Australian Psychiatry Review

In December Australian Psychiatry Review includes a focus section on early intervention in psychosis. Other highlights of the psychiatric literature this month include a collection of articles on the role of inflammation and autoimmune antibodies in psychiatric illness in the ANZJP; a review of cognitive processes underlying delusions in the British Journal of Psychiatry; a study showing that group cognitive behavioural therapy can prevent later development of depression in currently non-depressed children of parents with depression in JAMA Psychiatry; and 6 articles on UK patterns of sexual behaviour and health in the Lancet. Finally, the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry has a useful clinical practice article summarising evidence on the risks and benefits of switching antipsychotics in patients who are clinically stable but experiencing side effects. Links to all articles discussed in the podcast can be found in the podcast transcript.
