In our latest episode of The Biological Psychiatry Podcast, we sit down with Dr. @sidchop.bsky.social from @orygen.org.au and the @unimelb.edu.au to discuss his latest work distinguishing the effects of psychotic illness and antipsychotic medication on the brain.

Wonderful new work by @sidchop.bsky.social distinguishing illness-related and antipsychotic-related longitudinal brain changes in first episode psychosis in collab with @orygen.org.au
