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. https://t.co/Tq1vETSeco

[Dr Joanna Moncrieff @joannamoncrieff]

Just published: paper on why survival analysis is misleading in trials of long-term drug treatment of psychiatric conditions because it obscures the withdrawal effect @PGtzsche1 @ReadReadj @markhoro @HengartnerMP https://t.co/ubsARv2Efn

[Sonia Johnson @soniajohnson]

Valuable review of what's currently known about what helps with social and occupational recovery in early psychosis

[Dr Joanna Moncrieff @joannamoncrieff]

Well done Lisa @LGruenwald3 on publication of realist review highlighting limitations of antipsychotic reviews in primary care - a concern due to increasing pressure to discharge mental health service users https://t.co/xpuNkUG3nU @RADARprogramme @UCLPsychiatry

@joannamoncrieff @RobFreudenthal @ODDESSI_UCL @NELFTResearch The authors found that MH staff were highly motivated to support their frontline colleagues and found it rewarding, however they experienced anxiety and uncertainty around their role, overwork and overlooked their own MH. Concl: urgent need to consider needs of MH staff

[Robert Freudenthal @RobFreudenthal]

Paper co-written with @RADARprogramme colleagues shows that it is possible to carry out RCTs in people with schizophrenia which are representative, with regards to illness severity, of the broader population of people with schizophrenia

Still spaces to come along to panel discussion tomorrow about patients' experiences of the difference between relapse and withdrawal when stopping antipsychotics. @MrJonnyBenjamin @RADARprogramme @sandrasagary @joannamoncrieff

Our recent study shows that people who signed up for the Radar trial are similar to other patients with the same diagnoses with evidence of similar severity https://t.co/iVQvlAxpn6 @RADARprogramme @markhoro @ReadReadj
