Implication Statement The Psychiatry Information Card (PIC) offers a practical, structured concise resource to enhance medical students' confidence, knowledge, and self-reflection during psychiatry rotations. Its utility lies in providing targeted support for students navigating the transition from classroom learning to clinical practice, and addressing specific challenges encountered during this critical phase of medical education. By offering accessible and relevant information aligned with rotation objectives, the PIC increased knowledge pre and post rotation, and enhanced the learning experience. The PIC's acceptability is demonstrated by the high recommendation rate (90%) among participants, who endorsed its integration into the rotations. Additionally, the low cost and ease of distribution make the PIC a cost-effective resource, further supporting its feasibility for widespread implementation. Therefore, we recommend formal integration into the curriculum.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in social behavior and executive function (EF), particularly in cognitive flexibility. Whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve cognitive outcomes in patients with ASD remains an open question. We examined the acute effects of prefrontal TMS on cortical excitability and fluid cognition in individuals with ASD who underwent TMS for refractory major depression.

Objective: This article focuses on utilizing therapeutic letters within group schema therapy-an innovative therapeutic approach that integrates elements from various therapeutic disciplines. The primary aim is to explore how therapeutic letters can enhance the therapeutic process and support the treatment of patients.
Methods: To achieve this objective, we conducted a narrative literature review centred on schema therapy and using therapeutic letters as a therapeutic strategy.

Objective: We aimed to examine the cognitive profile in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and its association with traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. In addition, resemblance in the cognitive profile between youths with AN and their parents was explored.
Methods: Adolescent females with acute AN (n = 20) and a healthy comparison group (n = 28) completed neuropsychological tasks of set-shifting (Trail making test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) and central coherence (Rey Complex Figures Task, Group Embedded Figures Test, object assembly subtest).

Background And Hypothesis: Cognitive impairments are particularly disabling for patients with a psychotic disorder and often persist despite optimization of antipsychotic treatment. Thus, motivating an extension of the research focus on the endocannabinoid system. The aim of this study was to evaluate group differences in brain fatty acid amid hydrolase (FAAH), an endocannabinoid enzyme between first-episode psychosis (FEP), individuals with clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis and healthy controls (HCs).
