What sets Brexpiprazole (Rexulti) apart as a third-generation antipsychotic?
Brexpiprazole is a partial dopamine D2 agonist classified as a serotonin-dopamine activity modulator (SDAM).
Its unique receptor profile offers a therapeutic edge by addressing:
✅ Positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions).
✅ Negative symptoms (emotional withdrawal, lack of motivation).
✅ Cognitive deficits, an often-overlooked challenge in schizophrenia.
But how does Brexpiprazole achieve these outcomes? Let’s break it down 👇
Went to get my toddler from her nap and the blackout blind is causing an accidental camera obscura on the wall above her cot. I’ve not been this excited in months.

Talked to a lovely nurse on the train- we were the only ones wearing masks in our carriage in England. She’s seen many people die of Covid incl a close colleague. People are deluded thinking the pandemic is over. Let’s use tools to manage COVID. Not pretend it doesn’t exist.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
Swallowing the horse caused her to die, of course.
But by what mechanism did she die/what would you put on the certificate?

Been wondering what this red slot at the base of my new monitor is. Only took me three whole days to figure it out. At least that’s what I hope it’s for..

This is important and uncomfortable news - but we also must not forget that psychiatric hospitals here and elsewhere have been in this state, at or over capacity, for about a year - or much longer
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Dr Gray’s in Elgin have both entered ‘code black’ status - with both "at capacity" for days amid a third wave of Covid cases.

“Knowledge Specialist” “Athens Administrator” not the roles that springs to mind when you think ‘NHS’ yet their work gives clinicians important tools to treat patients-evidence and time. Welcome to Day 4 #KLSNAW #HEEKLS #AMillionDecisions tinyurl.com/2nvjc2zm @PennineCareNHS
And just like that...with a short, understated email, it was done. Time for an early 🥪 to celebrate before afternoon clinics. Onwards and hopefully..upwards!
