TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented case reports of adult patients with COVID-19 infections who presented with severe psychosis and mania with no prior psychiatric history and in the absence of significant medical or pulmonary symptoms and an unremarkable neurological work-up.

TL;DR: Investigation of substance abuse/dependence subtypes in a diverse low-income welfare to work sample and subtype differences in rates of comorbid psychiatric and medical conditions revealed several between-class differences, perhaps reflecting differing levels of severity and service needs.

TL;DR: In this era of cost containment and outside review of professional practices, psychiatrists must take responsibility for identifying areas where patient services and billings for them are not justified by clinical indications.

TL;DR: The authors conclude that by contracting directly with insurers on a full-risk capitation basis, departments of psychiatry will be better able to face the economic threats posed by the cost constraints inherent in managed care and maintain or re-establish their autonomy as care managers as well as high-quality care providers.

TL;DR: The colocation model was effective in identifying and treating psychiatric comorbidities and colocation was financially sustainable under certain conditions.
