Dr Ross Dunne @sadneurons on Tau & Amyloid in #Alzheimers #Lithium as a GSK inhibitor. Prescribed lithium reduces risk of dementia. Hard to research ’cos no profit in it☹️ But Dr Dunne has a study💥 Lively style a tonic for afternoon fatigue. #RCPsychIC #dementia #AlzResearchUK

Dr Roch Cantwell @roch61 (perinatal psychiatrist) talking on the tragedy of maternal #suicide. An important lesson: family as co-clinician “When families want to talk to you, you’re not breaking confidence”. #mentalhealth #RCPsychIC

Lively coda to 1st day at #RCPsychIC22 by Prof Sube Bannerjee of Plymouth University. Management of neuropsychiatric symptoms of #dementia #medication should be last not first resort. Skilled care much more important #RCPsychIC

What a privilege. Even though it’s 14 degrees, bucketing with rain and blowing a gale, after 15 months of social isolation this is luxury. Socially distanced opera at Holland Park. Verdi ‘s La Traviata. Performances are magnificent. @operahollandpark #ohptTraviata #OHP2021
