Neuropsychiatric manifestations following the use of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA: "Ecstasy").

1. The recurring side-effects associated with MDMA consumption are reviewed. 2. The recreational use of "Ecstasy" has been implicated in the onset of various psychological, neurological, and organic complications. A table has been employed to depict the deleterious reactions that have occurred following MDMA ingestion. 3. An original case report is presented in which an individual developed perpetual neuropsychiatric symptomatology after having consumed MDMA. This case indicates that MDMA may induce long lasting effects, even after one exposure.

Nicotine dependence. Diagnosis and treatment.

Psychiatrists must become more involved in the engagement and treatment of nicotine-dependent patients in their clinical practice because it is the number one killer in the DSM-III-R. There is no single treatment that will fit all psychiatric patients. Instead, a carefully tailored treatment plan is generated using the seven tier system to fit each patient and their psychosocial profile. Psychiatrists have the medical, social, and psychological training needed to manage nicotine-dependent patients. Although further research is needed, psychiatrists should no longer ignore their responsibility to treat nicotine dependence.
