Mental health service utilisation after a Community Treatment Order: A comparison between three modes of termination
Conclusion: Poorly planned discharge as a result of expiry of the Community Treatment Order or abrupt discharge by the review board may be associated with a more severe relapse and subsequent need for compulsory treatment.

In order to minimise the risk of major relapse, strong community engagement with treating services should be supported. (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry)

Central nervous system medication use in older adults with intellectual disability: Results from the successful ageing in intellectual disability study

Sex-dependent alterations in resting-state cerebral blood flow, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations and their coupling relationship in schizophrenia
Conclusion: The alterations in the relative cerebral blood flow and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations in schizophrenia are sex-specific, which should be considered in future neuroimaging studies. The relative cerebral blood flow and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations have different sensitivity in detecting changes in neuronal activity in schizophrenia and can provide complementary information.
