Quite obvious that Generative AI has been used, but I would rather question the peer reviewer and the handling editor as well. How did it go unnoticed? #AcademicTwitter
"Ccertainly, here is a possible introduction for you." "... there are concerns that the authors appear to have used Generative AI ..." It appears that the authors used GenAI. Looks fairly obvious to me. Article: https://t.co/GNeyKmEtCb Retraction: https://t.co/kvVzyjKsEU

The concept of neuroplasticity has been well described in #depression than in any other psychiatric disorders. Here’s a paper we published in the topic few years back. https://t.co/q32f4sh7hJ

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The current pharmacological treatment options for MDD, which rely on the mono-amine hypothesis, has their...
This is the neuroplasticity theory of depression. Rather than a serotonin deficit, it focuses on restoring connections between brain regions involved in mood & reward.

Great, But, this also poses a greater risk to his life. Amygdala & its reciprocal connections with Hippocampus takes active role in threat detection, perception, & memories, preparing one to take necessary safety measures. When this threshold is ⬆️, fear⬇️ Thus, life risk⬆️

https://t.co/r7loxzZQ6v This paper by Prof. Chittaranjan Andrade creates room for doubt, enhances search for evidence & also informs readers about the possible influence of some pharmaceutical-sponsored RCTs which are included in certain recent meta-analysis. #psychtwitter

Schizophrenia is a major mental illness with a median lifetime prevalence, across studies, of 0.5%. Across definitions of treatment resistance, about 37% of schizophrenia patients do not respond to...
Clozapine is taught as the #1 med for treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). But a 2024 meta-analysis found clozapine no better than olanzapine in TRS. Constant re-appraisal of evidence → question dogma → change practice.
