S7E2 - Novel Psychiatric Interventions Special

The Psych Review

In the second episode of 2024 Dave and Mazz discuss interesting novel psychiatric interventions. Dave guides us through the promising and cost-effective arts-literacy intervention Pre-Texts in the Kenyan context, and Mazz takes us on a roller-coaster ride through the twists and turns of the development of the novel antipsychotic medication Ulotaront.
