Podcasts about mental health research

Something exciting is happening in my hometown of Ottawa, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you on the podcast. Next week, from June 9th to the 13th, will be the inaugural Ottawa Innovation Week, a celebration of bold ideas, creative minds, and the game-changers who are driving the future of technology, business, arts, entertainment, and social impact right here in Canada's capital.

Evidence-based psychotherapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy, are the best tools we have to treat PTSD for most people–at least as long as those in need are able to access these therapies. A number of barriers may exist, such as availability of trained therapists, insurance coverage (or lack thereof), or even life stressors standing in the way. During the COVID-19 pandemic, trauma exposure exploded exponentially while at the same time access to care due to lockdowns and social distancing was severely diminished. In this episode of Practical for Your Practice, we chat with Dr. Sheila Rauch, one of the authors of the Prolonged Exposure Therapist Guide, about her many exciting projects to expand access to effective care for PTSD. As she explains, “the more doors that we have for people with PTSD to enter and get effective treatment, the more people are going to actually do that.” Join us for one of our new favorite episodes to hear about self-help approaches, PE in primary care, immediate interventions in emergency departments, and shifting the name of PE to “Processing Emotions.”Sheila A.M. Rauch, Ph.D., ABPP, co-led design and now serves as Deputy Director of the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program and Director of Mental Health Research and Program Evaluation at the Joseph Maxwell Cleland Atlanta VA Medical Center. For over 20 years, Dr. Rauch's work in VA and Academic Medical settings focuses on developing programs, conducting research, and providing PTSD and Anxiety Disorders treatment with the goal to improve access to effective mental health treatment. Her research focuses on examination of mechanisms involved in the development and treatment of PTSD and improving access to effective interventions. She has led several PTSD treatment outcome and mechanisms trials including pharmaceutical and therapy trials focused on moving interventions for PTSD into medical and primary care settings. She has published over 220 peer-reviewed scholarly articles as well as many chapters and six books on anxiety disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She developed an effective primary care based PTSD intervention that is in use across VA and many civilian settings and has also worked to get treatment out of the clinic and into the hands of those who need it with apps, self-guided workbooks, and web-based interventions. Her work examines neurobiology and factors involved in the development, maintenance, and treatment of anxiety disorders, psychosocial factors in medical settings, and the relation between physical health and anxiety. Her recent books include Retraining the Brain and Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences.Resources mentioned in this episode:Rauch, S. A. M., & Rothbaum, B. O. (2023).

Insight into what is meant by Patient Public Involvement (PPI), co-production and co-design and the difference between these terms. 2. Why it is important to include young people with lived experiences in mental health research and how to convince researchers that people with lived experiences have a meaningful contribution to make to the research process. 3. What counts as lived experience and whether it is necessary to have a formal diagnosis to be regarded as having lived experience. 4. Insight into the ‘ladder of participation' and other frameworks for participation. 5. How researchers can ensure that their engagement with people with lived experience is meaningful and not tokenistic and recommendations for researchers who want to engage with young people with lived experiences in their research.

por Yaiza Santos No suele hacerlo pero lo hizo: mirar el envés de las noticias felices. Así las tres escenas en un pueblo vasco que muestran el estatus de Eta o el acuerdo entre Israel y Hamás. Toda esa sangre vertida inútilmente. Muy bien Marco Rubio sobre la doble cárcel cubana, observó, y muy bien lo que dijo sobre Venezuela, especialmente señalando a Chevron y, por lo tanto, la cuestión crucial del petróleo, que ensucia, no solo en Estados Unidos sino en España, la decencia obligatoria contra el régimen de Maduro. ¡Pero veremos!, alertó. La política exterior americana, como el inminente secretario de Estado sabe y destacó, depende del presidente, y Trump –del que, oh, nuestro Tramposo quiere ser némesis–, pese a no tener ocho años seguidos de gobierno, no se estrena en el cargo. Y ya se sabe de la displicencia que caracteriza al pato cojo, y a este impune pato cojo en particular. Hablando de Trump, comentaron el caso de Groenlandia y su curioso nacionalismo. ¡Hay tantas cosas que Santos no sabe! Por ejemplo, que el caso de inmersión lingüística más parecido a Cataluña es el de las islas Feroe. Tuvo que ocuparse, de nuevo, de Juana Rivas. Fuera de toda discusión está que la perturbada necesita tratamiento urgente y atención médica constante, pero que a estas alturas siga teniendo prestigio público, ¡por parte incluso del gobierno!, es algo que encuentra alucinante. Lamentó la anunciada venta de Filmin, que tanta felicidad le ha supuesto en su vida, sobre todo la de ayudarle a encajar una película con su estado de ánimo, y celebró la maravilla descubierta en Gepetto, de acuerdo a un nuevo burning paper: ¡su excelente papel como terapeuta! Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Leanne Williams is an expert in depression. The first thing that she wants the world to know is that depression is not some sort of character flaw, but a real illness with symptoms that can impair one's ability to function day to day. The past decade has seen remarkable advances, she says, as functional MRI has opened new avenues of understanding depression's mechanisms and its treatments. These are hopeful times for the science of depression, Williams tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has wasted more than $40 billion on genetic/biological research for mental health while suicide rates have soared and communities have lost crucial support resources. This massive investment has produced little in the way of improved outcomes, betraying the public trust and enriching pharmaceutical companies. Dr. McFillin calls for a revolution in mental health research and language, emphasizing the need for accountability and shift in priorities.  RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

My motivational quote for today is by – Joshua J. Marine, “Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful” - Joshua J. Marine. I have learned that no one escapes tragedy or challenges in life.  There is no such thing as a perfect life or situation. That's life, filled with ups and downs!    Getting up, dusting off, and moving forward is the only control or approach we need to grow, learn, and, yes, even be happy.  Life can't be avoided unless you live in a cave, so how do we navigate difficult times? We need tools and strategies to help us get back up and move forward stronger, wiser, and more blessed.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/Er9SscxwNr8   About Julianne Mclean: Julianne is passionate about advocating for mental health and mental health research.
