Love this @TheBJPsych editorial from @rob_mccutcheon @sameerjauhar @tobypill

#Dopamine synthesis capacity is reduced in psychosis with #depression compared to mixed/mania syndromes, while positive psychotic symptoms correlate with higher dopamine synthesis in the associative striatum. ja.ma/3HzCyZh @_ecologos
Wise words

Does Mother Nature Read the DSM? Findings from our new paper in @JAMAPsych jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Take home? The DA system appears affected in affective psychoses, particularly limbic striatum. And positive symptoms related to DSC irresspective of diagnosis. Symptoms, not diagnoses are related to DA here, though area of DA dysregulation in mood is (understandably) different.

Most viewed this week from @JAMAPsych:
Systematic review and meta-analysis: Stopping antidepressants leads to slight symptom increases compared to placebo, but these symptoms are not clinically significant and do not include mood changes.

Dull and Hill would probably disagree with you, and their work was quite impressive. If the response to survey is less than 20%, it is very difficult to infer causality. I do not think that is
Contentious.
The authors found no relationship between duration of prior antidepressant treatment, as stated quite long, and discontinuation symptoms. drugs stopped abruptly. you suggested we missed this, we did not. You like the study, the findings disagree with your premise. Shanti.
In case Dr Jauhar is unsure - there are good estimates of this from the Rosenbaum study (11 months exposure) : 66% for paroxetine and 60% for sertraline. (not a good study to look at fluoxetine) biologicalpsychiatryjournal.…
I do not think this gentleman has read the paper, as there are a few studies that were longer than eight weeks included in the paper. Shanti.

Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms may be less common than previously thought, a 'gold standard' data review has found.
@ImperialBrains, @KingsCollegeLon and @UCL researchers reviewed 50 studies with more than 17,000 participants 🔽

Fairpoint. Though please see this paper, cited in our review. You may know the author. He used this cut off.
He just retweeted this, @markhoro
