Background and Objectives The core pharmacological treatment of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), although remission only around 30% with them. Many patients will self‐treat opioids due to the opiate system involvement in dysphoric mood anxiety/stress responses, it likely that antagonism kappa opioid receptor (KOR) represents a potential target for PTSD. aim this study compare response PTSD symptoms when antagonizing KOR via...
Relative to the general population, patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder have higher rates of suicide attempts and mortality from COVID-19 infection. Therefore, determining whether a history attempt is associated in has implications for vulnerability stratification this patient population.We carried out cross-sectional analyses electronic health records veterans diagnosis that received treatment at any United States Veterans Affairs Medical Center between January 1, 2020,...

AUD medication treatment has been shown to improve outcomes compared with placebo when confined per-protocol analysis. The same outcomes, however, have not always maintained in intent-to-treat analysis, thus suggesting adherence may a significant impact on efficacy outcomes. There is conflicting evidence present the literature comparing oral versus injectable pharmacotherapy and paucity of information veteran population risk factors for low adherence.The primary end point this retrospective...
Objective: To evaluate whether a history of suicide attempt increases the odds receiving clozapine treatment in veterans with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.Methods: Electronic health record data were obtained for disorder treated at any US Veterans Affairs Medical Center between January 1, 2000, and 31, 2021 (N = 134,692). Logistic regression (adjusted unadjusted) was applied to estimate ratios (ORs) attempters relative nonattempters.Results: 3,407 patients had documented...
Lithium has known antisuicidal properties making it an important agent to study in veterans with psychiatric conditions, a population at high risk for suicide.

Nevertheless, PIs did not generally suspend applications or seek re-budgeting travel funds. Some activities able continue without component such data analysis, lab work, publication preparation.
