Presenting Our June 2026 Theme: Special Populations

Psychiatric Times features monthly themes that speak to various aspects of psychiatry and issues relevant to psychiatric clinicians. Our June 2026 theme focuses on special populations and the unique problems they face.

June is Pride Month. In honor of this celebration of identity and sexuality, we want to take a closer look at how best to help LGBTQ+ patients, as well as all patients from a minoritized group/identity.

How do social determinants of health impact a patient’s overall health outcomes? What challenges do you believe are most prevalent when treating a patient from a minoritized group/identity? What research in special populations are you most interested in? Do you have practice tips to offer your fellow mental health clinicians? Have you experienced a patient case that could help others learn?

If you have something you want to share, whether that's an article, case study example, or CME article, let us know! Write to us now at [email protected] to be featured in our May content series and potentially in a future Special Report/print issue.
