Selecting a psychiatric medication is complicated. When I prescribe, I make decisions based on my clinical experience, training, and the latest evidence and research, while also considering whether a medication will be effective, tolerable, accessible and affordable, in the context of treatments patients have tried before. Unfortunately, not all plans cover all medications. https://ow.ly/fxNH50SxtWM Your physician and pharmacist can help you with the most effective treatment path for you, given your circumstances. #MedicationAccess #MentalHealthcare

Bipolar UK highlights some important and worrying data about the diagnostic delay of Bipolar Disorder. In a recent talk they gave at the The Royal College of Psychiatrists they have shown that the average time to diagnosis of BD in the UK is 9.5 years, with Bipolar II taking even longer to diagnose than Bipolar I (an average of 11 and 8 years respectively). The clear difference in symptom reporting between genders does not affect this delay. This data echoes the results of a survey conducted last year in France by Bipolarité France that shows a similar delay in France and further highlight the importance of a validated tool to diagnose bipolarity earlier. Our innovative test, myEDIT-B, is the 1st CE marked and clinically validated biological test in mental health, to help make an early differential diagnosis of unipolar depression and bipolar disorder. h/t Simon Kitchen #mentalhealth #ivd #bipolardisorder #precisionpsychiatry

For many years, the “cocoon therapy” approach (i.e., avoidance of physical and cognitive activities) was universally given as safe advice for healing after a head injury. However, as the harm that prolonged inactivity has on physical and mental health became more evident, medical experts started to re-evaluate this one-size-fits-all approach. Many studies suggest that long periods of rest can be detrimental to healing and delay concussion recovery for patients.And a growing body of evidence suggests that certain types of exercise may speed up recovery rather than worsen symptoms. This new thinking does not advocate for an immediate return to full-contact sport. Still, it does encourage a graduated, progressive increase in physical activity tailored to an individual’s head injury symptoms.
