Today I was lucky enough to be one of the early recipients of the #Pfizer #CovidVaccine. Probably the most important public health campaign of my lifetime. Update: arm's a little sore, but mostly feeling a sense of relief and hope. If and when you are able, please #GetTheShot!

This is a really useful way of conceptualising mental health and illness as a bidimensional spectrum. Great work from BC Schizophrenia Society and BCSS Youth

Fascinating evidence supporting a link between psychopathology and accelerated aging across multiple domains, from a long-term birth cohort study in NZ. Yes, psychiatric illness can and does have biological effects! ja.ma/37m8ydW JAMA Psychiatry

Check out the latest from our lab in collaboration with Randall White, in which we report a useful clinical approach to fluvoxamine augmentation of clozapine in treatment-resistant #psychosis. Thanks to Dr. Julie Leising of UBC Department of Psychiatry for leading this work!

Very proud to have published this analysis of bifrontal #ECT in persons with #Parkinsons and #depression in my first senior authorship role, now available from Journals of The American Psychiatric Association. Thanks to NINET Lab and our collaborator Silke Cresswell for their support! neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/ap…

BC is moving forward on vaccine bookings this weekend.

Agreed. BC, it's time to move forward with our fellow provinces on this. #bcpoli #COVID19

NEW - BC is working on similar legislation to Quebec that would ban protests blocking schools and hospitals. #bcpoli

NEW - British Columbia will introduce legislation later this session to create bubble zones around schools and hospitals to stop protests. The province was considering regulation. #bcpoli

Still stigmatized #ECT is now a brief treatment under anaesthesia, a safe medical procedure. And life-saving, reducing #suicide by 50 per cent in 1st year post hospitalization for #depression. Study in @TheLancetPsych led by @camhnews ICES team. thelancet.com/journals/lanps…

That person is Trudeau, who could call off the filibusters and answer simple questions about what the Liberals knew about Beijing election meddling and when, but I suppose that’s a matter of perspective
