Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that carries a heavy social stigma. However, experts have also questioned the validity and utility of the label. In response, some experts and service-user groups have called for different conceptualizations and terms for those experiencing psychotic symptoms. Doctors Matcheri Keshavan and Raquelle Mesholam-Gately are currently tackling this issue. They recently completed a project in collaboration with the Consumer Advisory Board of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA, examining the benefits and drawbacks of renaming schizophrenia. Matcheri Keshavan, M.D. is the Stanley Cobb Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Academic Head of Psychiatry and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts Mental Health Center. Raquelle Mesholam-Gately, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. She is also the director of the Consumer Advisory Board and conducts neuropsychology research in the Psychosis Research Program at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. In this interview, they discuss what they learned about the issues surrounding the renaming of schizophrenia in their research with consumers and service users. In particular, they reflect on how this psychiatric diagnosis can impact the therapeutic alliance necessary for effective treatment and the overall quality of life of people diagnosed.

Adam Murphy is an Academic Head of Management, HR and Law in Kaplan Business School.  Listen to Adam's passionate discussion of leadership and mindfulness.  He says, 'We make a serious mistake when thinking that authority and leadership are the same thing.  While the vast majoring of us don't have executive authority, many of us are influential leaders.'.  Effective leaders are mindful of their influence. Adam explains, 'Leadership doesn't come from the top of the organisational chart, but it can come from you. It starts by making a better choice. It starts by choosing to grow and pushing yourself to develop leadership, strengths and capabilities.'.  Regarding mindfulness, Adam askes, 'Where is your focus? You can focus on something that's upsetting you or going wrong.  If you do, you're going to feel terrible. But look around! The contribution that you make to the lives of other people, the love that you get from other people, the companionship of your friends, the the privileges that you have.'.  Be grateful for the contributions you can make!  'Gratitude is certainly a much better state to be in than feeling upset, angry or frustrated.' Gratitude is exemplified in Adam's story of Jonas Salk and the polio pandemic.  Find out what Jonas contributed!TIMELINE00:24  Introducing Adam Murphy 02:02  Difference between leadership and authority04:47  Leadership potential in you! 08:31  Who is most effective, competitive or collaborative leaders? 13:30  Ghost in the machine!  16:28  Why solve problems if you don't get credit for the solution?  18:40  Tackling new problems shapes tomorrow's leaders21:15  Diamond in the pocket 25:13  Conflict?

Over 15 per cent of our region has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which means that we are slowly but surely putting the pandemic behind us. But once everyone’s gotten a shot, there’s going to be an even longer term recovery project to consider, which is how we will mentally recover from the pandemic. The last great COVID-19 health crisis will be fought inside each of us. Are we prepared? Earlier this month, the Homewood Research Institute announced a new fellowship designed to train people to assist first responders and healthcare workers with trauma-related illnesses. The new program will support research into the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI), and as you can imagine, there is probably going to be a lot of that in the years and decades to come as we begin the mental recovery from the pandemic. If the job is to research trauma and PTSI, then Dr. McKinnon is exactly the right person for the task. She’s the Associate Co-Chair of Research and an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University. She’s also a Clinical Neuropsychologist with the Mood Disorders Program and Academic Head of Research for Mood and Anxiety Disorders Division at St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton, plus she's the Homewood Chair in Mental Health and Trauma. She knows a lot about trauma, and she's going to share that with us. So in this edition of the podcast, Dr. McKinnon talk about the various ways trauma can manifest itself, and the trauma being inflicted on first responders and doctors as they continue to fight COVID-19 ever day. She will also discuss how we need to start planning for the mental health recovery from the pandemic, how to be aware if you or someone in your life might be having a hard time processing trauma, and how her personal experience with trauma made her a better researcher. Let's tackle the health and science of treating trauma on this week’s Guelph Politicast. You can learn more about Dr. McKinnon's research at the McMaster University faculty page, you can learn about the research being done through St. Joseph’s Healthcare here, and you can learn more about the research being done at Homewood Health Centre here. You can also follow Dr. McKinnon on Twitter. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify.

Stroke recovery is a marathon; it's not a sprint. Regaining cognitive skills, physical skills, sensory skills, and more takes time and work. During that time, life can be really hard and unpleasant for many folks. The may or may not be able to work. Relationships get turned upside down, and after a while you just want it to go away. Surely, with all the advances in medicine, there must be something…some fancy technology or machine…some magic technique that will fix these problems, right? That leads folks to look for and explore alternatives. It also means that many survivors start pursuing things that don't work. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy appears to be one of those therapies. In Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, the patient spends time in a pressure chamber where the air pressure is 2-3X normal and breathes pure oxygen. They get roughly 8-12X as much oxygen as in their normal lives. This, supposedly, should grow new blood vessels in the brain and revive the dead neurons that were killed by the stroke, or drive new growth through neuroplasticity. I saw a number of people asking about it in Facebook groups and twitter feeds, so I began talking with folks to learn more. Strokecast regular, neurologist Dr Nirav Shah, introduced me to one of the world's leading authorities on Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy, Dr. Mike Bennett in Australia. This week I talk with Dr. Bennett about the theory and the research around hyperbaric medicine. We answer the key questions about it -- is it safe, and does it work. The short version is that it is mostly safe, but there is no reliable research demonstrating that it works. The main risk is to the patient's wallet. Bio Professor Bennett is the Academic Head of the Department of Anaesthesia, a Senior Staff Specialist in diving and hyperbaric medicine at Prince of Wales Hospital and Conjoint Professor in the faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. He graduated from the University of New South Wales in 1979 and spent his early post-graduate training at the Prince Henry/Prince of Wales Hospitals before undertaking training in Anaesthesia in the UK. He returned to Sydney in 1990 as a retrieval specialist on the Lifesaver Helicopter and here developed an interest in both diving and hyperbaric medicine. He also has a strong interest in clinical epidemiology and is an experienced clinician and researcher. In 2002 he was the recipient of the Behnke Award for outstanding scientific achievement from the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. Since 2004 he has been highly involved in the teaching of Evidence-based Medicine within the Medical faculty at UNSW and in 2005 was appointed co-director of the Quality Medical Practice Program there. He is the author of over 150 peer-reviewed publications including 15 Cochrane reviews of the evidence in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. Prof. Bennett was the convenor of the Australia and New Zealand Hyperbaric Medicine Group Introductory Course in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine from its inception in 1999.to 2014. He is an executive member of the Australia and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) special interest group in diving and hyperbaric medicine, chief examiner for the ANZCA Certificate in diving and hyperbaric medicine and Chair of the ANZCA Scholar Role Subcommittee. He is a past Vice-President of the UHMS and currently the Past President of SPUMS. Hack of the Week -- Rocker Knife Last week, I talked about cutting meat at a restaurant -- don't. This week, let's talk about doing the same thing at home where you may not have a kitchen staff. Sure, at home you can just pick up a hunk of meat with your hands. But sometimes you still want to slice it for some reason. I use a Verti-Grip knife. It's designed for folks with use of one hand. I hold it in my fist, rock it against the meat, and it cuts right through. It doesn't require you to brace what you're cutting with a fork. For a $14 gadget, it works really well.

This week we are joined by Professor Christina Lundgren, Academic Head of the Department of Anaesthesiology, at the University of the Witwatersrand, and clinical head of Anaesthesiology at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital. We discuss some of the pioneering work in her career and factors contributing to her success. Although the ratio of female to male anaesthetist specialists has increased at the bottom of the pyramid women are under-represented in higher echelons of the discipline. We consider role models, mentorship and succession planning as mechanisms to encourage female leadership. Tune in for more.
