from This Is Your Brain On Drugs Psychiatry Podcast

I'm finally putting out part 1 of my November updates episode. I recorded it a while back but its hard to put out 2 episodes in a week! Today I'll be discussing several topics. New information for you and me on mechanisms of action of vortioxetine, great new data on pramipexole for depression, a new drug on the horizon for schizophrenia? Dangers of Tramadol by itself and in combination with antidepressants, Doxycycline may decrease risk of developing schizophrenia, potential mental health consequences of use of finasteride, the hair loss and enlarged prostate medication, and finally a case series of guanfacine used for catatonia in lieu of ECT availability. Lots of good stuff today. Enjoy!
