The risk of clozapine-induced agranulocytosis decreases steeply over time but might be persistently greater than that of non-clozapine antipsychotics. This long-term risk excess seems small in absolute terms compared with the known magnitude of the advantages of clozapine in relevant outcomes, including life expectancy. Given the widespread underuse of clozapine, relaxing the long-term neutrophil monitoring could favour the advantages of long-term clozapine use, including greater life expectancy, without incurring the intolerable risk of clozapine-induced agranulocytosis.

ImPuls is an efficacious transdiagnostic adjunctive treatment in outpatient mental health care. Our findings suggest that exercise therapy should be implemented in outpatient mental health care as an adjunctive transdiagnostic treatment for mental disorders such as depression, insomnia, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and PTSD. Transdiagnostic group exercise interventions might ameliorate the existing disparity in care provision between the many individuals in need of evidence-based treatment and the few who are receiving it.

Mashup Score: 9Staging 2·0: refining transdiagnostic clinical staging frameworks to enhance reliability and utility for youth mental health - 19 day(s) ago
Globally, 75% of depressive, bipolar, and psychotic disorders emerge by age 25 years. However, these disorders are often preceded by non-specific symptoms or attenuated clinical syndromes. Difficulties in determining optimal treatment interventions for these emerging mental disorders, and uncertainties about accounting for co-occurring psychopathology and illness trajectories, have led many youth mental health services to adopt transdiagnostic clinical staging frameworks. In this Health Policy paper, an international working group highlights ongoing challenges in applying transdiagnostic staging frameworks in clinical research and practice, and proposes refinements to the transdiagnostic model to enhance its reliability, consistent recording, and clinical utility.

Mashup Score: 53Soundless voices, silenced selves: are auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia truly perceptual? - 19 day(s) ago
In much contemporary psychiatric training and practice, there is a strong emphasis on the audible or perceptual quality and externality of auditory verbal hallucinations in clinical assessments. A typical question during clinical assessment is asking whether the voices that a person hears sound identical to the way the clinician’s voice is heard. In this Personal View, we argue that the most important factor in auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia spectrum psychoses is a loss of first-person authority, and that a perceptual quality is not required for it to be this kind of hallucination.

Mashup Score: 81Prevalence of multimorbidity in people with and without severe mental illness: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 20 day(s) ago
This is the first meta-analysis to estimate physical alongside psychiatric multimorbidity prevalence, showing that these are common in people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorder and bipolar disorder. The greater burden of physical multimorbidity in people with severe mental illness compared with those without is higher for younger cohorts, reflecting a need for earlier intervention. Our findings speak to the utility of multimorbidity for characterising the disease burden associated with severe mental illness, and the importance of facilitating integrated physical and mental health care.

Mashup Score: 2Judy Bass: a global outlook on mental health - 21 day(s) ago
It could be said that Judy Bass had a global outlook from an early age. She grew up in East Lansing, MI, USA, where her father was a physics professor. “Living in a university town, I had an early exposure to students from many different countries”, Bass tells The Lancet Psychiatry. Today, Bass’s role is truly international, as Director of the academic programme in Global Mental Health and Professor of Public Mental Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (Baltimore, MD, USA).

People with intellectual disability, autism, and mental disorders should be included in groups considered at a high-risk for heat exposure, and heat adaptation policies should be implemented with consideration of these groups and their needs.
