In Memoriam
Donald F. Klein, MD, DSc
 Last week the world lost a dominant figure in the psychiatric field and a longtime ADAA friend. Donald F. Klein, MD (1928-2019) revolutionized psychiatric thinking through his discovery in the early 1960s that imipramine, a recently developed psychotropic medication, was effective in blocking panic attacks. Dr. Klein’s early contribution to the development of the DSM in large part gave birth to the modern branch of medical science dealing with the classification of disease of anxiety disorders. His early findings also heralded in the era of childhood anxiety disorders as biochemical disorders when he discovered that imipramine blocked childhood separation anxiety disorders.
In later years, Dr. Klein developed a compelling evolutionary-based hypothesis accounting for the etiology of panic disorders, which he terms “the false suffocation alarm theory of panic disorders.” His work remains relevant and topical to the present. Dr. Klein was an active member, mentor, supporter and champion of ADAA’s work and mission. He was the recipient of the 2005 ADAA Lifetime Achievement Award and his work and accomplishments live on in the Donald F. Klein Early Investigator Award, which is presented at ADAA’s annual conference to an early career investigator for the best original research paper on neurobiology, psychopharmacology, psychosocial treatments, or experimental psychopathology of anxiety disorders and depression.
ADAA member Philip R. Muskin, MD, MA, DLFAPA, Professor of Psychiatry and Senior Consultant, Columbia University shares this personal tribute.
“Last week Dr. Donald Klein passed away. He was just shy of his 91st birthday. I write this in memoriam of a mentor to whom I am forever grateful. Don is known for many core accomplishments as a researcher. He coined the term panic disorder and pioneered the use of tricyclic antidepressants in the treatment of the disorder. He and colleagues explored concepts of what caused panic disorder. This was most certainly not his only accomplishment as a master psychopharmacologist and researcher; there are many more.
I met Don as a PGY-3 resident at the NYS Psychiatric Institute. He was the lead of the “Quitkin, Rifkin, and Klein” group of psychiatric researchers brought to the institution by Edward Sachar. Sadly, that entire esteemed group has passed on. Don was working on panic disorder, using sodium lactate and then CO2 to induce panic attacks in subjects. He, Abby Fyer, and I submitted a protocol to use desipramine to treat panic disorder. Abby and I were the psychotherapists for the patient, doing psychotherapy plus psychopharmacology in an open label study. Don supervised us. Supervision with Don was an amazing experience. He had file cabinets filled with patient records that he would consult when we talked about various patients. It truly seemed that no patient presentation we would discuss was not a patient presentation he had not seen before. His supervision was always broad, and for someone who was alleged to be “anti-psychoanalytic” publicly, that was certainly not the case during supervision.
Let me detail two personal interactions I had with Don that I hope will reveal what it was like to know him and work with him. After the research was complete, Abby and I wrote it up to submit a paper. Each version was sent to Don for editing. The paper would come back filled with red ink. Each time he would say, “Put it in a drawer for a week or so. Take it out and read it as if it was written by someone else.” After many revisions we sent him the manuscript we were ready to submit, with the names Muskin, Fyer, and Klein as authors. He sent it back with a note (in red): “Why is my name on the paper? I didn’t do the study.” Amazingly, the paper was accepted without revisions. Don kindly said to me, “Enjoy this, as it will never happen again.” How true was that advice!
The second was a teaching session with the residents at NYS Psychiatric Institute. Don and I were teaching about depression, using Mourning and Melancholia to discuss depression. I was a fellow and a psychoanalytic candidate, so it made some sense that I was part of the team. For someone “anti-psychoanalytic,” it was clear Don had studied Freud carefully. We each had our volume of the Collected Works with us. Mine was pristine, the pale blue book jacket intact, the pages with a bit of wear from reading, but otherwise clean. Don’s book had a torn book jacket; the pages were filled with notes over every open space. There were arrows pointing from one note to the next. This was a volume that had been read, re-read, thought about, and thought about again. Don offered no critique of Freud absent that he felt the patients discussed had psychotic depression. He did not disagree; it was his diagnostic observation.
There was never a time, even after I left Don’s research group, that he did not take a call from me for clinical supervision. We chatted often, including when he referred patients to me. When he would tell me about an extremely psychotic patient he wanted me to see and I would discuss which antipsychotic to start with, he would always remind me, “You have to talk to the patient first, Phil.”
That is the Don Klein I will always remember. The personal Don, someone who changed the way we think about and treat patients.”

As the tragic news of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, dominates the news cycle, Americans confront a rising sense of unease. Sources of the anxiety include issues like white supremacy, gun control, terrorism and the way our society views mental illness.
But there’s also a personal mental health component. A recent BuzzFeed report described a “new kind of anxiety and fear” in our era ― a feeling that wherever you go, you might be making yourself unsafe and vulnerable to a mass attack. This is a natural response to highly publicized traumatic events.

Last year, the American Psychological Association published an analysis of more than 200 studies focusing on some 90,000 adolescents. It found that Latino youth have higher levels of depression than their white and African American peers in response to discrimination. The researchers linked it to being viewed as perpetual foreigners. For Latino youths in the U.S., the El Paso shooting is just the latest trauma.

Like clockwork, mental illness has become the focal point for blame following America’s 255th mass shooting this year.
“Mental illness and hatred pulled the trigger, not the gun,” President Donald Trump said in a televised statement after two mass shootings took the lives of at least 30 over the weekend of Aug. 3. But people with mental illnesses are 10 times more likely to be victims of violent crimes, and only three percent to five percent of violent crimes can be linked to mental illnesses, according to national statistics.

The lifetime prevalence of a substance use disorder hovers around 20 percent in the general population. The lifetime prevalence of chronic pain is about the same.
Rates of both are much higher, however, in the psychiatric patient population.
“The overlap of these two disorders with other major psychiatric disorders such as depression, psychosis (schizophrenia), and post-traumatic stress disorder is substantial,” said Thomas R. Kosten, MD, professor of psychiatry, pharmacology, and neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. “Eighty percent of patients with schizophrenia and 35 percent of patients with major depression smoke. For alcohol and marijuana, the rates are also high, with about 20 to 30 percent of patients with major psychiatric disorders also having these SUDs.”
“Thus, having either a SUD or chronic pain—and often, both—occurs in about half of patients with major psychiatric disorders.”

June Tangney of George Mason University has studied shame for decades. In numerous collaborations with Ronda L. Dearing of the University of Houston and others, she has found that people who have a propensity for feeling shame—a trait termed shame-proneness—often have low self-esteem (which means, conversely, that a certain degree of self-esteem may protect us from excessive feelings of shame). Tangney and Dearing are among the investigators who have found that shame-proneness can also increase one’s risk for other psychological problems. The link with depression is particularly strong; for instance, one large-scale meta-analysis in which researchers examined 108 studies involving more than 22,000 subjects showed a clear connection.

Depression affects 300 million people across the globe and is the leading cause of disability worldwide according to the World Health Organization. It costs the global economy $1 trillion every year, but fewer than half of those affected receive any treatment.
So Denmark is trying a different approach: People suffering from depression are encouraged to take part in cultural activities. They call it Kulturvitaminer – “culture vitamins” – and it is being trialled in four cities.

New research suggests that babies born during autumn and winter are at increased risk of developing mental health disorders, as mothers giving birth during these seasons have higher levels of the stress-related hormone cortisol.
The study, which is the first to report results on the effects of the seasons on maternal salivary cortisol levels in late pregnancy, investigated the links between seasonality and the risk of children developing anxiety or depression in later life.
