UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has finally announced his resignation as Conservative Party leader after 50 MPs and senior colleagues quit over his latest scandal, involving the appointment of an MP to a top job even though Boris knew he was accused of sexual misconduct. But why has it taken so long to oust him, given that he has been embroiled in one scandal after another for decades? What happens now in Westminster and who is most likely to be Boris' successor? The Quicky speaks to a former British MP who spent nearly two decades serving the public to find out how Boris Johnson managed to rise to power despite a litany of affairs and controversies, and who is now battling it out to replace him.

Why are people with mental illness committing themselves in advance, when well, to treatment that they know they may want to refuse when they become unwell? Sally Marlow investigates. Juan was diagnosed with bipolar in his late teens. In the decade that followed, he suffered an episode of severe mental illness once nearly every year, plagued by intense paranoid thoughts that distorted his thinking. Each time this happened, it got to the point that he could no longer care for himself and he was detained or ‘sectioned' under the Mental Health Act for his own safety. Juan has enjoyed good mental health for the past three years and he hopes that it will stay that way. But, as a precaution, he has joined a pilot study taking place at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. It's part of the reforms to the Mental Health Act which are underway to give service users more control, when well, over what happens to them when they become seriously ill. Sally Marlow talks to Juan who, as part of the pilot, has written an advance choice document. In this he summarises what it was like for him when he was unwell and how he'd like to be treated if it ever happens again. The document can include a range of preferences, within reason, such as which medication a person might prefer while in hospital and a request for admission earlier in an episode to avoid reaching crisis point. The person records their preferences when well so that they can be read and acted upon by the health professionals treating them if they become unwell in the future. Where reasonable, their preferences must be followed. This might seem straightforward but, as medical ethicist Tania Gergel explains, some people may choose to include a so-called ‘self-binding' element, saying “this is what I want to happen, and when I'm ill over-rule me even if I say otherwise”. The powerful image of Odysseus bound to the mast to resist the Sirens' song, captures the overwhelming role that distorted thinking can play in mental illness, and the therapeutic potential that binding oneself to a treatment decision in advance might have. It's hoped that advance choice documents, including this 'self-binding' element, will help people who have fluctuating periods of mental ill health, such as those with bipolar, and a recent survey of hundreds of people with the condition largely agree.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This week's moment is with presenter and journalist Kate Silverton. Kate is also the author of the incredible book called No such thing as naughty. This is a very short and powerful clip about how we can handle our children's meltdowns. I hope it helps you this week. It has already helped me this morning. Listen to the full episode here. ABOUT KATE SILVERTON In 25 years as a journalist, Kate Silverton has become one of the BBC's leading and most popular broadcasters. She has produced and presented numerous documentaries, including for the BBC's flagship current affairs programme Panorama. She has come under fire on the frontline in Iraq and Afghanistan, covered the glamour of the Oscars in Hollywood, and stepped out beneath the glitter ball herself as a contestant for the BBC's much-loved entertainment show, Strictly Come Dancing. Kate has spent decades interviewing leading figures throughout the world, from politicians through to celebrities and scientists. Throughout it all, Kate's lifelong passion has been to advocate for children and their emotional well-being. Her academic roots are in child development with a BSc in psychology and, after having children of her own, Kate decided to retrain as a child psychotherapist. She now combines her career in journalism with her studies, currently volunteering as a counsellor on placement working with children at a London primary school. Philanthropically, for many years she has supported charities like Place2Be, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, The South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, as well as the NSPCC and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Foundation. Kate's counselling work with children, her own personal experience of psychotherapy and the interviews she has conducted with world-renowned psychiatrists, neuroscientists and psychotherapists have all informed her approach and the concept she has devised for this book. Her philosophy is, ‘If we get it right from conception to five, we can set our children up for life.' Her passion is to share what she has learned with as many parents as she can, to help them to have the parenting experience they always hoped to have, and for their children to have the parenting experience they deserve.

Perinatal Mental Health problems occur during pregnancy and the very early stages of a child's life. And while postnatal depression is now widely spoken about, mental health problems in the perinatal period are less so and can leave a mother feeling isolated, ashamed and helpless.  Carmine Pariante is a professor of biological psychiatry at King's College London, and a consultant perinatal psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Specialising in the biological communication between the body and the brain, with a strong focus being in the areas of depression and fatigue, particularly in relation to the perinatal period and in those suffering from medical disorders, he discusses why it's so important to support a mother from a family, friends and societal level.

George Goldsmith, Chairman, CEO and Co-founder of COMPASS Pathways introduces our new podcast series. We are facing a global mental health care crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated this. Mental health care today works for some people but is not good enough for far too many. And yet there is still a stigma around talking about mental health. But when it comes to mental health, everyone has a story - whether that's about themselves, a family member, a friend or colleague. In this podcast series, we're going to speak to people about their mental health stories. We want to talk about the issues in mental health care and explore how we can improve the patient experience and ease suffering. Our first guests include Sir Norman Lamb – mental health campaigner and Chair of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust in the UK, and Jewel - singer-songwriter and mental health advocate. We hope to inspire, inform and provoke discussion, as our guests share their stories and ideas. Please do follow us on your favourite podcast app to ensure you don't miss episode one.

Personality disorder is often referred to as the “Cinderella” diagnosis of mental health. Around 1 in 20 people is estimated to have a personality disorder, and it is a neglected and under-resourced area of our healthcare system. In this week's episode, we discuss the stigma surrounding personality disorder, which can often manifest itself in high levels of anxiety for both patients and GPs, when it comes to diagnosing and managing it, and how to help a patient come to terms with their diagnosis. With suicidal ideation being experienced by many people with a personality disorder on a regular basis, we also talk about how we may best manage a situation of a patient in crisis presenting in primary care. Our guests: Leisha Davies is a clinical psychologist, originally from South Africa, who currently works in private practice. Soumitra Burman-Roy is a consultant psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. He also works for Maudsley Learning, an organisation which provides mental health training for primary care. Marie Stella McClure, who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at the age of 38, is the author of ‘Borderline: a Memoir', a book about her life and experiences of BPD.

Psychosis often emerges for the first time in adolescence and young adulthood. In around four out of five patients symptoms remit, but most experience relapses and further difficulties. Psychosis can be a frightening and bewildering experience for both patients and families. Early proactive support and intervention improves clinical outcomes, avoids costly and traumatic hospital admissions, and is preferred by patients and their families In this podcast,Sagnik Bhattacharyya, consultant psychiatrist at the Lambeth Hospital South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and David Shiers, former GP, honorary reader in early psychosis at at Manchester University, join us to discuss early treatment - and why hope is important for both GPs and patients.

Research has found that the gap in all-cause mortality between psychiatric patients after discharge, and the general population, is growing. Uy Hoang (Oxford University) tells us what his paper reveals about the trend, and we discuss possible ways to tackle the disparity with Fiona Gaughran and Shubulade Smith (Institute of Psychiatry, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust). Also, a UN conference this week aims to tackle non-communicable disease. Rebecca Coombes, BMJ features editor, explains how they're doing that, and some of the problems with the negotiations.
