- Sertraline is increasingly used in children and adolescents. Here are results for the 2 RCTs on anxiety. SMD 1.8 😯 Sorry, this is just too good to be true! Thoughts? @toshi-frkw.bsky.social @joannamoncrieff.bsky.social

Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- @scientificdiscovery.dev Hi, I am creating a new version of my free online MOOC, and would like to use this picture, of which you have the copyright. Is it ok if I put it in a slide?

- Interested in learning how a small zombie-trial "infected" the body of evidence for fluoxetine to treat depression in children and adolecents? Tomorrow, 2. February, 2:00–3:30pm (UK) With @richlyus.bsky.social and me as presenters (via Teams) Free tickets: www.ticketsource.co.uk/bsms-researc...
- Has anybody already done a study on publication success, experimentally varying the direction of the effect (fitting the narrative vs. inconvenient findings)?
- This is brilliant! 😂

- This is huge. In many ways. This also fits my impression when doing a systematic review on ketamine and esketamine: studies from China, Iran, and India with results that seem just too good to be true.
- “If fabricated studies make their way into the evidence base, they can mislead real scientists and ultimately slow progress for patients." Published in The BMJ, a new AI tool developed by @aidybarnett.bsky.social and colleagues has exposed the scale of fake studies flooding cancer research.
- I remember times when ecological studies showing that increased antidepressant prescription rates were associated with decreasing suicide rates were praised in mainstream psychiatry as success of meds. Later, there was more silence bc the association reversed. This new paper breaks the silence a bit
- After rejecting our letter about serious problems in a study on psychotherapy vs. antidepressants we responded w the request for an integrity check (indep. of publication of our letter). The letter was then accepted and just published. We'll still request integrity checks. Thanks for your help!
- Super interesting interaction between two esteemed experts of our field. Such important points, especially toward the end where biological reductionism is discussed
- Finally deactivated my account on X. The place is now flooded with AI bullshit.

- Reposted by Martin PlöderlKinder & Jugendliche als "Generation Krise" zu labeln ist töricht und fatal. Daten zeigen, dass die überwiegende Mehrheit (ca. 88 - 85%) keine erheblich belastete psychische Gesundheit hat. Aus solche Zuschreibungen entstehen am Ende auch sich selbst erfüllende Prophezeihungen.

- Important arguments by @rboussageon.bsky.social on our study on fluoxetine: were initial findings false positive?, role of expectancy associated with novel drugs, biases in evidence interpretation, and testing the robustness of the evidence with the REB approach.
