Soon after the introduction of second-generation antipsychotics, antipsychotic off-label use (OLU) progressively became a common prescribing practice. This evolving practice should be regularly monitored considering the growing number of persons exposed to the adverse effects of antipsychotics. The aim of the present review was to synthesise the literature published over the last 15 years on antipsychotic OLU for mental health symptoms.

Introduction: Preclinical and clinical pharmacologic evidence indicate that orexin systems are relevant to sleep-wake cycle regulation and dimensions of reward and cognition, providing the basis to hypothesizing that they may be effective as therapeutics in mental disorders. Due to the limited efficacy and tolerability profiles of existing treatments for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), investigational compounds in novel treatment classes are needed; seltorexant, an orexin receptor antagonist, is a potential new treatment currently under investigation.
Areas Covered: Mechanisms implicated in MDD, including reward and sleep are first overviewed.

Background: Temperature increases in the context of climate change affect numerous mental health outcomes. One such relevant outcome is involuntary admissions as these often relate to severe (life)threatening psychiatric conditions. Due to a shortage of studies into this topic, relationships between mean ambient temperature and involuntary admissions have remained largely elusive.

Objective/goals: Cognitive decline is intricately linked to various factors such as obesity, stress, poor sleep, and circadian rhythm misalignment, which are interrelated in their impact on cognitive health. Irregular food-intake timing further compounds these issues. The practice of prolonged nightly fasting (PNF) may help synchronize food intake with circadian rhythms, potentially mitigating adverse effects of cognitive decline and associated factors.
