The data presented indicate signifi cant fl uctuations in the incidence and prevalence rates. A significant proportion of organic nonpsychotic mental disorders in the structure of the incidence of nonpsychotic mental disorders in rural residents requires the adoption of appropriate organizational measures to optimize the system of assistance and prevention of mental health disorders in the rural population.

BACKGROUND: Pasung is an act using a block of wood on someone’s hands and/or feet, tied or chained, exiled in a separate place in the house or in the forest. Mental disorders are still a serious mental health problem in Indonesia. There are still many schizophrenics who do not receive medical treatment or who drop out of medical treatment and eventually put in a Pasung. CASE REPORT: We found several cases of patients with schizophrenia who were incarcerated, men aged 43 years and 40 years. They were diagnosed with schizophrenia with different characteristics of the disorder, different treatments, and in the end the Pasung became the last alternative completed by the family. CONCLUSION: Ignorance of the family and surrounding community over the early detection and forced treatment at the Mental Hospital (asylum), causing patients not handled properly. It is only culturally known by the family to handle it, Pasung that is to prevent people with severe mental disorders from endangering themselves and others.

Among the challenges clinicians and researchers face regarding behavioral disturbances of dementia are how to conceptualize them and how to measure them. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.) recognizes that dementia can be associated with mood symptoms and delusions by formally coding for them but does not have codes for coexisting hallucinations or other specific behavioral symptoms associated with dementia. One reason for this lack of coding classification is the difficulty in conceptualizing the many behavioral disorders, symptoms, and problems seen in patients with dementia.

Abstract Chapter 14, Mental and Behavioral Disorders, in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, defines a process for assessing permanent impairment, including providing numeric ratings, for persons with specific mental and behavioral disorders. These mental disorders are limited to mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders, and this chapter focuses on the evaluation of brain functioning and its effects on behavior in the absence of evident traumatic or disease-related objective central nervous system damage. This article poses and answers questions about the sixth edition. For example, this is the first since the second edition (1984) that provides a numeric impairment rating, and this edition establishes a standard, uniform template to translate human trauma or disease into a percentage of whole person impairment. Persons who conduct independent mental and behavioral evaluation using this chapter should be trained in psychiatry or psychology; other users should be experienced in psychiatric or psychological evaluations and should have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders. The critical first step in determining a mental or behavioral impairment rating is to document the existence of a definitive diagnosis based on the current edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The article also enumerates the psychiatric disorders that are considered ratable in the sixth edition, addresses use of the sixth edition during independent medical evaluations, and answers additional questions.
