Memory disorders and disturbances are frequently encountered in the clinical practice and are a feature of the majority of psychiatric and neurological conditions causing significant disability. With the rapidly evolving understanding of the nature, different forms and assessments of memory disorders, it becomes crucially important to periodically take stock of the nature of research that falls within its purview. Assessment of the nature of the memory disorder and the functional consequences for the individual should precede remediation and intervention planning. The present mini-review is one such attempt to provide a scan of the emerging empirical literature that has attempted to understand, assess and enhance memory disturbances in the clinical setting.

Media plays a significant role in today’s society by providing a very wide range of information in a variety of ways. Various media strongly influence community attitudes, beliefs and behaviour. The factors contributing to suicide and its prevention are complex and not fully understood, but there is evidence that the media plays a significant role. On the one hand, vulnerable individuals may be influenced to engage in imitative behaviours by reports of suicide, particularly if the coverage is extensive, prominent, sensationalist. On the other hand, responsible reporting may serve to educate the public about suicide, and may encourage those at risk of suicide to seek help. Restriction of access to means of suicide and “influencing” media reporting of suicide in the positive direction are two most accepted methods of suicide prevention.

One of the most consistent symptoms associated with major depressive disorder is sleep disturbance, may be the sole reason that depressed patients first seek help, and is one of the few proven risk factors for suicide. The link between the two is so fundamental that some researchers have suggested that a diagnosis of depression in the absence of sleep complaints should be made with caution. If sleep problems remain after other symptoms are ameliorated, there is a significantly increased risk of relapse and recurrence.1

The concept of 'psychogenic vertigo' also known otherwise as 'psychiatric dizziness' has always been considered as an unclear disorder that makes it both difficult to understand as well as to treat. Consequently in a number of cases it has been difficult to distinguish it from vertigo caused solely due to organic causes, to understand its phenomenology and thus plan an adequate intervention. The present case study reports a case of psychogenic vertigo where the aim was to have a multidimensional assessment of psychological and neuropsychological factors of the case. The neuropsychological test findings indicated difficulty in switching attention and set-shifting along with deficit in planning. Difficulty in both recall as well as in recognition was also noted, which suggested a problem with the encoding and consolidation process itself. Psychological test findings indicated features of introversion, difficulty in reality testing under stressful situations, somatic preoccupation, negative self-worth. Deficits in planning indicated dysexecution which also suggested the possibility of making the patient vulnerable to adverse life events which was evident in findings suggestive of adjustment problem and difficulty in maintaining close emotional ties. Test findings further indicated anxiety arising out of (conflicts between achievement versus inadequacy, succorance versus aggression; the defenses which were in use were rationalization, projection, distortion, and acting out.
