Must Psilocybin Always “Assist Psychotherapy”?
Drugs such as psilocybin and many other serotonergic agents can produce a powerful psychedelic experience. It is now commonplace to hear the expression “psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy” or “psychedelic-assisted therapy” when their use in treating mental health conditions is described.

A leaky umbrella has little value: evidence clearly indicates the serotonin system is implicated in depression - Molecular Psychiatry
|
A recent “umbrella” review examined various biomarkers relating to the serotonin system, and concluded there was no consistent evidence implicating serotonin in the pathophysiology of depression.

Online responses to census exceed ONS targets | News

The census is dead, long live the census! | Opinion
Are the days of the traditional census coming to an end? Don't be surprised if not, says Guy Goodwin. The 21st of March, census day in England and Wales, has come and gone and most of us will have dutifully filled in our individual census forms. This may be the last census to be collected in this way, with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) taking a decision in 2023 on the future approach.

The clinical effectiveness of using a predictive algorithm to guide antidepressant treatment in primary care (PReDicT): an open-label, randomised controlled trial
Abstract Depressed patients often do not respond to the first antidepressant prescribed, resulting in sequential trials of different medications. Personalised medicine offers a means of reducing this delay; however, the clinical effectiveness of personalised approaches to antidepressant treatment has not previously been tested.

Anxiety co-morbidity is common. The management of BD usually requires long-term medical treatment and psycho-education is also key to management.
