Mashup Score: 0Non-fatal suicide behaviours across phases in the COVID-19 pandemic: a population-based study in a Catalan cohort - 21 day(s) ago
This study provides a comprehensive examination of non-fatal suicide behaviours in Catalonia, Spain, emphasising the dynamics of different COVID-19 pandemic phases. The initial reduction during strict lockdown aligns with Joiner’s Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, whereas the post-confinement rise reflects complex factors, including social isolation and economic challenges. Sex-specific and age-specific analyses underscore distinct vulnerabilities, emphasising the need for targeted preventive strategies.

Mashup Score: 4
In April, 2023, The Lancet Psychiatry published an Article by Damian Santomauro and colleagues showing that only 12·5% of the global burden of anxiety disorders is alleviated by routine health care, whereas 71·1% of global burden could be averted if all people with anxiety disorders had access to optimal treatment. Their approach was technical but the message is clear: successful treatments are available, the key challenge is how to make existing treatments available and acceptable to all those in need.

Mashup Score: 9Pharmacological treatments for psychotic depression: a systematic review and network meta-analysis - 22 day(s) ago
According to the available evidence, the combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a second-generation antipsychotic—and particularly of fluoxetine and olanzapine—could be the optimal treatment choice for psychotic depression. These findings should be taken into account in the development of clinical practice guidelines. However, these conclusions should be interpreted cautiously in view of the low number of included studies and the limitations of these studies.

Mashup Score: 43The Lancet Psychiatry Commission: transforming mental health implementation research - 1 month(s) ago
Effective mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment approaches exist but are not widely delivered at-scale to large groups or populations. Most people who could benefit from evidence-based mental health interventions—defined broadly to encompass policies, programmes, and individual-level practices or services—do not receive them. This implementation gap is sometimes termed a know–do gap1—we know what mental health interventions can work, but we often do not know how to do those interventions in real-world settings.

Mashup Score: 16
The opioid crisis is an international public health concern. Treatments for opioid use disorder centre largely on the management of opioid withdrawal, an aversive collection of signs and symptoms that contribute to opioid use disorder. Whereas in the past 50 years more than 90 medications have been developed for depression, only five medications have been developed for opioid use disorder during this period. We posit that underinvestment has occurred in part due to an underdeveloped understanding of opioid withdrawal syndrome.

Mashup Score: 1Leanne Williams: fighting stigma through imaging - 2 month(s) ago
Leanne Williams’ grandfather helped build Australia. He worked on the railways, laying tracks across the vast, mostly unsettled land mass. There is more than a touch of the pioneer to his granddaughter. Leanne Williams is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Director of the Center for Precision Mental Health and Wellness at Stanford University School of Medicine (CA, USA). Her trailblazing has been of a different kind—not as much dust, but the territory can be hostile.
