A new study published in Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice finds that psychologists and psychiatrists are the most unhelpful factor for service users attempting to withdraw from antipsychotics. In the current work, authored by John Read of the University of East London, participants cited lack of knowledge around withdrawal, refusal to support withdrawal, and threats/use of coercion as the main reasons they considered psychologists and psychiatrists unhelpful in their a

When I arrived at the Chicago premiere of the documentary Microphone Check , it was clear that the theater didn’t know how hot this film was going to be. The staff behind the concession stand was running around, filling popcorn buckets and pouring drinks. It was a couple of minutes past showtime, and apparently the film had already started—the customary 15 minutes of previews either wasn’t going to happen, or had begun before the start time.

Last week at Orgatec, many firms continued to repeat the claim that “sitting is the new smoking” in their marketing spiel. There’s something in this. The risks of a sedentary lifestyle include health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Standing desks have been seen as a way to reduce the time people spend sitting while at work as a fix for such health problems.

Leaders should focus on systems, not individuals, in the face of rising backlash to diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging (DEI&B) in the workplace. For Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2024, it’s important to lean into his true legacy: nonviolence and its power to change systems. That’s the advice from Janet M. Stovall , CDE , global head of DEI at the NeuroLeadership Institute, and former senior director of social impact at The UPS Foundation.

Then the youngest person ever on the council, he’d gone on to run for mayor last year.

They found that people taking prescription amphetamines (Adderall) were more than twice as likely to develop psychosis or mania; those on high doses were more than five times as likely. However, when the researchers included outpatients as well—essentially, those with less severe psychiatric problems—they found that those taking a high dose of amphetamines were more than 13 times as likely to develop psyc

The researchers write, “In 58 (78.4%) of the 74 cases, the DSM-5 diagnosis of current mental disorder was not confirmed when the DID-W1 was completed since patients’ symptoms corresponded to a diagnosis of current withdrawal syndr

I’m usually ultra-cautious about answering questions like this. I don’t consider myself an ‘expert’ and I don’t think there are any easy solutions to such a difficult and enduring problem. However, I’ve spent years criticising mainstream services, as well as problematising some of the alternatives proposed by critical professionals.

In 1994, Dr. Giovanni Fava posed a controversial question: could antidepressants be worsening the very conditions they were designed to treat? Thirty years later, his clinical insights into withdrawal symptomatology suggest the answer may be yes—and the implications are unsettling. The pharmaceutical industry has downplayed the risks of withdrawal symptoms following the discontinuation of antidepressant medications.

W hen I first decided to seek help from a doctor, I had no idea what I was getting myself into or how difficult it would later be to break free from the cocktail of medications. At the back of my mind, I believed antidepressants would stabilize my disturbed nervous system. At that time (and unfortunately still in Poland), psychiatry held the belief that people with personality disorders had a dysregulated hormonal balance, which, as a budding neuroscientist, made a lot of sense to me.
