Sinopsis

In July Australian Psychiatry Review debuts a monthly focus section associated with an online quiz. The quiz can be found at http://australianpsychiatryreview.com/podcasts/DSM5.html. Other highlights include research linking the mysterious process of tardive dyskinesia to reduced grey matter in the basal ganglia and thalamus, evidence that prodromal psychosis is associated with increased capacity for dopamine synthesis in the striatum, and support for an old theory of schizophrenia involving prefrontal cortical hypofunction disinhibiting subcortical dopamine release. Schizophrenia Bulletin includes a themed special on insights for schizophrenia from major depressive disorder with psychosis, while a review in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry suggests that most medical reasons for stopping clozapine are unjustified.
