Standards of care for people who self-harm must be improved, says NICE
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published a quality standard to improve the quality of care and support for children, young people, and adults who self-harm.
The term self-harm is used to refer to any act of self-injury or self-poisoning carried out by a person, irrespective of their motivation. This commonly involves self-injury by cutting or self-poisoning with medication. Hospitals in England deal with around 220,000 episodes of self-harm by 150,000 people each year [i].
A wide range of mental health problems are associated with self-harm, including borderline personality disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and drug and alcohol use disorders. People who self-harm are 50 to 100 times more likely to die by suicide in the 12-month period after an episode than people who do not self-harm [ii].

NICE to consider US approach to treating depression
NICE is to consider the US approach to treating people with
depression, after latest research found that the treatment model could
be successfully replicated in the UK.
While the vast majority of cases of depression in the UK are treated within primary care, barriers exist between GPs and specialist mental health services that can hinder patient care.
In the US, depression is treated using a collaborative care method which involves the use of care managers who liaise between GPs and mental health specialists. Depressed people often have access to a team of specialists, with advice and support often given over the phone.

Tailor management of autism in children and young people to individual needs
Health and social care professionals should tailor the management and assessment of children and young people with autism to individual needs
to ensure they receive the best care, according to NICE.
Managing autism can be challenging due to the range of problems it is associated with, and because the way in which autism is expressed will differ across different ages.
Coexisting psychiatric disorders can also present challenges for management, with around 70 per cent of people with autism also having conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or anxiety disorders.

Psychosocial assessments can help tackle hidden problem of self-harm
Experts have called on all children and young people who self-harm to be given a full psychosocial assessment to help address the “hidden problem” among mental health and behavioural conditions.
Official statistics published last week highlighted that a significant number of hospital cases among young people have resulted from self-harm. Admissions following self-harm were particularly high among teenage girls, with 13,400 hospital cases among 15-19 year olds recorded in the last year alone.
Self-harm is caused by a range of underlying factors, though mental health conditions such as depression are known to increase risk. Individuals who self-harm are also at increased risk of repeating such incidents and of suicide.
Families need support to help tackle child obesity time-bomb
Local authorities and the NHS should do more to support families to
help them tackle the time-bomb of obesity in children and young people,
says NICE.
Families should be encouraged to eat healthily and be physically active by taking up activities that children enjoy such as active play and dancing, as well as reducing the amount of time spent playing computer games and watching television.

NICE Citizens Council publishes final report on development of social care guidance
The Citizens Council, which advises the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, has published its final report on factors that it believes should be considered when NICE develops social care guidance.
At a two-day meeting in early 2013, the 30 members of the public who make up the Citizens Council discussed which aspects of benefit, cost, and need NICE should bear in mind when producing guidance on social care. NICE assumed responsibility for developing guidance and quality standards for social care from April 2013.
As this is a new area of work for NICE, the Council's advice is informing the development of processes and methods, and action is already being taken based on the Council's conclusions.

NICE plans to recommend a new treatment for children with bipolar disorder
NICE, the health and social care guidance body, has issued new draft guidance
proposing to recommend aripiprazole (Abilify, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals
Europe), for treating moderate to severe manic episodes in adolescents
aged 13 and older with bipolar I disorder1.
Commenting on the draft guidance, Professor Carole Longson, Director, Centre for Health Technology Evaluation, said. “Bipolar disorder is a serious mental health condition which is characterised by episodes of mania and depression. During a manic episode, the young person usually experiences irritability, poor concentration, little need for sleep and poor temper control. They may also feel over-confident and be driven to take unnecessary risks.

NICE and social care
NICE has a new responsibility, from April 2013, to develop guidance and
quality standards for social care in England. This provides an
opportunity to apply an evidence-based system to decision-making in the
social care sector, similar to that provided for the NHS. It will also
allow us to produce guidance that promotes better integration between
health, public health and social care services. Our guidance will be
developed in close partnership with, rather than imposed upon, service
users and carers, practitioners and organisations working in social
care.
A one-size fits all approach to measure body mass does not work in our diverse population, says NICE
Professor Mike Kelly, Director of the Centre for Public Health at NICE explained:
“The point at which the level of body fat becomes risky to health
varies between ethnic groups. Healthcare workers should apply lower
thresholds to people from black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups
than to those of white European descent. Excess body fat contributes to
more than half of cases of type 2 diabetes, one in five of heart disease
and between 8% and 42% of certain cancers (breast, colon and
endometrial)[1].
The number of people affected by these health conditions is far greater
among black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups - despite rates of
obesity among these groups being similar to the white population[2]”.
In the UK, people of black African and African-Caribbean origin are three times more likely to have type 2 diabetes than the white population[3]. Type 2 diabetes is also more common among Chinese people[4]. In addition, people from all of these groups are more at risk of stroke[5].

NICE consults on draft recommendations for conduct disorders in children and young people
NICE, the healthcare guidance body, is currently developing a
clinical guideline on the recognition and management of conduct
disorders and antisocial behaviour in children and young people. As part
of this process, draft recommendations have been published on the NICE
website today (15 August) for public consultation.
Conduct disorders are characterised by repeated and persistent misbehaviour much worse than would normally be expected in a child of that age. This may include stealing, fighting, vandalism and harming people or animals. These disorders are the most common reason for children to be referred to mental health services, with around 5% of all children aged between 5 and 16 years diagnosed with the condition. Conduct disorders also often coexist with other mental health disorders, most commonly attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

A prompt diagnosis of social anxiety disorder is crucial in ensuring
people access the most clinically and cost effective treatment,
according to NICE.
Social anxiety disorder, which has been called 'social phobia' in the past, is one of the most common of the anxiety disorders, affecting around one in ten people.

An integrated approach is fundamental in care of adults with drug use disorders, says NICE
The NHS needs to work closely with social services, local authorities
and the voluntary sector if it is to deliver the best chance of
recovery for adults with drug use disorders, says NICE in a new quality standard, published today (19 November). The quality standard covers adults (18 years and older) who misuse opioids1, cannabis, stimulants or other drugs.
Whilst patterns of drug use vary in England and Wales, cannabis is the most commonly used drug, followed by cocaine and then other stimulants such as amphetamines. Drug misuse is more prevalent in areas of social deprivation and presents a wide range of health and social care problems. Many people who misuse drugs have lifestyles that contribute to bad health and injecting drug users are particularly vulnerable to contracting and spreading blood borne viruses and other infections. A long term study of people with an addiction to heroin showed they had a mortality risk 12 times greater than the general population2
