Why do some women develop psychosis after childbirth while others do not?
Part of the answer lies in 'vulnerability.'
Some women are more sensitive to the biological changes that follow childbirth.

The “8 hours of sleep” rule can be misleading.
You can get the hours right and still wake up exhausted.
Sleep duration only tells you how long you slept.
But it does not tell you whether your brain completed the cycles it needed.

“A well-structured and informative course with clear, evidence-based explanations. Truly an excellent guide for clinical practice.”
Psychotic depression does not always announce itself with obvious psychosis.
If clinicians do not actively assess for psychotic and melancholic features, severe depression can be labelled correctly but characterised incompletely.
And when the subtype is missed, the management pathway is missed along with it.
Led by Dr Sanil Rege, our Melancholic and Psychotic Depression course helps clinicians distinguish these severe depressive presentations from other forms of depression.
It covers key clinical features, neurobiology, diagnostic criteria and tools, and case-based management using pharmacological and psychotherapeutic strategies.
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognise the clinical features and neurobiology of melancholic and psychotic depression
- Differentiate both from other depressive presentations using diagnostic criteria and tools
- Use diagnostic interviews and collateral history to strengthen assessment
- Compare pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment options
- Apply diagnostic and management principles through case studies
Accreditation:
✅ 2.5 CPD hours
✅ Self-accreditable with RANZCP and other relevant mental health organisations
✅ RACGP accredited
✅ Certificate of Completion

When a patient says:
“My ADHD medication stopped working.”
Consider 2 possibilities:
1/ The early contrast has normalised
2/ Function has genuinely declined
Each is its own problem.
They should not automatically lead to the same treatment decision.
A change in how ADHD medication feels does not always mean a change in how well it is working.

Depression can present as any of at least 4 different patterns.
And the right treatment for one pattern can be the wrong treatment for another.
So before treatment, one question must come first:
Which depression is in front of you?
To learn more about how to assess depression beyond mood symptoms alone and how cognitive, emotional and activity-related dimensions can inform treatment, click the link in the comments below and check out the full course inside The Academy.

Are ADHD stimulants ‘harmful’ long term?
The answer depends on what you compare the risk against.

Long-term ADHD stimulant care means balancing benefit, safety and the risks of undertreatment.

Schizophrenia can involve too much dopamine and too little dopamine at the same time.
Too much is linked with psychosis.
Too little is linked with negative and cognitive symptoms.
Let’s break it down.
