@markhoro @HengartnerMP @joannamoncrieff Very much enjoyed stumbling across the article in The Times this morning! Congrats guys

Very relevant to many psychiatric / MH interventions... "6/ Mindfulness is not a panacea, or an ‘off the shelf’ product that can help teenagers and their teachers to become ‘more resilient’, without appreciating other impacting factors such as the school environment."

[Dr Dan O'Hare @edpsydan]

1/ A set of studies published today in the @rcpsych and @BPSOfficial journal, Evidence-based mental health, has provided evidence that mindfulness sessions do not improve student's mental health in the long run

Great to catch up with @MindfulRussell and chat about his pitch for @rcpsych President - putting relational psychiatry at the heart of the college #relationalpsychiatry #opendialogue #RCPsychIC22

NICE has given its opinion for the 3rd time that esketamine (Spravato) should not be used in the NHS for depression for any group of patients https://t.co/ZiwYArIeh5. Some of its reasons are worth outlining because they relate to many psych drugs 1/n

@markhoro @PloederlM @HengartnerMP @joannamoncrieff Excellent work @markhoro - and thanks for making it easy to digest!

[Mark Horowitz @markhoro.bsky.social @markhoro]

We were asked to write about balance of harms and benefits of antidepressants based on current knowledge for @DTB_BMJ, a BMJ journal that is famously independent and does not take pharma sponsorship/advertising https://t.co/QCg7Bo1F40 1/n

We wrote a rapid response regarding the ANTLER trial outlining the evidence that withdrawal effects might have been responsible for inflating the relapse rate in the discontinuation group: https://t.co/0wI3KWTAlv @joannamoncrieff @BethLParkin

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

The nation's poor mental health is predominantly a social issue. Let's not worsen population distress by invoking 'more-psychiatric-treatment' tropes to suggest otherwise. We need to re-politicise distress in the minds of policy-makers misled by years of myopic medicalisation.

[Mark Horowitz @markhoro.bsky.social @markhoro]

The media articles leaping to the conclusion that this study shows that people should be on these drugs long-term are very misleading to the public and are going to contribute to the ongoing and unnecessary use of these medications. (18/18)

[Mark Horowitz @markhoro.bsky.social @markhoro]

Startling lack of interest in confounding by withdrawal symptoms in this antidepressant discontinuation study in NEJM: https://t.co/u57Ijrq7hI Withdrawal symptoms in this discontinued group render this study uninterpretable. (1/n)

@maotweets @LPFTNHS Congratulations! Great to have you! Please do DM me and I'd be happy to give you some info about the area and working in the Trust 😊

[Dr Joanna Moncrieff @joannamoncrieff]

This paper is so useful for all the patients who want to try and reduce or get off antipsychotic meds and for the psychiatrists who are unsure how best to help them

[Toby Greenall @toby_greenall]

Lots to consider around a vision for our region and how to create world class psychiatry training programmes #ChoosePsychiatry
