- 12:18anhedonia.
- 12:19Then
- 12:19there's

- 13:59With

- 14:02be
- 14:02more
- 14:02fleeting
- 14:03at
- 14:03times.
- 14:04And
- 14:04in

- 14:06again,
- 14:06it's
- 14:06kind

- 14:07the
- 14:07cake
- 14:08with
- 14:08the
- 14:08disease
- 14:09itself,
- 14:10right?
- 14:10So
- 14:10you
- 14:10have
- 14:10to
- 14:10think

- 14:18Right?
- 14:18So
- 14:18you've
- 14:18got
- 14:18to
- 14:19be
- 14:19asking
- 14:19the
- 14:19trauma

- 14:21making
- 14:21sure
- 14:21your

- 14:23and
- 14:24their
- 14:24anticholinergic
- 14:25side
- 14:25effects,
- 14:26and
- 14:26they're

- 14:28side
- 14:28effects,
- 14:28right?
- 14:28People
- 14:28get
- 14:29kind
- 14:29of
- 14:29sedated
- 14:29and
- 14:30slow.
- 14:30That
- 14:31can
- 14:31look
- 14:31like

- 14:34just
- 14:34be
- 14:34a
- 14:34medication
- 14:34side
- 14:35effect.
- 14:35So

- 14:36you
- 14:36know,
- 14:36assess
- 14:37the

- 14:39when
- 14:39you
- 14:39increase
- 14:40the

- 14:43opposed
- 14:44to
- 14:44the

- 14:46symptom.
- 14:46Primary
- 14:47negative
- 14:47symptom,
- 14:47again,
- 14:48would
- 14:48be
- 14:48the
- 14:48schizophrenia
- 14:49itself.
- 14:50Secondary
- 14:50negative
- 14:51symptom
- 14:51would
- 14:51be
- 14:52a
- 14:53sedation
- 14:53as
- 14:54a
- 14:54result
- 14:54of
- 14:55the

- 14:57Right?
- 14:58A
- 14:58flatness
- 14:59or
- 14:59slowness,
- 15:00maybe.
- 15:00If
- 15:00your

- 15:06the
- 15:07negative
- 15:07symptoms
- 15:08itself,
- 15:09right?
- 15:09Big
- 15:10difference.
- 15:11Okay.
- 15:12The
- 15:12emotional
- 15:13blunting
- 15:13that

- 15:16Well,

- 15:17be
- 15:17like
- 15:17a
- 15:17secondary
- 15:18negative
- 15:18symptom,
- 15:18right?
- 15:18It's

- 15:19primary
- 15:19from
- 15:19the
- 15:20actual
- 15:20schizophrenia
- 15:21itself.
- 15:22The
- 15:22five
- 15:23negative
- 15:23symptoms
- 15:23I
- 15:23just
- 15:24shared

- 15:24as
- 15:25a
- 15:25core
- 15:25feature
- 15:25of
- 15:26schizophrenia.
- 15:26No,
- 15:26this
- 15:27would

- 16:29trauma
- 16:29that's
- 16:29making
- 16:30this
- 16:30patient
- 16:30so
- 16:30withdrawn?
- 16:31It's
- 16:31more
- 16:31fear
- 16:32based.
- 16:32They

- 16:38they
- 16:38would

- 25:17Right.
- 25:18That's
- 25:18the
- 25:18magic
- 25:19of
- 25:19these
- 25:20D2
- 25:21partial
- 25:21agonists.
- 25:22They're.
- 25:22They
- 25:22act
- 25:23as
- 25:23dimmer
- 25:23switches,
- 25:24but
- 25:24they
- 25:24help.
- 25:24They
- 25:25help
- 25:25there.
- 25:26And
- 25:26so
- 25:26you
- 25:26can
- 25:26kind
- 25:27of
- 25:27hedge
- 25:27and
- 25:28you
- 25:28can
- 25:28kind
- 25:28of
- 25:28balance,
- 25:29but
- 25:29watch
- 25:29out
- 25:29for
- 25:30that
- 25:30akasthesia,
- 25:31of
- 25:31course,
- 25:31because
- 25:31I
- 25:31have
- 25:31had
- 25:32patients
- 25:32that
- 25:33absolutely
- 25:33can't
- 25:34tolerate
- 25:34that.
- 25:34It
- 25:34is
- 25:35very
- 25:36debilitating,
- 25:36actually,
- 25:37when
- 25:37it's
- 25:37happening.
- 25:38It's
- 25:38very
- 25:38scary.
- 25:39There's
- 25:39some
- 25:39evidence
- 25:40that
- 25:40it
- 25:40actually
- 25:41catalyzes
- 25:42suicidality
- 25:43and
- 25:43can
- 25:43make
- 25:43that
- 25:44worse.
- 25:44So
- 25:44definitely
- 25:45watch
- 25:45out.
- 25:46Akaesthesia
- 25:47is
- 25:47nothing
- 25:47to
- 25:47sneeze
- 25:48at.
- 25:48It's
- 25:48more
- 25:49of
- 25:49an
- 25:49inner
- 25:50muscle
- 25:50restlessness,
- 25:52and
- 25:52it's
- 25:52really
- 25:52debilitating
- 25:53and
- 25:53scary.
- 25:54And
- 25:54patients
- 25:55don't
- 25:55always
- 25:55know
- 25:55what
- 25:56it
- 25:56is.
- 25:56And
- 25:56they're
- 25:56gonna
- 25:56tell
- 25:57you
- 25:57they're
- 25:57more
- 25:57anxious,
- 25:58and
- 25:58maybe
- 25:58they're
- 25:58pacing
- 25:59more,
- 25:59and
- 25:59you're
- 25:59gonna
- 26:00go,
- 26:00oh,
- 26:00I
- 26:00need
- 26:00to
- 26:00raise

- 26:01antipsychotic.
- 26:01Well,
- 26:02no,
- 26:02we
- 26:02don't
- 26:02need
- 26:02to
- 26:02raise
- 26:03their
- 26:03antipsychotic.
- 26:04That
- 26:04would
- 26:04make
- 26:04things
- 26:04even
- 26:05worse
- 26:05because
- 26:05their
- 26:05anesthesia
- 26:06would
- 26:07significantly
- 26:08worsen.
