Well done to @Zhaime on publication of this review on the effects of psychiatric drugs on social cognition (effects which likely confound findings of social cognition deficits in people with psychosis). Part of a project arising from the @RADARprogramme. link.springer.com/epdf/10.11…

My update on the Radar study available on the new Critical Psychiatry website "the fact that so many have welcomed the research..is a good sign that attitudes to long-term treatment may be changing" hopefully offering people more choice criticalpsychiatry.co.uk/new… @RADARprogramme

A really important and honest look at what we mean by 'mood stabilisers' and the science behind what these drugs might actually do (i.e. how they modify normal brain and mental functions)
What, exactly, are #moodstabilizers, and what are they prescribed for? The answer may not be as clear and straightforward as you think. #Bipolar #Mania #Depression #medications #lithium #Depakote #Lamictal ow.ly/2HlH50EEYdq

"Antipsychotics induce long-lasting changes to nerve cells in the brain and they need to be withdrawn very slowly (and in a particular way) to allow time for the brain to reset."

Withdrawing from antipsychotics may require months or even years, as patients need to gradually reduce to very low doses, proposes a team led by Dr @markhoro @UCLPsychiatry with @KingsIoPPN colleagues, seeking to make up for a lack of clinical guidance metro.co.uk/2021/03/23/new-p…
