Nobody is more stressed than a 25-32 yrs old thinking they are running out of time.
I recall an interview where a psychiatrist asked patients who had remitted on antipsychotics if they still "heard voices without the voices." This was described as being analogous to intense anxiety or panic. @DavidPuder, was this from your podcast by any chance? I cant it 🥲
I was reading this paper and was reminded of that conversation, specifically this part:

I noticed a lot of variation in how psychiatrists from different places transition from oral haloperidol to haloperidol decanoate.
This is one of the few injectable options we have in the public healthcare system in Brazil. Here its very common to simply maintain oral dosing1/
for 7 days after starting the patient on 20x the oral dose (so 10mg daily would be 200mg/monthly injections). This is pretty standard, although I'm aware the package insert suggests lower doses.
How is it done in other places? @JRBneuropsiq @tylerblack32 @dawso007 @sanilrege

Favorite science fiction books?
@erikphoel I know you would have interesting contributions.
Probably my favorite song for a long time now. Roland Orzabal was in the studio and started playing around with the two chord vamp you hear in the begining of the song, but didnt think much of it. The producer pressed him to write the song, first called..
