Welcome to Clinically Psyched.
In addition to our Neuroscience News website, our team decided that there was a need to create a non profit website to promote breaking news in clinical psychology, biological psychology and psychopharmacology. We feel there is a lack of websites dedicated to breaking news within these fields, so decided to create this resource to keep psychology professionals and clinical psychology students abreast of current discoveries in clinical psychology.
The Clinically Psyched team scour the news daily for relevant news which we believe is vital within clinical psychology. We only choose headlines related to clinical psychology and post the relevant links. Occasionally, the original link may not be available without registration, so we link the clinical psychology news article to a secondary source.
We actively encourage our clinical psychology news readers to submit clinical psychology articles, clinical psychology related breaking news, clinical psychology abstracts, psychology links and suggestions to help develop our website. As such, we frequently update Clinically Psyched, so be sure to check back with us often.
Clinically Psyched is especially interested in clinical psychology student submission and we intend to develop an area where psychology students can post papers they believe may be suitable for our readers. We do ask for all paper submissions to be accompanied by a reference page formatted in the standard BPS/APA style. If any articles are used in papers by our users, we strongly insist that both Clinically Psyched and the original author/source are referenced.
It is our hope that clinical psychology professionals, university psychology departments, clinical psychology students and anyone interested in the field of clinical psychology will find this a useful resource and assist in the development of this website.
Be sure to read our user articles, clinical psychology articles, neurotheology articles and more.
We have archived our old clinical psychology, abnormal psychology, other psychology and neuroscience news. Check the archive section for older clinical psychology news articles.

Further Teenage Suicide In Bridgend
An 18-year-old bride-to-be has become the 14th young person to commit suicide in Bridgend and the surrounding area in the past year.
Friends said that Angeline Fuller, who described herself as a Goth, had a history of depression and had made two previous suicide attempts.
Paramedics were called to the flat that she shared with her boyfriend in Nantymoel, Bridgend, early on Monday morning. Her fiancé Joel Williams, 21, said that they had recently become engaged and she had “everything to live for”.
He had left her downstairs with friends while he went to bed. Later he went to look for her but found his bedroom door had been locked. By the time he managed to open it, she was dead, hanged from the bannister.
Ms Fuller moved to Bridgend from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, about 18 months ago after being introduced to Mr Williams by her friend Sarah Shaw. She worked as a shop assistant for the fashion chain Jaeger.
The cluster of suicides around Bridgend has alarmed police, health authorities, MPs and the South Wales Coroner. A task force has been set up to investigate the problem.
At least seven of the victims were known to each other. Some experts believe that the deaths may have been copycat suicides, triggered by tributes on social networking websites.
Police said yesterday that they did not believe that Ms Fuller was linked to any of the previous suicides. A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said: “There are no suspicious circumstances and an investigation is being carried out on behalf of the coroner. The death is not linked to other recent sudden deaths in the area.”
Mr Williams left a tribute to his “poor lost Angie” on his own MySpace web page. He said: “Just a note to let you all know that at 1am Monday morning, life took away from us one of the kindest, sweethearted loving people we could ever have been blessed to know. I love angie and i always will. I love you baby. xxx” Ms Fuller used the social networking websites Bebo and Facebook. On her Facebook profile page, she listed her interests as music, art, psychology, and “generally interesting things”. In the section “About Me”, she wrote: “i dont like myself, but hey who does? “i’m an angry drunk, i hate religion, i love my boyfreind and i had my hair cut short and dyed purple yesterday!”
Mrs Shaw, who had known Ms Fuller since she was aged 5, said last night: “We are shocked because they had just got engaged and the future was looking good. They could be very lovey-dovey at times but they had a very volatile relationship where they could argue violently with each other.
“She was working, looking after the house, and I think everything got on top of her.”
The latest death has shocked residents in an area that has become too used to tragedy.
Sam Naidu, a local shopkeeper, said: “Both of them were very excited at getting engaged. I was so delighted for them that I gave her a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates.
“She was a well-presented, well-spo-ken girl who popped in to get her groceries every week. I’m shocked that this has happened to her – she seemed so happy.”
The terraced house where Miss Fuller died was in darkness yesterday, with floral tributes left outside.
Ms Fuller’s parents, who are of Indian origin, travelled from the Midlands to identify her body at the University of Wales, Cardiff. An inquest is to be opened on Friday.
Ms Fuller’s death comes just days after the funeral of Natasha Randall, 17, who was found hanged last month. The other young people to have died are Dale Crole, 18, David Dilling, 19, Thomas Davies, 20, Zachery Barnes, 17, Gareth Morgan, 27, James Knight, 26, Jason Williams, 21, Andrew O’Neill, 19, Leigh Jenkins, 22, Liam Clarke, 20, Alan Price, 21 and Luke Goodridge, 20.
Madeleine Moon, the Bridgend Labour MP, has secured a Commons debate on suicide prevention, which will take place later this week. In a Commons written reply, Paul Murphy, the Welsh Secretary, said that the tragic deaths were of “great concern and distress” to him.
