“We are not claiming that we are trying to fix some medical causes behind these syndroms but we are making a practical and pragmatic claim about being able to help with certain medical interventions in order to alleviate suffering”.

“When we encounter states of suffering… and they are amenable to be described in medical clinical terms and we have clinical ways of helping some people with that then that becomes bona fide medical condition. The practical approach is helping with available tools”.

By shifting emotional processing, we mean not attributing negative value to neutral stimuli like in depression. Neuroplasticity improves when BDNF does. In addition, Serotonine is also linked to less neuroticism and impulsive behaviors.

Anti-depressants work by shifting emotional processing, improving neuro plasticity and reducing neurotic features. Serotonine as a NT is the cornerstone of these processes. The reductionist theory of “correcting a chemical imbalance” by SSRIs has not a scientific base.

It was a pleasure to have a conversation with @DavidPuder as a guest on his top-rated Psychiatry & Psychotherapy Podcast. Ep 235: The Serotonin Hypothesis: Controversies and Nuance with Awais Aftab, MD (Thanks to @NTFabiano for connecting us!) psychiatrypodcast.com/psychiatry-psy…

“ If you start lithium early in the course of bipolar your patient has a chance of staying well longer, living longer, and – at a biological level, you might undo some of the mechanisms that cause bipolar disorder and prevent some of the neurodegeneration that worsens its course”
Chris Aiken, MD@chrisaikenmd

New guidelines recommend starting with lithium in new onset bipolar disorder. Find out why in the @CarlatPsych Podcast: thecarlatreport.com/blogs/2-the-ca…

In conclusion, Dr.Phelps says : “With the spectrum approach, the diagnostic question changes from “could this depression be bipolar?” to “how bipolar is it?”. If bipolarity is suspected , we should avoid AD (Partial or no response and may cause mixed features/rapid cycling). (7)

The 2ndG antipsychotic induced metabolic syndrome in mood disorders should not be neglected especially with the overprescription of antipsychotics in this category of patients. Antidepressants can also cause weight gain, sexual SE and in certain cases severe withdrawal signs. (6)

We had a patient who came for psychotic symptoms. Was labelled psychotic, started on antipsychotics, his state got worse and he became catatonic. After days of meticulous history taking, we discovered cognitive deficits at the beginning of his suffering, epileptic seizures (1).

@kristinaEBP The most important is that our patient did not lose his life, he knows what helped him. Your comments here are useless :)

@kristinaEBP Step 1: Find the true diagnosis in a record time. Step 2: Plasmapheresis and corticosteroids. Step 3: The patient who was suffering from the ENCEPHALITIS and not medications, gets better and his life is saved. :)

@MouradMarc Step 1: misdiagnose Step 2: medicate Step 3: patient suffers severe adverse effects of your incompetence Step 4: ‘fix’ error and finally properly diagnose (allegedly) And this is meant to be a success story 👀
