Proud to support @AWPNHS alongside my incredible friend and fellow psychiatrist @frankieanderzon representing @MaudsleyNHS as part of the @ITV #GetBritainTalking campaign.

It's so important we reach out to each other and show togetherness whilst we all physically apart.

[ITV @ITV]

A clap from our carers.

We’ve never needed each other more.

Not to give too much away but the bad guy in #FantasticFour is an exhausted being with an eternal insatiable appetite and I've never related to anything more

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

In my (short) career so far, I've seen few psychotropics as broadly effective as Li in managing certain SMI. Always a hard move stopping due to long term SFX; surprised to hear it's still massively underused however 🧠

Enlightening conference on Women's Mental Health by @AWPNHS MedEd, incredible how long into my training and career it's taken to hear in depth talks on the significant role hormones have to play in psychiatry (of all ages and genders) 🧠 thanks to all the great speakers #awpmeded

5. The mauds prescribing guideline has lots of helpful specifics stopping meds 📚

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

Watching back a really helpful talk from @markhoro presented to @AWPNHS today on psychotropic DEprescibing, my take-homes: 🧵

4. Tapering should be non-linear down to teeny doses, much smaller than smallest tablets...

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

3. Tapering should be muuuuuch slower than we expect (e.g. over months even if only taken for weeks)...

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

2. Withdrawal effects common and often confused for relapse...

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

1. Limited evidence for protracted use of antidepressants purely with aim to reduce risk of relapse...

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

@interrobangart I assume you plucked this from the bottom of the ocean

@EmilyJBashforth Feathers McGraw? I only see a chicken

Dear @richardosman, am afraid I will have to stop reading as I am too scared about what might happen to Bonnie Gregor, but at the same time, I really can't stop as need to find out if she'll be ok. I'd appreciate some advance assurance that all will be well. BW #savebonniegregor

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

@interrobangart I can't wait for this to come round again when we're 80

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

Conservative speakers already using KB's election of "proof" that the party has no racist values. @Femi_Sorry on @BBCRadio2 comparing this to the "I have black friends, so" argument is spot on.
Her skin colour should not be used as a sheild to disguise her clearly spoken values.

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

[Dr Annabel @SoSowemimo]

If you can only shatter a glass ceiling by piling those underneath up and stepping on them to get there. Then that’s no progress at all I’m afraid.

[Dr. Orima KS @orima_ks]

@UKLabour needs to keep sharp and get its act together on all fronts, she may be unelectable where it matters (i.e. in 4 years) but KB's new position and what she thinks it stands for could bring our entire country and its values to its knees.

[Dr Annabel @SoSowemimo]

Kemi Badenoch is now the first Black woman to lead a party, she also has espoused that systemic racism does not exist. Meanwhile Labour threw its Black voters under the bus at the last election. The liberal Labour Party is completely ill prepared for this opposition.

During my recent spell in a mental health clinic I had a great psychiatrist  - I will thank him forever.

Which is why I'm supporting the @RCPsych campaign to encourage doctors to continue to choose psychiatry as a career.

@interrobangart You've lost too much weight hun ☹️

Today, a wonderful patient gave me some freshly laid eggs and showed me a day old baby cow on their farm 🐮🤍 #choosepsychiatry #oldagepsychiatry
