Camilla Rosan talks about what's needed in perinatal mental health services, and tells us about the trial she just led on Circle of Security-Parenting (COS-P), a group int...
People living with dementia often have behavioural and psychiatric symptoms, such as agitation, and when these are severe, antipsychotics can be prescribed. Guidelines recommend prescribing antipsychotics at the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time, but does this really happen in practice? Juan Carlos Bazo Alvarez and Claudia Cooper's research team looked at primary care data from the UK, to assess prescribing practice, and found that prescriptions are higher and for long...

In this podcast, we discuss the randomised controlled trial of a large study into this VR therapy, and we hear from one of the participants in...

Their review on this topic will inform new WHO guidelines on the health of trans...
Which medications should be the first choice for prescribing for anxiety in older adults? Anxiety is common in older adults, but a lot of research on medication for anxiety is done in younger adults and doesn't take into account the different needs of and side-effects risks for older adults.

Great podcast. I only use magic mushrooms for medicinal purposes, to quickly relieve stress if I need it at some point in my life. I can also say that for example, to improve my mental health I prefer magic mushrooms https://www.shrooms-online.org/shop/magic-mushroom-capsules/, because only this product gives a slight euphoric effect and really helps to relax after a hard day's work.
Mental health issues can affect your emotions and thoughts. There are many options for treating them, including therapy and medication. Medication changes the chemicals within your mind that control emotions and thoughts. Therapy is more individual and concentrates on helping the patient cope with their problems.
