@georgia_5000817 @headroom50008 Agreed. Clinicians may also interpret information differently,affecting what is communicated during handover

@udani50008 @headroom50008 Agreed, it very hard for families to witness. Psychoeducation is important for both consumers and their families.

@gunsgermsnursin @headroom50008 After recovering insight a Pt referred to the delusion as 'when I was sick'.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@qqrice50008 @headroom50008 True, and also interesting to compare to cases that have developed without any known link to a familial Hx.

@DR5000817 @headroom50008 https://t.co/yLgHNLtrwD Research is looking at the non-psychoactive properties of cannabis oil in schizophrenia.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@DR5000817 @headroom50008 https://t.co/gYCF4RKLxB True, but currently it is only approved for epilepsy in VIC, and is non-psychoactive.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@DR5000817 @headroom50008 https://t.co/8yDpVvLLgV The psychoactive components of marijuana are removed from pharmaceutical cannabis.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@DR5000817 @headroom50008 https://t.co/sFJHXrFA1d There seems to be a lot of new research looking at 'alternate' treatments for PTSD.

@Lisa5000817 @headroom50008 Interesting to see the wide range of high risk patients e.g. cancer patients due to increased metabolic demands.

@Tanya_5000817 @headroom50008 Better Access to Mental Health Care; With GP referral, 10 free counselling sessions are available in Aus.

@headroom50008 I think the problem with this use of this word in this context means that it becomes attached to negativity.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@headroom50008 Not politically correct, but describing America’s contradictory racial dynamics as 'schizophrenic' is attention-grabbing.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@Sam5000817 @headroom50008 https://t.co/EFM5TUysrS Gives some insight into criminal responsibility.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@Sam5000817 @headroom50008 Personality disorders & crime; Are people solely responsible for their choices? It's a contentious issue!

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@Constanc5000817 @headroom50008 May also be important in maintaining awareness / reducing stigma to stop MH being an 'invisible illness'.

[Carol50008 @Carol50008]

@NR5000817 @headroom50008 I agree, it also highlights the importance of seeking understanding. ‘Kindness doesn’t cost anything’ (unknown).
