Episode description

Antidepressant Discontinuation Insights**: A recent Lancet Psychiatry review reveals that only 1 in 6 or 7 patients will experience symptoms upon stopping antidepressants, with severe symptoms occurring in just 1 in 35 patients. The importance of tapering off medication rather than stopping abruptly is emphasised, aligning with official health guidelines.

Heart Regeneration Research**: Massachusetts General Hospital uncovers groundbreaking differences in scar tissue between zebrafish and mammals, potentially opening new avenues for heart attack treatments. Targeting the enzyme lysol hydroxylase two could prevent permanent scarring, revolutionising the way we treat heart attacks and fibrotic diseases.

Community-Led Child Support**: Insights from the Lancet underline the critical role of culturally sensitive community-led child support systems. Empowering communities to take charge of child support can prevent future tragedies and create healthier environments for our children.
