Tricyclic antidepressant self poisoning and admission for acute care (2011)
Journal Article
Marland, G., Snowden, A., McNay, L., McCaig, M., & Boyd, G. (2011). Tricyclic antidepressant self poisoning and admission for acute care. British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 6, 589-596. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjca.2011.6.12.589

Self-poisoning by ingestion of antidepressants is a common method of suicide. Although tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are no longer the first choice treatment for depression they are still commonly taken in overdose causing poisoning and admission...

Medicine-taking and recovery-focused mental health practice (2011)
Journal Article
Marland, G., McNay, L., McCaig, M., & Snowden, A. (2011). Medicine-taking and recovery-focused mental health practice. British Journal of Wellbeing, 2, 21-25. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjow.2011.2.2.21

This article was inspired by the need to revisit medicine-taking within the context of recovery-focused practice in mental health. Practice based on compliance is unlikely to succeed and is not resonant with the principles of recovery. Mental wellbei...
