S7E4 - SSRIs, Sex, and Truths of Suicide

The Psych Review

July saw the entire cast of The Psych Review get together for the first time in 2024. Mazz walks us through important developments related to sexual side effects of antidepressant medications in the context of a recent Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration announcement, and Shakira talks us through a very useful and thoughtful article that explores 'eight truths' about suicide learned over the course of a psychiatrists career.
