Risk of relapse during tapering of antipsychotic medication after a first psychotic episode: association with D2 receptor affinity but not with tapering speed. World Psychiatry (IF 60.5) Pub Date : 2025-06-01 Shiral S Gangadin,Franciska de Beer,Ben Wijnen,Marieke Begemann,Nico van Beveren,Nynke Boonstra,Lieuwe de Haan,Martijn Kikkert,Sanne Koops,Jim van Os,Wim Veling,Sybren Wiersma,,Iris E C Sommer
While antipsychotic maintenance treatment effectively prevents relapse after a first psychotic episode, many remitted antipsychotic users wish to reduce or discontinue their medication, due to side effects, long-term health concerns, stigma, or the desire to regain autonomy.

Effectiveness of clozapine augmentation with specific doses of other antipsychotics in schizophrenia: a meta‐analysis from two nationwide cohorts World Psychiatry (IF 60.5) Pub Date : 2025-05-15 Jari Tiihonen, Antti Tanskanen, Ellenor Mittendorfer‐Rutz, Oliver D. Howes, Christoph U. Correll, Dan Siskind, Heidi Taipale
Although clozapine is the most effective medication for treatment‐resistant schizophrenia, response is inadequate in over half of people with that condition. There is limited guidance available on effective clozapine augmentation strategies.

Cognitive dysfunction is a core dimension in psychotic disorders and among the strongest predictors of disability and poor quality of life. Cognitive impairments are highly heterogeneous, and cross‐sectional studies have consistently found evidence of distinct cognitive profiles both within diagnoses and transdiagnostically.

Bipolar II disorder (BD‐II) is currently identified by both the DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 as a distinct subtype of bipolar disorder, defined by at least one depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode, with no history of mania.

Sex and gender differences in the epidemiology of mental disorders are well documented. Less well understood are the drivers of these differences. Reproductive health represents one of the gendered determinants of mental health that may affect women throughout their life course. In this paper, we review common reproductive events that may be associated with mental ill health, including menstruation
