrenia’, let alone reckoning on mere semantic revision. In this editorial, we aim to extend our discussion on the reasons behind the slow death of the concept of ‘schizophrenia’ and the benefits of changing the name and embracing a spectrum approach with an umbrella psychosis spectrum disorder (PSD) category (similar to autism spectrum disorder) that goes further than a mere semantic revision. We attempted to cover the topic of the renaming by providing five most pertinent points categorised under five domains: reasons, signals, challenges, promises and steps for the change. Admittedly, even a modest revision, such as classifying all psychotic disorder categories under an umbrella category of PSD, and abolishing the term schizophrenia requires careful deliberation and some effort in the beginning, but the revision is well worth the effort considering the benefits in the long run. Renaming a particular form of mental suffering should be accompanied by a broader debate of the entire diagnosis-evidence-based-practice (EBP)-symptom-reduction model as the normative factor driving the content and organisation of mental health services that may be detached from patients’ needs and reality, overlooks the trans-syndromal structure of mental difficulties, appraises the significance of the technical features over the relational and ritual components of care, and underestimates the lack of EBP group-to-individual generalisability. Individuals may make great strides in attaining well-being by accommodating to living with mental vulnerabilities through building resilience in the social and existential domains. Changing the name and the concept of ‘schizophrenia’, which goes beyond a mere semantic revision, may become the first step that allows catalysation of the process of modernising psychiatric science and services worldwide.

It is easy to assume that being licensed to practice a mental health profession independently renders one competent to manage effectively every clinical challenge that comes one’s way. Whether novice or experienced senior clinician, all mental health practitioners face clinically challenging situations, ethical dilemmas, and legally perplexing situations in the course of assessing and treating clients. This chapter explains the role of expert consultants in these situations and how they may save one significant money, time, and stress in the long run. Further, this chapter highlights the types of situations during which consultation and supervision may be especially helpful. Guidance is provided on how to know when this type of support and assistance is needed or may be beneficial, both to the client and to the mental health clinician, and how best to utilize it.

For two decades, Government of Nepal has made efforts to develop and maintain mental health professionals in all areas; however, much has to be done. This could be an opportunity for Nepal to redesign mental healthcare services at the community level. Primary mental health services integrated with community mental health could help children and families cope with and recover from mental illnesses in the long run.

Abstract We surveyed a large sample of Swedish lottery players about their psychological well-being 5–22 years after a major lottery event and analysed the data following pre-registered procedures. Relative to matched controls, large-prize winners experience sustained increases in overall life satisfaction that persist for over a decade and show no evidence of dissipating over time. The estimated treatment effects on happiness and mental health are significantly smaller. Follow-up analyses of domain-specific aspects of life satisfaction implicate financial life satisfaction as an important mediator for the long-run increase in overall life satisfaction.

Different Characteristics

Hoewel de relatie tussen echtscheiding en mentale gezondheid reeds veel onderzocht werd, is nog weinig geweten over de rol van het echtscheidingsproces zelf. Deze studie beschouwt verschillende kenmerken van dit proces en hoe zij linken aan welzijn na echtscheiding: conflict, duur, initiatiefname, verhuizen, en gevoelens van (on)billijkheid betreffende de verdeling van de goederen. Data van het onderzoek “Scheiding in Vlaanderen” (SiV) werden gebruikt. Multi‐level regressies werden beperkt tot gescheiden mannen en vrouwen tussen 25 en 60 jaar oud, die maximaal 5 jaar geleden uit de echt scheidden (N=728). Resultaten tonen aan dat mannen en vrouwen die zelf het initiatief namen een beter welbevinden rapporteren, ook bij een gedeelde initiatiefname. Dit geldt ook voor wie de verdeling als billijk ervaart. Tegen de verwachting in, relateert conflict tijdens het proces, noch de duur van het proces aan welbevinden op lange termijn; maar voortdurend conflict met de ex‐partner wel. De resultaten beklemtonen de nood om de focus aangaande het echtscheidingsproces te verleggen van ‘snelheid’ naar ‘kwaliteit’. Abstract : Although the link between divorce and mental health has received a great deal of attention so far, still little is known about the process of divorce. This study considers different characteristics of it, and how they relate to post‐divorce wellbeing: conflict, duration, initiation, moving house, and feelings of (in)equity with regard to the division of goods. Data from the survey “Divorce in Flanders” (DIF) is used. Multi‐level regressions were limited to men and women aged 25 to 60 years who had divorced, but no more than 5 years ago (N=728). Results indicate that initiation relates to better mental health for both men and women, also in case of shared initiation. The same holds for when one perceives the division at divorce as fair. Contrary to expectations, duration, nor conflict in divorce is related to mental health in the long run; but continuing conflict is. Results stress a need to shift focus from ‘speed’ to ‘quality’ concerning the process of divorce.
