Our World Psychiatry (IF=65.8) @WPA_Psychiatry Letter on a new cohort study led by @TTlucky25611 and myself @CSMPR_HKUPharm @HkuPharm @hkumed @HKUniversity showing a rare elevated risk of gynecologic cancers after prolactin-increasing antipsychotic use 🥂 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wp…

Our new meta-analysis published in World Psychiatry shows that depression is associated with 2-fold increased risk of mortality but the mortality risk was reduced among those treated with antidepressants. doi.org/10.1002/wps.21… @corinesmwong @lokaying @WPA_Psychiatry

💭 Why do people with depression die younger🥺and what can change that? Our new paper @kwunnamchan @corinesmwong @hkumed (World Psychiatry 24:3) shows just how big that gap is — and points toward treatment. #MentalHealth #Depression 🔗doi.org/10.1002/wps.21… @WPA_Psychiatry
