  Beyond the Daily Pill: The Injection Shaking Up Bipolar Treatment

  Sep 13, 20263 min

  A new study published in The American Journal of Psychiatry analyzed electronic health records from 2,086 individuals with bipolar disorder in Hong Kong treated between 2004 and 2023. While long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) are already widely recognized for treating schizophrenia, robust comparative guidance for bipolar disorder has historically been limited. The researchers found that patients receiving LAIAs had a significantly lower risk of psychiatric hospitalization compared to those on traditional oral antipsychotics. In addition, the injectable treatments were tied to a reduced recurrence rate of manic and mixed episodes, offering compelling evidence for their expanded clinical role.

  The FDA Is Fast-Tracking Psychedelics. Noribogaine Is the Test Case That Is Not a Trip.

  Sep 6, 20263 min

  After an executive order pushing HHS to speed mental-health treatments, the FDA issued priority vouchers for psilocybin in depression and methylone in PTSD and cleared the first U.S. trial of an ibogaine-related drug. That compound is noribogaine, aimed at alcohol use disorder, and its developers argue it is not hallucinogenic. The scientific question is no longer whether Washington is interested. It is whether cardiac risk, blinding, and psychotherapy can survive a real review.

  Know Your Brain: The Four Lobes and What They Actually Do

  Aug 30, 202617 min

  This episode breaks down the brain's four primary lobes — frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital — and explains, in plain terms, what each one actually does and what happens when it's damaged or atypical. Along the way, the conversation touches on how differences in these brain regions show up in conditions like ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. It's a clear, foundational look at neuroanatomy for anyone curious about the biological side of how we think, feel, and behave.

  Psychopharmacology Masterclass: Drug Classes, Mechanisms of Action, and What Every Psychologist Needs to Know for Clinical Practice and the

  Jun 24, 202617 min

  Psychopharmacology is one of the most heavily tested and clinically consequential domains in professional psychology, covering everything from the neurochemical mechanisms behind antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and anxiolytics to the pharmacokinetic principles that determine how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated in ways that directly affect treatment outcomes and patient safety. This lecture-style episode breaks down the major drug classes tested on the EPPP and encountered in integrated care settings, including SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, MAOIs, first and second generation antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, and lithium, covering their mechanisms, therapeutic windows, side effect profiles, and the clinical decision-making frameworks psychologists need to consult competently with prescribing professionals. Whether you are preparing for licensure, refreshing your pharmacology knowledge for supervision or consultation, or building the scientific foundation you need to practice in an era of increasingly integrated behavioral health care, this episode delivers the core content in a focused, high-yield format designed to make complex neuroscience and pharmacology accessible and retainable.
