Where are the new medicines for psychiatry?

Peter Moleman05/09/2019Articles, PsychiatryLeave a Comment

I do not foresee any new medicines for psychiatry coming any day soon.
Everybody wants fast acting psychotropics, but that is not possible for most psychiatric disorders.
But integration of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy can be extremely rewarding.

Waarom mensen geen antidepressiva willen en wel psychotherapie | Peter Moleman

A lot of people think antidepressants are worthless. Is psychotherapy better than an antidepressant? There is no evidence for this. It seems to me that antidepressants suffer a disadvantage in our perception as compared to psychotherapy, in that their mechanism of action is quite invisible and not instinctively comprehensible.
