The series has been excellent. The concepts have been a helpful supplement to my training and should really be core to all psychiatry education.

People who feel severely depressed for a long time
may simply need to be cared for, reassured with kindness and
hope, reminded of times when they have felt good, and kept
safe until they feel better, which they often do with time.
Re-reading a paper by Read & Moncrieff to use as an example of poor conceptual competence and had forgotten this gem.
