Female Pelvic Pain and Its Relationship to Emotions & Trauma Dr. Adriana Martí   When sex hurts, experts still have tons of unanswered questions. Since we don't have much accurate data on the various conditions that make intercourse painful, women often suffer in silence.   To help sort this out, Dr. Diana Wiley, a sex therapist, and Dr. Adriana Martí, a pain psychologist, had an informative conversation.   Dr. Martí uses the biopsychosocial model, which has emerged as the most comprehensive framework for understanding pain. Coming from a family of physicians, Dr. Marti understood the value of treating the physical body, but she also saw where the biomedical model falls short. That insight led her to embrace integrative, mind-body approaches to care especially for those living with chronic illness or pain.   The level of a patient's anger has been shown to be an important predictor of chronic pain symptoms, and cultivating compassion has been shown to positively influence how we process emotions, thus reducing the tendency toward negativity, including anger.   Psychological or emotional factors are often involved. Stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, a history of sexual abuse, an upsetting pelvic exam in the past, or relationship troubles can also be at the root of sexual pain. Some women experience vaginismus—an involuntary clenching of vaginal muscles that prevents penetration. Vaginismus is especially common among women who associate their vaginal area with fear or physical trauma.   Both the sex therapist and the health psychologist want to include the patient's partner at some point in the therapeutic process. For many couples who have been dealing with a confusing, undefined issue, there is a buildup of resentment and anger. Men often fear hurting their partner. Pleasure can become pain. It is so easy for couples to blame each other and lose sight of the fact that the real problem is a physiological condition, not their partner.   Dr. Martí also notes the cultural piece: the expectations related to the family. How does the family relate to pain? In one case, the mother and the grandmother both had pelvic pain. Sometimes the woman gets sucked into the “sick role,” which has the benefit of lowered expectations from the patient, but is ultimately not emotionally healthy.   Can pain be unlearned? A study led by Yoni Ashar, PhD, which was published in JAMA Psychiatry, was the first clinical trial of pain reprocessing therapy (PRT). PRT was developed by psychotherapist Alan Gordon to treat primary chronic back pain. Complete details can be found in his book, The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain.   There are additional fixes, such as vaginal estrogen or other medicines or creams. Also, pelvic floor therapy (provided by a specially trained physical therapist) can help control vaginal muscles. “Down training” uses a combination of mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, stretching, and visualization to help calm the nervous system.     The couple in therapy may be asked to do “outercourse” homework (non-penetrative sex). Some couples put too much focus on penetrative sex and neglect other fun, equally pleasurable sexual activities. Outercourse is a great option because it helps women forget there's a goal, so they can just enjoy the feelings and sensations of the ride! It gets both people out of their brains and into their bodies.   Dr. Martí has a private practice where she works with individuals and couples in both English and Spanish. All sessions are done via telehealth. A fifteen-minute phone consultation is the no-charge first step!  www.martipsychologicalservices.com

What does it mean to be free? It's a question that's puzzled philosophers for millennia. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? If you've ever felt hangry, crashed after a meal, or dealt with type 2 diabetes, you've experienced the opposite — metabolic imprisonment.My guest today, Ben Azadi, knows this firsthand. In 2008, Ben was obese and unhealthy, struggling to find answers. After shedding 80 pounds and turning his health around, he dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, he's a functional health expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand empowering people to use ancient healing tools like fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle. His new book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat, lays out the blueprint to reclaim your health.In this episode, we dive into:What metabolism really is — and why “slow” or “fast” metabolism may be a mythA groundbreaking study that disproves the idea that metabolism slows with ageWhy fasting insulin is a better marker of health than weight or glucose aloneThe surprising power of “Vitamin G” — gratitude — on your metabolic functionBen's top daily habits and biohacks to supercharge your metabolismBen's approach is all about education over medication — empowering you to take control, rather than outsourcing your health. Ben has also made a personal impact on a member of my family.Links:

Hi everyone, Joseph Pack. Today's episode is a little different.Because something happened recently that got under my skin. A comment. A public one. Made on a LinkedIn post I shared about my four-year-old son. Now normally, I ignore this kind of thing. I let it go. But not this time.Why? Because the comment wasn't just personal. It wasn't just wrong. It was dangerous. It was arrogant. And it revealed something bigger about how we talk about ADHD, about mental health, and about so-called experts.So I want to break it down — and dismantle it.Let me start by reading you the original post I shared:"The consultant paediatrician just suggested diagnosing my 4-year-old autistic son with ADHD so he can go on meds. AT FOUR YEARS OLD!!!Thankfully my wife took the appointment, not me. Otherwise I would have exploded.No, he will not be going for an ADHD diagnosis.Why?Because the only reason he'd need one is to get a prescription for medication. And I will NEVER EVER put him on ADHD drugs.Instead he's:* Attending a specialist school for autism that will accommodate his needs (rather than drugging him to fit in)* On a specialist diet, that is working exceptionally well* Allowed to be himself (running between each mouthful, bouncing all day, other traits that don't need to change)"Now, here's the full comment — word for word — that Sarah Templeton, a counsellor and so-called ADHD expert who works in the prison system, left under that post:“Joseph Pack come back to me when he's arrested. Sorry, but that's what you are risking by not medicating an ADHD child. Never mind risking them not being able to focus and concentrate in class so they won't achieve their potential educationally. Never mind leaving them open to low self-esteem when they lose friendships by saying things impulsively and wanting everything their own way. There are literally 100s of reasons why not giving an ADHD child the chance to be their best self with medication is going to impact them. I understand your viewpoint because it would've been mine before I was diagnosed 10 years ago and spent the best part of 10 years working with ADHD kids and adults. My viewpoint then and yours now comes from not understanding what ADHD medication does for the brain so absolutely no judgement from me but strongly suggest you read any of my books which will help you understand what the medication actually does and why it is life changing for any ADHD child.”Alright.Let's walk through this.Because what you've just heard is a textbook example of what Nassim Taleb calls epistemic arrogance — overconfidence disguised as certainty. Advice given as a blunt instrument. And that's what we're going to break down.I suspect also that this comment was reactionary and emotional. I'll let her decide if that's true or not.Part One: "Come back to me when he's arrested."Let's just acknowledge how wild that is.She doesn't know my son. She knows he's autistic. She knows he's non-verbal. She knows he's four. She knows he's in a specialist school. She knows he has loving, neurodivergent parents who advocate for him daily.But she sees ADHD — and imagines handcuffs. That's not expertise. That's projection. And a gargantuan bias based on her particular niche of ADHD work.She works in prisons — that's her lens. But working in a trauma-saturated system doesn't mean every child who reminds you of someone ends up there.Let's talk numbers. There are roughly 97,700 people in UK prisons. About 25% — or 22,000 — are estimated to have ADHD.Sounds significant, right? Until you consider: there are around 1.9 million adults in the UK with ADHD.So, more than 1.88 million ADHD adults are not in prison.It's like saying: “Everyone who drowned last year drank water — so water must cause drowning.” Classic correlation confusion. Not something you'd expect from a so-called expert.No. Environment matters. Trauma matters. Poverty, exclusion, racism, under-diagnosis — they matter. Medication? It's not the magic bullet Sarah wants it to be.She's at risk of sounding like pharmaceutical salesperson.Part Two: "Never mind risking them not being able to concentrate…"This is where things start to sound like a pharma brochure.Yes, focus matters. Yes, some kids benefit from stimulant meds. But not all. And not without cost.But let's talk about this idea that Ronnie's going to fall behind educationally if he's not medicated. That he won't reach his "potential."He's four. He's non-verbal. He's autistic. He's not struggling with algebra — he's learning how to exist in the world. He's attending a specialist autism school designed to support exactly that: not to churn out doctors and lawyers, but to help children like Ronnie feel safe, regulated, and understood.We are not focused on his academic milestones. We're focused on his joy, his connection, his ability to be in his body without distress. That's his curriculum. That's his success. My wife and I will NEVER force academic success above happiness, joy, and the ability for him to be himself. It feels like Sarah wants to medicate him into compliance so he becomes a good little tax paying member of society one day.And no — I'm not interested in numbing his instincts so he can sit still and appear more “teachable.” That's not support. That's control. That's asking a sensory-seeking child to deny himself in order to fit a mould he was never built for.I've coached kids who say meds make them feel flat. Like their personality has been sucked from their body. I've seen side effects from chronic mouth ulcers to cardiovascular damage.I live with ADHD. I can't take meds for health reasons. That's why I built a method — for people like me. People who don't want to or can't go down that route.And again: Ronnie can't tell us how medication makes him feel. So no — we're not gambling with his emotional world just to appease someone else's idea of "achievement."Putting him on drugs now isn't support. It's sedation. It's compliance training. It's an attempt to make us feel more comfortable — not him.Sarah genuinely seems to think there's something wrong with him and that the meds fixes that. Isn't that everything the ADHD advocates are trying to fight against?Crazy stuff.A Word on Long-Term Medication RisksThere's another thing that's missing from this entire conversation: the long-term physical risks of ADHD medication. Something I've never heard Sarah acknowledge publicly.There's a massive Swedish study — published in JAMA Psychiatry — that followed over 278,000 people with ADHD. And what they found should be part of every parent's decision-making process.After just 3 to 5 years of ADHD medication use, participants had:* A 27% higher risk of cardiovascular disease* A 72% higher risk of hypertension* A 65% increased risk of arterial diseaseAnd these weren't short-term effects. Even beyond five years, the risk remained elevated:Each additional year on medication increased the risk of CVD by 4%.So when someone calls medication “life-changing for any ADHD child” and pushes it as the default — without even mentioning these risks — that's not responsible. That's not expert advice. That's omission.Especially when we're talking about kids. About children like Ronnie who can't speak for themselves. We're not just giving them a pill. We're setting a long-term trajectory — one that could lead to very real health consequences years down the line.And when you're making decisions for someone who can't yet make them for themselves — don't you want the full picture?Part Three: Beyond the Bullet PointsThis is where I want to shift the tone — away from dissecting every line of Sarah's comment, and towards something deeper.Because here's the truth: this isn't about me being offended. It's not even about Sarah, really. It's about dismantling the idea that what she said represents solid, professional, unquestionable truth.It doesn't. It represents overconfidence. It represents a narrow worldview. And most importantly — it represents the danger of mistaking one's experience for universal authority.She's not a psychiatrist. She's a counsellor. That's fine. That's valuable work. But let's not confuse it with medical expertise. She can't diagnose. She can't prescribe. And yet she speaks with the certainty of someone who believes her anecdotal experience gives her the moral high ground.That's arrogance, not authority.Let's also be clear: saying publicly that a child you've never met — a four-year-old — is on a path to prison unless medicated, isn't just unprofessional. It's reckless. It tells me everything I need to know about how she sees children like my son. And about what she values: compliance over context, obedience over curiosity.Her comment isn't compassionate. It's controlling.And I'm not here to say I'm right and she's wrong. I'm here to say: the conversation is bigger. ADHD is bigger. Ronnie is bigger.And if you can't start from a place of humility — if you can't admit that you might not have the full picture — then you shouldn't be advising parents at all.The Expert Problem — And Why Psychology Suffers From It Profoundly(If you're listening to this as a podcast, you can check out the accompanying post or show notes to see a brilliant visual that perfectly illustrates this concept — a graphic split down the middle: on one side, "Things That Don't Move" like surgeons and plumbers — true experts with clear outcomes. On the other side: "Things That Move" — economists, political scientists, and yes, psychologists — where overconfidence often leads to failure. It shows how humility and acceptance of ignorance lead to stronger outcomes, while arrogance and overconfidence lead to fragility. That is exactly what we're dealing with here.)Let's go even deeper.Because there's another critical issue we need to look at: the reliability of the very research this entire expert class depends on.Roughly 40% of scientific studies don't replicate — and in psychology, that number is often even higher. I've seen some say it could be as high as 99% in certain strands of psychology. What does that mean? It means that nearly half the time, when someone tries to repeat a published study's results, they fail.Even worse, incorrect or flawed studies tend to get cited more than correct ones. Why? Because incorrect studies are often more “exciting” — they confirm biases, stir controversy, and generate headlines. As Ted Gioia put it in his essay on the death of the expert: “False research spreads faster because it's more seductive.”This isn't just a glitch. It's a systemic flaw. And it means that the very foundation of many so-called expert opinions in psychology — ADHD included — is built on shaky ground. The appearance of authority, without the robustness of truth.So when someone like Sarah Templeton says, “Read my books,” I have to ask: what are those books built on? Clinical experience? Possibly. But how much of that is selectively interpreted? And how much of the 'science' she's referring to is part of this unreproducible, citation-chasing machinery?This is why humility matters. This is why overconfidence is dangerous. And this is why we must challenge the entire framework that tells us to blindly trust 'the expert'.Because there's something bigger at play here — something Nassim Taleb calls the expert problem. And nowhere is it more visible than in psychology, and particularly ADHD.Taleb writes:“Let us ask the following questions: Would you rather have your upcoming brain surgery performed by a newspaper's science reporter or by a certified brain surgeon? On the other hand, would you prefer to listen to an economic forecast by someone with a PhD in finance from some 'prominent' institution such as the Wharton School, or by a newspaper's business writer? While the answer to the first question is empirically obvious, the answer to the second one isn't at all. We can already see the difference between 'know-how' and 'know-what'."This distinction is crucial. Because what Taleb is saying is that when you're dealing with things that don't move — like brain surgery — expertise is real, measurable, repeatable. But when you're dealing with things that do move — like human behaviour, psychology, ADHD — it becomes much murkier.“Simply, things that move, and therefore require knowledge, do not usually have experts, while things that don't move seem to have some experts. In other words, professions that deal with the future and base their studies on the non-repeatable past have an expert problem.”Psychology deals with prediction based on messy, incomplete, non-repeatable past experiences. There are no guarantees. There are no universal outcomes.And yet — people like Sarah speak with the confidence of an electrician working on a fixed, regulated system, in a field that is nothing like that. ADHD isn't wiring. It's not a circuit board. It's a moving target — dynamic, unpredictable, shaped by emotion, environment, development. To talk about it with that level of certainty is not expertise. It's hubris.That's not harmless.“Expert problems (in which the expert knows a lot but less than he thinks he does) often bring fragilities, and acceptance of ignorance.Translation: overconfidence in uncertain fields creates damage. Especially when there's no accountability for being wrong.Sarah Templeton believes she's helping. I believe she's contributing to the exact fragility Taleb describes — making families feel powerless, pushing single-path solutions, and ignoring the chaos and complexity that defines real people's lives.And if you ask me, the real experts in ADHD? They're not always the ones with books or clinics or TEDx talks.They're the people living it. The parents. The kids. The adults who've navigated it — medicated or not — and made sense of it for themselves.Where I standI'm not an expert. I'm a dad. I have ADHD. I've coached kids, worked with families, built a method that helps people without drugs. That doesn't mean I know everything. It means I've paid attention.And most importantly: I know I'm biased. Toward drug-free strategies. But I own that. I keep testing it. I keep listening.Sarah? She doesn't seem to know she has a bias. That's the difference.My son is not a statisticRonnie is four. He's non-verbal. He's sensory seeking. He's wildly active. And he is allowed to be exactly who he is — safely, lovingly, supportively.He's not a case study. He's not a future prisoner. He's a boy.And if there's one thing I want this episode to leave you with, it's this:The future isn't fixed. Especially not for neurodivergent kids. And anyone who tells you otherwise — no matter how well-credentialed, how many books they've written, or how loudly they shout — does not deserve your trust. This is a public episode.

Without this one thing, every single thing you know and love would disappear. Soil would fail, forests would starve, antibiotics would, well, vanish, and your morning coffee, bread, beer, and even chocolate would be gone. The thing I'm talking about is everywhere. It's probably in your lunch. It's almost certainly in your lungs. It's in your sourdough starter, your compost heap. Got a clue yet? Most people don't actually know what these things are. I'm talking about fungi. Fungi are not plants, not animals, not bacteria — they're something else entirely. And they're really, really old.They're older than dinosaurs, older than sharks — they might even be older than plants, depending on how you define a plant.Today, I'm diving into something I'm actually violently allergic to: fungus. I'm covering everything from what fungi actually are (because it turns out most of us have no idea) to why they might be the most important thing on Earth… ish.In this episode I share: What prokaryotes and eukaryotes areWhat fungi actually areThe different types of fungiHow fungi moved from ocean to land and began a symbiotic relationship with plantsHow fungi can decompose almost anything — including radiationZombie fungus (and whether we should worry)How fungi reproduceWhy they're incredibly usefulSome of the annoying and dangerous things they doHow we might use fungi to help fix the planet.Key quotes:"Fungi are more closely related to us than to plants.""Turns out plants talk way more than you think they do."Sources: Billion-year-old fungal fossils (Nature 2019): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1217-0Armillaria “humongous fungus” 9 km² individual: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-largest-organism-is-fungus/Prototaxites 8 m Silurian-Devonian giant: https://www.science.org/content/article/ancient-giant-fossils-may-be-world-s-oldest-known-terrestrial-fungi90 % of plants with mycorrhizae (Nature Scitable): https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/an-ecological-and-evolutionary-perspective-on-mycorrhizal-24286790/Mycorrhizal carbon sink 3–7 Gt CO₂ yr⁻¹ (Science 2022): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abf3457Penicillin discovery background (Nobel Prize): https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1945/fleming/facts/Statins from Penicillium citrinum (review): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5958453/Cyclosporine discovery story: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7568434/Psilocybin phase-II depression trial (JAMA Psychiatry 2021): https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2787297Plastic-eating fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora (2011 study): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22269855/ CDC overview of Candida auris drug resistance: https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/Chytrid fungus amphibian decline paper (Science 2006): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1125069Mycoremediation and mycofiltration review (Biodegradation 2018): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10532-018-0914-8Find our full podcast via the website here: https://www.nowthatswhaticall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatswhaticallgreen/You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briannemwest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briannemwestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannemwest/

Interview with Professor Jurgen Unutzer, MD, author of Effective Components of Collaborative Care for Depression in Primary Care: An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis. Hosted by John Torous, MD. Related Content: Effective Components of Collaborative Care for Depression in Primary Care

Welcome back to Authentically ADHD, where we explore the realities of living with ADHD—the science, struggles, and strengths. Host Carmen Irace delves into the debate of Consistency vs. Persistence, examining why one is more suited to ADHD brains than the other. This episode challenges conventional productivity wisdom and offers practical insights for sustainable success.The Expectation of Consistency: Consistency is often touted as key to success, yet for ADHD individuals, it can feel unattainable. Scientific insights reveal how ADHD brains navigate motivation and effort differently, highlighting the disconnect between traditional expectations and neurological reality.Redefining Success Through Persistence: Shifting focus to persistence, Irace explains why this approach aligns better with ADHD traits. Persistence allows for flexibility, embracing the natural ebb and flow of motivation without the guilt of perceived failures. Scientific studies underscore the effectiveness of this mindset in achieving long-term goals.Real-Life Examples of Persistence Over Consistency: Irace provides practical examples—from exercise routines to work productivity and relationships—illustrating how embracing persistence leads to sustained progress. Each scenario emphasizes adapting habits to individual rhythms rather than adhering to rigid schedules.How to Build Persistence (Without Pressure): The episode concludes with six science-backed strategies to cultivate persistence in daily life. These include leveraging micro-wins, using external structures like alarms and accountability partners, and fostering self-compassion to navigate setbacks effectively.Closing Thoughts: Consistency may be overrated, but persistence is ADHD-friendly and sustainable. Irace encourages listeners to embrace this mindset, emphasizing that success lies in resilience rather than unattainable perfection.This episode resonates with anyone who has struggled with maintaining routines or habits, offering a refreshing perspective that celebrates the unique strengths of ADHD. Join Carmen Irace next time as she continues to explore topics essential to thriving with ADHD.Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/carmen_iraceJoin Focused: https://ihaveadhdllc.ontralink.com/t?orid=29951&opid=1Show Notes:INTRODUCTIONHOST (Carmen Irace): Hey everyone! Welcome back to Authentically ADHD, the podcast where we dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD—the science, the struggles, and the strengths. I'm your host, Carmen Irace, and today, we're tackling a topic that I know so many of us wrestle with: Consistency vs. Persistence—and why one of these works way better for ADHD brains than the other.I want you to take a second and think about these two words. Consistency. Persistence. Which one makes you feel empowered? And which one makes you feel exhausted just thinking about it?For most of us with ADHD, "consistency" feels like this impossible standard that we just can't live up to. We're told that success comes from doing the same thing, the same way, over and over—but our brains just don't work that way. And that's okay.Today, we're breaking it all down. We'll explore:* The perception of these words and why consistency feels unattainable for ADHDers* The science behind why our brains struggle with consistency but thrive with persistence* Why persistence is actually the ADHD-friendly approach to long-term success* And some practical strategies to help you build persistence without pressureSo, if you've ever felt frustrated that you "can't stay consistent" with habits, work, or goals—this episode is for you. Let's jump in.THE EXPECTATION OF CONSISTENCYLet's start with consistency.This word is thrown around all the time in productivity culture:* “The key to success is consistency.”* “If you're not consistent, you're not disciplined.”* “Success comes from showing up every single day.”And if you have ADHD, hearing that feels like being asked to run a marathon with no training, no shoes, and no idea where the finish line is. Because consistency is built on predictability—and ADHD is the opposite of predictable.

Measles cases are rising in Texas and New Mexico, with most infections occurring in unvaccinated individuals and public health officials warning of further spread. A new study in JAMA Psychiatry found that semaglutide significantly reduces alcohol craving and heavy drinking, suggesting a potential new treatment for alcohol use disorder. Research confirms that self-sampling for HPV is as effective as speculum-based exams, improving accessibility for women with disabilities and underserved populations. With the FDA's recent approval, self-collection could revolutionize cervical cancer screening in the U.S.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.Novo's semaglutide shows promise in curbing alcohol use disorder, according to data published in JAMA Psychiatry. This supports the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists for addictive disorders. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is considering job cuts at the FDA. This could potentially lead to uncertainty and delays in regulatory reviews.In other news, Sanofi is facing a $250 million impairment after scrapping a J&J-partnered E. coli vaccine.

In recent years, cannabis has been celebrated for its therapeutic potential, including pain relief, anxiety management, and even its role in reducing seizures. But behind the rising popularity lies a growing concern: its impact on young minds at risk of psychosis. A groundbreaking study conducted at McGill University, recently published in JAMA Psychiatry, sheds light on how cannabis exacerbates brain changes in young adults already vulnerable to psychosis. For some, this is not just a scientific finding—it's a lived nightmare.

In this interview for MIA Radio, Brooke Siem speaks with David Taylor and Mark Horowitz about their publication of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, which is of particular note since the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines is a leading text in medicine worldwide. David Taylor is the Director of Pharmacy and Pathology at Maudsley Hospital and a Professor of Psychopharmacology at King's College in London. He is also the editor-in-chief of the journal Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology. Beyond academia, he contributes significantly to public health policy as a member of the United Kingdom's Department of Transport expert panel that introduced drug-driving regulations. He is also a current member of the UK government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and is the only pharmacist to have been made an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. David is the lead author of the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, a role he has held since their inception in 1993. The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines have achieved significant success, with over 300,000 copies sold across 14 editions and translations into 12 languages. David has also authored 450 clinical papers published in prominent journals such as The Lancet, BMJ, British Journal of Psychiatry, and Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. His work has been cited over 25,000 times. Mark Horowitz is a clinical research fellow in psychiatry at the National Health Service (NHS) in London. He is a Visiting Lecturer in Psychopharmacology at King's College London and an Honorary Clinical Research Fellow at University College London, in addition to being a trainee psychiatrist. Mark holds a PhD from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College London, specializing in the neurobiology of depression and antidepressant action. He is the lead author of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines and an associate editor of Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology. Mark co-authored the recent Royal College of Psychiatry's guidance on stopping antidepressants, and his work has informed the recent NICE guidelines on the safe tapering of psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and z-drugs. He has collaborated with the NHS to develop national guidance for safe deprescribing for clinicians and has been commissioned by Health Education England to prepare a teaching module on how to safely stop antidepressants. Mark has published several papers on safe approaches to tapering psychiatric medications, with contributions in The Lancet Psychiatry, JAMA Psychiatry, and Schizophrenia Bulletin. His interest lies in rational psychopharmacology and the deprescribing of psychiatric medications, which is deeply informed by his personal experiences of the challenges associated with coming off psychiatric medications. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Se coucher tard a des effets significatifs sur le cerveau, comme le démontrent plusieurs études scientifiques. Une étude publiée dans Nature en 2017 a montré que les individus qui dorment moins de six heures par nuit ont une performance cognitive réduite, notamment en termes de mémoire, d'attention et de prise de décision. Les chercheurs ont observé une diminution de la matière grise dans les régions du cerveau associées à ces fonctions chez les personnes chroniquement privées de sommeil.En 2019, une étude dans JAMA Psychiatry a révélé que les adolescents qui se couchaient après minuit avaient un risque accru de développer des symptômes dépressifs. L'étude, portant sur 4 175 adolescents, a trouvé que chaque heure de coucher tardive augmentait de 38% le risque de symptômes dépressifs et de 23% celui de pensées suicidaires.De plus, une étude de l'université de Stanford a souligné que se coucher tard perturbe le rythme circadien, provoquant un désalignement entre l'horloge interne et les cycles naturels de lumière et d'obscurité. Cela peut entraîner une dysrégulation de la sécrétion de mélatonine, une hormone cruciale pour le sommeil. Un mauvais alignement du rythme circadien a été associé à des troubles de l'humeur, notamment la dépression et l'anxiété.Des données de la UK Biobank, portant sur 91 000 participants, ont montré que les individus qui se couchaient après 23 heures avaient un risque 25% plus élevé de développer des troubles cognitifs et de l'humeur par rapport à ceux qui se couchaient plus tôt. Ces effets sont exacerbés par la lumière bleue des écrans, qui inhibe la production de mélatonine et perturbe le sommeil.Une autre recherche publiée dans Sleep en 2020 a révélé que les personnes qui se couchent tard sont plus susceptibles de souffrir de troubles de la régulation émotionnelle, ce qui peut entraîner une augmentation des comportements impulsifs et des difficultés à gérer le stress.Mais alors quelle est l'heure maximale à laquelle faut-il aller au lit pour préserver sa santé mentale ?Les chercheurs ont analysé les données de 73 888 adultes, âgés en moyenne de 63,5 ans, issus de la UK Biobank. Les participants ont fourni des informations sur leurs habitudes de sommeil et ont porté un moniteur d'activité pendant une semaine. Les résultats montrent que plus de 19 000 participants étaient des "couche-tôt", plus de 6 800 des "couche-tard", et près de 48 000 se situaient entre les deux.Les données de sommeil ont été comparées aux dossiers médicaux des participants, révélant que se coucher tard est associé à des taux plus élevés de troubles mentaux et comportementaux. Ceux qui se couchaient tard, qu'ils soient du matin ou du soir, avaient des taux plus élevés de dépression et d'anxiété.Les conclusions de l'étude indiquent qu'il convient de se coucher avant une heure du matin pour préserver la santé mentale, soulignant que les comportements nuisibles, comme les pensées suicidaires, la consommation d'alcool et de drogues, et la suralimentation, sont plus fréquents la nuit.

Scientific studies  support the benefits of mindful movement. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that regular exercise can be as effective as medication for reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Another study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that mindfulness-based movement practices like yoga and Tai Chi can improve mood, reduce stress, and increase overall well-being.In fact, a meta-analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry found that exercise has a large and significant effect on reducing symptoms of depression, regardless of the intensity or duration of the activity. The researchers analyzed 49 studies involving nearly 267,000 participants and found that exercise was associated with a 17% reduction in the risk of developing depression.But how can we incorporate mindful movement into our busy daily lives?Tune into this episode where Noa shares 4 easy steps you can take today to rewire your brain and make movement and new habits part of your daily wellness  routine.Sign up to Noa's NEW 360 Wellness course and receive a 15% coupon code when you mention Raising the New Earth Podcast!

It is essentially the opposite of the placebo effect, where a person experiences improvements in their condition due to believing in the effectiveness of a treatment, even if it is inert. In the case of the nocebo effect, negative expectations can lead to real physiological or psychological effects, often complicating medical treatments and clinical trials.
