In one of our final split session talks of #RCPsychIC 2021, we'll be hearing from @RachelUTG, @PsychMarwaha and @sameerjauhar, chaired by Professor Allan Young: Care of Adult Mental Ill-Health: Getting it right from the start.
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar Now we're looking at rTMS in young people with depression with @PsychMarwaha. There's a need for treatments in this area, for various reasons - including that it predicts physical health problems, as well as anxiety and bipolar disorder #RCPsychIC
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar Here are the current pharmacological options. But what happens when you run out of these options? rTMS is an option Dr Marwaha looked into at this point. #RCPsychIC
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar The results of this meta-analysis are interesting - all studies analysed showed some effect. The impact on younger people actually appeared to be greater than you might find on older people. Side affects appeared by be relatively mild, says #psychmarwaha at #RCPsychIC
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar In summary, results are promising but both the quantity and quality of evidence is lacking. Larger, better trials are needed, preferably within the NHS and the sham effect needs to be accounted for, says @PsychMarwaha at #RCPsychIC
Next up at #RCPsychIC is session S40 on ‘The placebo effect: insights for translational research and clinical practice’.
This will be chaired by Professor Samuele Cortese (@CorteseSamuele).
The first speaker in this session is Dr Nathan Huneke (@NathanHuneke) who will be talking about ‘Current knowledge of the placebo effect in anxiety disorders and future directions’
Nathan begins by highlighting 50 years of drug trials for anxiety disorders.
Very few have been successful because we don’t understand the neurobiology and there has been poor validity of pre-clinical trials.
First up in this session is Dr Rajeev Krishnadas (@WalkKD) from University of Glasgo. He was a guest editor for the BJPsych Special Issue and is talking about five points to consider when reading a translational machine learning paper.

So -we're nearly at the end of our first virtual #RCPsychIC - but there's one more set of split sessions to go! On this thread you can follow the 57th split session of this amazing event, which is about Dual Diagnosis from the public, clinical + academic perspective.
Our first speaker is Caroline Turiff, who has been diagnosed with a range of conditions inc OCD and PTSD, and is an award winning investigative broadcast journalist. #RCPsychIC
I've read 70% of people with drug dependency who have a dual diagnosis so it is the norm for them, she says. #RCPsychIC
