With smartphones and 24/7 connection to the internet teenagers are growing up in a different world to their parents.  Many people are quick to blame screens and social media for the poor mental health in young people but how accurate is this accusation?  This podcast considers what the research says and how certain we can be about the effects of screens on teens.   If you want to find out more you can read about the research on my Mental Elf blog.  If you'd like to join me next week for my webinar tickets are available here.

Synne Stensland, Spencer Murray and André Tomlin from the Mental Elf sit down for a conversation on how to centre the community and practitioners, rather than researchers, in our conversation around trauma and treatment.

Edilma Yearwood, Past President of the International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses Examining the Evidence on Mental Health Literacy and Stigma Reduction in Low and Middle-Income Countries Anthony Jorm defines mental health literacy as the “knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders which aid their recognition, management or prevention (1997, p. 182).” This presentation will explore types and impact of stigma on individuals and communities dealing with mental illnesses and describe the role of mental health literacy in healthcare. Existing evidence on stigma reduction associated with increasing mental health literacy among care providers, families and individuals challenged by psychiatric symptoms in low-and middle-income countries will be presented. Dr. Edilma Yearwood is a certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatric-Mental Health nurse with over 40 years of clinical, teaching and research experience. She is Chair of the Department of Professional Nursing Practice at Georgetown University in the School of Nursing & Health Studies. https://twitter.com/Mental_Elf/status/1172443118538383360

Professor Ricardo Araya, Lead of the Global Mental Health Research Group and Director of the Centre for Global Mental Health, King’s College London Global mental health: how to fill in the gap https://twitter.com/Mental_Elf/status/1172130362484494336 Professor Araya will present some basic information on global mental health, with a focus on low-and-middle income countries. The huge treatment gap and the reasons leading to this situation will be highlighted. Some successful innovative solutions that have been used in an attempt to fill in this gap will be presented and. Among these the role of task-shifting in so far as transferring the healthcare of people with mental health problems to non-medical doctors and the role technology can play assisting this strategy. He will attempt to draw some lessons from this experience that can be applied to more developed countries.

Introduction by The Mental Elf

André Tomlin, The Mental Elf, interviews the Project PERFECT team at the University of Birmingham to find out how unusual beliefs offer philosophers of mind the opportunity to challenge mental health stigma.

Episode Notes André Tomlin started the website The Mental Elf back in 2011 and he has built it into a remarkable and detailed resource with 100s of contributors and a constant stream of freely available advice on research relevant to mental health. He's also had personal experience of postnatal depression and he talks about that and the evidence on this neglected and under-researched area in men. We also discuss the important network meta-analysis recently published in the Lancet looking at anti-depressants.

Claudia Hammond's guest today is Tim Dalgleish a clinical psychologist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge. Transient global amnesia is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that can't be attributed to a more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy or a stroke. Following a letter from a listener who suffered an episode of this curious condition we were intrigued to find out how it is triggered and what's really occurring in the brain. Claudia Hammond spoke with Adam Zeman, Professor of Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology at Exeter University. Is the enthusiasm for mindfulness in schools running ahead of the evidence? The skill of learning to become aware of what's going on around you and in your body and mind at a given moment has been shown to benefit people who've had recurrent episodes of depression. An increasing number of schools are holding mindfulness classes. But when it comes to the research on its benefits in school, the results are mixed. Andre Tomlin started the blog Mental Elf which examines the evidence when it comes to mental health so we got him into the All in the Mind studio to help us examine what difference mindfulness does and doesn't make in school. The latest Insiders Guide to getting the best out of mental health services asks: how do you tell your friends and family that you are having difficulties with your mental health if this is something you've never broached with them before? We hear from Stephen Buckley, Head of Information at Mind, Lisa Rodriguez who has had mental health issues herself and has long experience of managing mental health services, psychiatrist Sri Kalidindi and GP Daniel Dietch. Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong condition which can affect how a child or adult communicates with and relates to other people. Scientists are still trying to understand the causes and why symptoms can range from the mild to the severe. The Somali language doesn't have a word for autism, so when Nura Aabe's son Zak was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and a half she was at a loss to explain the diagnosis to others in the Somali community in the UK. As she explains to Claudia Hammond she was inspired by her experience to write a play called Yusuf Can't Talk Producer: Adrian Washbourne.

#PreventableHarm. A special extended podcast of a 90-minute joint event run by The Lancet Psychiatry, University College London Division of Psychiatry, and the Mental Elf on July 20, 2016. A panel consisting of people from medical, nursing, and service user backgrounds ask if risk assessment in mental health can be evidence-based, and answer audience questions.

Over the last decade mindfulness has grown in popularity and is recommended in many settings such as the NHS, schools, the work place and prisons. But how strong is the scientific data? Mental Elf blogger Andre Tomlin and Professor Willem Kuyken review the evidence. All in the Mind Awards Judge Marion Janner talks to Claudia Hammond on the mindfulness of gardening and how to take part in the awards. Plus the search for rest: is being slothful still a sin? New research from Valerie Voon, a Consultant Neuropsychiatrist at Cambridge University, uncovers what's happening in the brains of people with compulsive sexual behaviour. The results suggest that the constant supply of novel images from the internet can drive this behaviour and Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist Graham Music discusses how the findings could be translated to the clinic.
