Editor’s Note: This interview of Anniek Lemmens by Mad in the Netherlands’ Monique Timmermans first appeared on Mad in the Netherlands on February 24, 2024. I‘m happy to see Anniek, 40 years old, again. She looks more fragile than she did last spring, and I can see that she is suffering. When I hug her, I can feel our nervous systems connect with a sigh of relief.

The choice of March 30th is significant as it coincides with the birthday of the renowned artist Vincent Van Gogh, believed to have suffered from bipolar disorder.

Editor’s note from Robert Whitaker: We recently noticed on X/Twitter the posting of an article, published in Lancet Psychiatry, that was pitched as a review of the literature regarding the effectiveness of “alternative psychosocial interventions for people with acute, non-affective psychosis?” The authors concluded that while there was abundant evidence from RCTs that antipsychotics are effective in treating “acute psychosis and reducing relapse,” and there was a much “smaller evidence bas

Tiotixene carries the most significant risk of withdrawal, followed by pimozide, quetiapine, thioridazine, and ziprasidone.
