Amazing symposium at #BAP2025 on “Risk and resilience in early years and adolescents mental health” with talks from myself and Prof Vernon Prof McCrory, Prof van Harmelen 🤩 Highlighting importance of stratification, social architecture, friendship and biological mechanisms @bapsych.bsky.social

Thanks @valeriamondelli.bsky.social yes it was a great session and allowed us to discuss important #psychiatry treatments like #clozapine, #ECT, #valproate and #antipsychotics, and to hear also the voice of people with #livedexperience of #mentalhealth difficulties.

Fantastic clinical session with final panel discussion at #BAP2025 on “Myth-busting the (should not be) controversial treatments in psychiatry: A review of clinical evidence” chaired by @carminepariante.bsky.social #valproate #antipsychotic #clozapine #ECT #livedexperience @bapsych.bsky.social

Some few very important tips for parents of adolescents to reduce possible problematic usage of internet in the lecture by Prof Potenza at #BAP2025 citing some of help resources developed by Prof Fineberg and colleagues @bapsych.bsky.social

Today at #BAP2025 we heard from both lived-experience and pharmacology experts that clozapine,“Britain’s most dangerous drug” is lifesaving for people with treatment-resistance— with current thresholds for discontinuation racially unequal (some people have naturally lower but safe neutrophil levels)

Great Guest Lecture with Prof Marc Potenza at #BAP2025 on “Problematic usage of the internet” Very important topic in particular for adolescent mental health @bapsych.bsky.social

Finally, the amazing Professor Camilla Nord presents on interoception - including some cool lived experience work on body sensations, and work on disgust and gastric rhythms, alongside work on energy conservation. #BAP2025

Dr Max Taquet, winner of the junior clinical award, presents on the use of electronic health records for drug repurposing, biomarker development and relapse prediction - including some really cool findings on symptom instability #BAP2025

My fab colleague Professor(!) Cairney @sacairney.bsky.social won the the Senior Translational Award #BAP2025 for his work on sleep deprivation and mental health - good thing these talks are now and not post the conference dinner.

Next up is Dr Paris Lalousis, presenting really cool AI work that netted him the junior translational award. To me the emerging clusters maybe speak to immune vs non-immune symptoms? #BAP2025

It’s #BAP2025 time! Kicking us off is Dr Megan Jackson, the winner of the junior non-clinical award talking about animal models of apathy and motivation. Key quote: ‘as scientists, we love a tight error bar’. @bapsych.bsky.social

Great slide highlighting some findings presented yesterday by @carminepariante.bsky.social on sex differences in associations between IL-6 and CRP and how IL-6 relates to treatment response in a sample of individuals with treatment-resistant depression.
