In my last commentary, for the January 2021 issue, I took a look at the American Psychiatric Association's new practice guideline for the treatment of schizophrenia and suggested that even the “truisms” contained in that committee‐generated pronouncement merited consideration by busy practicing clinicians. The bottom line of my assessment was that we should try to maximize, as best we can, the impact of what we currently know (or think we know) in the care of our patients. I guess that notion of doing the most we can with the tools currently available has stuck with me, because one of the papers we cover in this month's Update on page 1 seems to have tapped into that same motif.
