Great chance to talk about ways to connect and support each other. It’s ok to talk about how your feeling. Reaching out and just listening can be a powerful tool. Patricia Karvelas Patrick McGorry #RUOKDay2021

Congrats @JoRobinson_Aus and the #chatsafe team. So important to be able to have the difficult conversations, listen and connect. Should be a part of how we work with all young people and carers. Orygen #SuicidePrevention #chatsafe #Mentalhealth

A lot of great focus this week for #RUOKDay and #SuicidePreventionDay2021 but let’s keep up the connections and support every week. 'I'm not Ok': What to say when someone's struggling abc.net.au/radionational/…

This is such a shame given that there are few youth focussed mental health inpatient options and demand is at an all time high. Will only put more pressure on overloaded community teams. We need to keep up the advocacy! Orygen #Mentalhealth #youth

Seena Fazel This thread and the paper is essential reading on this controversy. Is it time to review the FDA and other warnings on SSRIs in young people?

Still a few places left for this online medico-legal masterclass for the #psychiatrist - learn defensible rather than defensive practice! If you can’t attend on the day, the recording is available for 6 months to registrants! bit.ly/PsychMastercla… #psychtwitter #cpd

Totally agree Patrick McGorry. Psychiatrists need to be careful not to focus on only one area of explanation. We are all products of our biology, relationships and experience, especially important in young people where a holistic approach is needed. Orygen

This is a well timed commentary. Lots of potential in interventions using psychedelic agents but how do we correctly interpret the evidence to make good treatment decisions in the climate of increasing public advocacy. Gillinder Bedi Shalini Arunogiri Patrick McGorry

It’s no surprise we’ve seen an increase in distress and mental health disorders given the suffering across the world. Australian data will be similar given huge increase in demand for services. Lockdown is ending but the mental health crisis continues #COVID19Vic #Mentalhealth

Interesting findings from @BrianNODonoghue’s research team. Increases in hospital care during pandemic for young people with psychosis may reflect stretched services, over-burdened cares and increased severity. Orygen #Mentalhealth #CovidVic

We are celebrating the end of lockdown and returning to normal life but this will be experienced differently by everyone. Don’t forget to be patient and accepting with ourselves and others! #Mentalhealth #COVID19Vic

Great new research from Sue Cotton and Orygen highlighting the importance of considering the impact and needs of those caring for a young person with BPD. NEABPD Aust BPD Foundation @projectairstrat #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #BPD #Mentalhealth

As Early Career Psychiatrists we stand with trainees who are rightly distressed. This will only exacerbate the shortage of psychiatrists and stress on the health system. Quick and effective action is needed RANZCP Vinay Lakra Patrick McGorry #MedTwitter
