    Mistake at around 14:00: ODTs have minimal buccal absorption. Sublinguals are buccally absorbed.

    This was one of the most amazing lectures I have ever received! The best part was the videos demonstrating concepts, and that added to the mnemonics and little memory tricks... I don't think I could forget this lesson if I tried! 🙌🙌🙌 Thank you so much for putting this out here

    Akathisia is one of the worst feeling possible. I had a few episodes of akathisia after being prescribed with an atipsychotic. I stopped taking it by myself (without consulting my psychiatrist) after a few days because I couldn't take it anymore. Every time I endend up taking high doses of sleep medication in order put myself to sleep so that it would end. You will do anything to stop it, after a few hours even suicide will come to your mind even if you aren't really going to do it - but for a person that is already considering suicide I can imagine an episode of akathisia might drive them to do it, especially if they don't have any other means to put an end to it, like sleep medications. During my experiences I remembered that I always tought that this must be what being in hell feels like - but then I tought it couldn't be that bad. I always took the medication before I went to sleep, so the akathisia would usually start when I was already in bed. Because of that, even after I stopped taking the medication I started to be afraid to go to bed because I was worried it would happen again, even though I knew it wouldn't since I stopped taking the medication. Thankfully this stopped after something like a week. For psychiatrists reading this, if your patient say they are experiencing this, please let them off the medication that is causing it. Akathisia is a side effect that no one should be asked to endure And i'm sorry but I don't think drinking any ammount of coffee would make you feel anywhere close to being with akathisia... Just consider that people who experience akathisia consider suicide to stop it. Feeling the need to be in movement is actually the very least of the problems, the worst part goes on only in your head. The moving is just the only symptom that can be perceived by others
  • You’ve condensed my professors lecture into a quarter of the time with pneumonics. Thank you
  • @suemedina2773
    Jonathan, this series has been immensely helpful in studying for my PMHNP boards. Thank you!
  • your videos are amazing!! I am studying to be a psych nurse practitioner and these videos are very helpful. Thank you so much!
  • Whoever prescribes antipsychotics either has not the slightest clue what she/he is doing or she/he needs mental treatment more than any patient that ever turned to her/him for help. No responsible person would risk causing such harm to those they claim to help or to anybody for that matter. It is also amazing to read the comments, a lot of mental health professionals writing that this was the most informative video they ever saw on this topic. In my opinion the content of this video is so basic that noone should have licence to prescribe or deal with these drugs unless they knew of these.
  • Great video..especially the visual explaination of side effects associated with anti psychotics..thanks and keep going👏🏼👍🏼
  • RNID, BNS, MHSc working in community I'D sector. Best most relevant lecture ever. Thank you

  • @ASMinor
    I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my YouTube channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙
