Biomarkers Could Redefine Mental Health Diagnoses, APA Says

The American Psychiatric Association is exploring adding biological biomarkers to future DSM criteria to improve diagnosis and tailor treatments, a move that could streamline care and insurance decisions but is not yet ready for routine clinical use. The article notes potential biomarkers like inflammatory markers (e.g., C-reactive protein) that may predict antidepressant response, while stressing the need for coordinated, well-funded research, concerns about costs and privacy, and the risk of disparities in access. Experts say this signals the start of a possible shift in psychiatry, though substantial validation and policy work remain before widespread adoption.

Judge leaves door open for future challenge to Trump White House ballroom, won’t halt now

A federal judge refused to grant a preliminary injunction to stop Trump’s plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom atop the White House East Wing site, saying the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s claim under the Administrative Procedure Act isn’t currently actionable. He signaled opponents could amend their suit to pursue an ultra vires argument, potentially delaying the project if pursued. The White House Office of the Executive Residence runs the privately funded $400 million project; the East Wing was demolished starting last year, with underground work expected this month and above-ground work possibly beginning in April. Trump celebrated the ruling on Truth Social, but the legal battle may continue with reframed claims.

APA mulls renaming DSM and broadening how mental disorders are diagnosed

The American Psychiatric Association unveiled plans to radically rethink the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, potentially renaming it and adding layers that reflect a person’s life context, biology, and lived experience to make diagnoses more inclusive, dynamic, and educational. The approach could introduce contextual factors alongside traditional symptoms and allow for future biomarkers, but there is no set timeline yet and insurers are involved in discussions.

APA's acquisition will increase its U.S. production from 53% to approximately 67%, while reducing its overseas production. The deal, which includes the retirement and replacement of Callon's debt, highlights APA's strategic response to geopolitical uncertainties and the potential for supply disruptions in the oil market.

The Impact of the US Writers' Strike on Hollywood and Beyond

APA has laid off a number of assistants, primarily in the lit department, due to the ongoing writers strike. Junior agents have been asked to share assistants. This comes after Verve, another talent agency, laid off most of its assistants last month. APA and Verve are also the two known agencies that have implemented temporary salary reductions for top agents and executives. The pandemic and strike-related layoffs are expected to cause a shortage of experienced Hollywood assistants when the strike is over.
