Mental Health Australia chair quits in despair at government inaction theage.com.au/politics/feder… No-one expects mental health equity to occur overnight but it must be a top priority. Not buried/retarded by wider issues in the health system. This is our major health threat.

Progress & impact relies on partnerships with people who share the same vision. Incredibly honoured to work with ONE-IN-FIVE & The Florey to drive research we hope will change the lives of those living with mental illness. The Team were super excited to meet the amazing Board.

Wrote a very brief blog post with a summary of some of the early obvious issues I see in the new Ketamine depression paper. It's quite typical for this literature where the core conclusion does not follow from the presented evidence. eiko-fried.com/red-flags-in-t…
