7 Benefits of Physical Activity (Why you should prescribe exercise to patients)

We can't base efficacy claims on open treatment compared to historical cohorts. Otherwise, why bother to do randomised clinical trials? Please can Eisai publish the full data from the open label extension up to 48 months to help us all to understand what is really happening.

#2: Change is like learning a second language Insight alone isn’t enough. Patients need repeated, lived experiences in therapy to practise new emotional responses. The therapeutic relationship provides immersion in a new “relational dialect.” 3/9🧵

#4: Surprise drives growth Progress happens when reality defies expectation, what neuroscience calls a prediction error. Moments of surprise allow the brain to update its relational “rules.” Therapy becomes a space where these updates can occur safely. 5/9🧵

Important to note this is a convenience sample. V low rate for exclusion on grounds of awaiting diagnosis (33) suggests caution in interpretation to me. Results nonetheless interesting & suggest future research. My takeaway is that we need to be less dualist in diagnosis.

If SSRI withdrawal were like food poisoning, you’d vomit, purge, and recover in a few hours or days. But withdrawal syndromes can unfold across weeks, months, or even years, because the medication has been altering receptor sensitivity, neurotransmitter dynamics, and feedback
