SOURCE: Association of Health Care Journalists: MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: These new resources can help you vet digital mental health tools
If you’re a journalist covering mental health, you’re bound to come across some new digital tool claiming to combat anxiety or encourage healthier self-talk. But reporting on them — whether as a news article about a buzzy new product or in a roundup of resources in a service piece — can be tricky.
As I wrote for an article in the American Psychological Association’s Monitor on Psychology magazine, studies suggest there are tens of thousands of mental health apps on the market, and their safety and efficacy range widely. A few apps have undergone randomized controlled trials and have received FDA authorization. Others make bold claims and can compromise patient safety and privacy. Some may pose relatively low risk, but they also aren’t a substitute for traditional mental health care.
How are consumers, mental health professionals and journalists supposed to keep up with the good, bad and in-between? One way is through two relatively new programs from professional psychological and psychiatric organizations. Here’s an overview:
The American Psychological Association’s Digital Badge Program
This system provides “independent, evidence-based evaluations of digital mental and behavioral health technologies,” the APA said. “Each evaluation is grounded in evidence, clinical insight, regulatory alignment, and user safety.” To search for various tools and see how they stack up, explore the program’s Digital Badge Solutions Library.
The American Psychiatric Association’s App Advisor
This is a series of questions you can go through when trying to decide whether an app is an appropriate choice for a certain person or situation. The goal, the APA says, is “to provide a hierarchical rating system with content-specific questions that guide a thoughtful approach to app selection.”
This process aims to help people “understand the key information that should be considered when choosing an app, and how this differs from selecting traditional therapeutic interventions.”

SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: STAT+: Lindsay Clancy case exposes dangers of fragmented U.S. health system, experts say
Thirteen medications across 30 different prescriptions. Five clinicians. Two hospitals.
In the four months before killing her three children and attempting to kill herself, Lindsay Clancy desperately sought help for her deteriorating mental condition. But as her ongoing murder trial has made clear, the help she got was scattered across multiple providers who gave conflicting advice and, crucially, didn’t talk to one another.
For Americans with private insurance, Clancy included, this kind of fragmented care is the norm. Not only are providers siloed within their own employers with little incentive to communicate, there’s no universal electronic health records where they can see the totality of a patient’s care and medications. Experts following the Clancy case said if there had been someone in the driver’s seat responsible for overseeing all of her care, things may have turned out differently.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Medicinal mushroom supplements linked to a sudden relapse of psychosis in new case report
A recent medical report details the case of a young man whose psychotic symptoms worsened sharply after he took non-prescription medicinal mushroom supplements. Published in the Primary Care Companion for CNS Disorders, the paper suggests that seemingly harmless natural remedies might carry unexpected psychiatric risks for certain individuals. The observations highlight the necessity of discussing all dietary supplements with a doctor, especially when managing complex mental health conditions.
Dietary supplements, including vitamins, herbs, and mushroom extracts, are incredibly popular for their perceived health benefits. Many people assume that because these products are natural, they are entirely safe to consume. A growing body of medical literature indicates that various natural ingredients can sometimes trigger psychiatric issues or interact poorly with standard medications. Past research provides evidence of severe anxiety, confusion, and even hallucinations linked to certain plant-based pills and herbal extracts.
Psychiatrists Kirat Kaur and Shobit Garg authored the new case report to draw attention to these overlooked risks. Their work builds on earlier medical records documenting similar unusual reactions to over-the-counter remedies. A 2016 medical report described a man who developed severe paranoia and hallucinations after taking multiple brain support supplements and weight loss pills. Once the man stopped taking the supplements, his psychological symptoms faded, suggesting a link between the herbal ingredients and his mental distress.
The active ingredients in many natural products can sometimes alter the way the brain processes dopamine and serotonin. These are neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that help regulate mood, thoughts, and perception. When these chemicals become unbalanced, it can lead to perceptual disturbances like seeing or hearing things that are not there. Some plant extracts can also inhibit enzymes in the digestive system, changing how the body absorbs and processes conventional medications.
Because the dietary supplement industry lacks rigorous government oversight, products can contain unlisted ingredients or varying concentrations of active compounds. Historical reviews of herbal medicine have shown that poorly regulated products sometimes contain hidden prescription drugs or heavy metals. Even without contamination, natural neuroactive compounds can place stress on a vulnerable nervous system. Decades of traditional use in various cultures do not always guarantee modern safety, especially for people with complicated medical histories.
In the recent report, Kaur and Garg detail the experience of a 24-year-old man from India. The patient had a history of cerebral palsy, a group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, caused by a brain injury around the time of his birth. He also had a mild intellectual disability and relied on caregivers for his daily activities. He had no previous history of psychiatric illness or substance abuse.
The man was brought to a psychiatric clinic after developing distressing auditory hallucinations over a two-month period. He described hearing a female voice that criticized his actions and made derogatory comments. These hallucinations occurred multiple times a day and caused him intense anxiety and agitation. He did not experience any visual hallucinations or delusional beliefs.
To treat the symptoms, doctors prescribed risperidone, an antipsychotic medication commonly used to manage schizophrenia and related disorders. They also prescribed etizolam to reduce his anxiety and propranolol to control his physical stress responses. Within a few days of starting this medication regimen, his hallucinations faded in intensity, and his overall behavior improved.
After he showed this initial improvement, his family decided to give him a dietary supplement without consulting his doctors. The product was a mushroom-based blend marketed to boost immune function and cognitive health. It contained high doses of extracts from several mushrooms, including lion’s mane, shiitake, reishi, and turkey tail. The family gave him a daily dose of roughly 1,280 milligrams of these combined mushroom extracts.
Within two to three days of starting the supplement, the man experienced a drastic return of his psychotic symptoms. The auditory hallucinations became much more frequent and intense, and he grew highly fearful and agitated. His prescribed psychiatric medications had not been changed in any way. The doctors suspected the newly introduced mushroom blend was responsible for the sudden decline in his mental state.
Recognizing the timeline of events, the family immediately stopped giving him the supplement. Over the next few days, his severe symptoms faded, and he returned to the stable state he had achieved before taking the mushrooms. This rapid recovery after removing the product provides evidence linking the mushroom extract to the sudden relapse. The doctors continued his standard psychiatric medications without any further issues.
Kaur and Garg suggest that medicinal mushrooms like lion’s mane might alter brain chemistry in unintended ways. These mushrooms are known to promote nerve growth factors, which are proteins that help maintain and grow brain cells. This process might inadvertently shift the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain. For someone with a preexisting brain injury like cerebral palsy, this shift might disrupt a fragile neurological system and trigger psychotic symptoms.
Medical case reports focus on the experiences of a single individual, making it difficult to generalize the findings to the broader population. A single observation cannot establish a direct cause and effect relationship between an ingredient and a symptom. The man’s reaction might have been an uncommon response due to his specific medical history, his existing medications, or an unlisted contaminant in the supplement itself. This specific case does not indicate that non-hallucinogenic mushroom supplements pose a severe psychiatric threat to healthy individuals.
Individual medical cases help doctors identify potential rare side effects that large clinical trials might miss. They offer early warnings for medical professionals to monitor in other patients, particularly those with underlying vulnerabilities. Scientists need to conduct larger, controlled studies to understand how medicinal mushrooms interact with brain chemistry and psychiatric medications. Until then, the report indicates that doctors should routinely ask their patients about any non-prescription products they might be taking.
The report, “Exacerbation of Psychotic Symptoms Associated With Mushroom-Based Supplementation in a Patient With Cerebral Palsy,” was authored by Kirat Kaur and Shobit Garg.
