Scientists have discovered fossils that might have belonged to the heaviest animal in Earth's history. The blue whale holds the current record as the largest creature to live on Earth. But a collection of bones found in Peru might break that record. Researchers recently introduced the whale species in a study in the publication Nature. It is called Perucetus colossus, or “the colossal whale from Peru.” Each back bone, or vertebra, weighs more than 100 kilograms. The animal's ribs measure nearly 1.4 meters long. Mario Urbina discovered the bones in 2012. He is with the University of San Marcos' Natural History Museum in Lima. An international team spent years digging them out from the side of a rocky hill in the Ica desert.科学家们发现了可能属于地球历史上最重动物的化石。蓝鲸保持着目前地球上最大生物的记录。但在秘鲁发现的一组骨头可能会打破这一记录。研究人员最近在《自然》杂志上的一项研究中介绍了鲸鱼的种类。它被称为Perucetus colossus,或“来自秘鲁的巨型鲸鱼”。每块背骨或椎骨重超过 100 公斤。该动物的肋骨长近1.4米。Mario Urbina 于 2012 年发现了这些骨头。他在利马圣马科斯大学自然历史博物馆工作。一个国际团队花了数年时间从伊卡沙漠的一座岩石山坡上挖出了它们。The area was once underwater and is known for its rich collection of ocean fossils. The find resulted in 13 backbone vertebrae, four ribs and a hip bone. The large fossils date back to around 39 million years ago. Alberto Collareta is a paleontologist at Italy's University of Pisa. He was a lead writer of the study. He told The Associated Press the fossils were “unlike anything I've ever seen.” Hans Thewissen is a paleontologist at Northeast Ohio Medical University who did not take part in the research. He said, “It's just exciting to see such a giant animal that's so different from anything we know." After the digging operation, the researchers used 3D scanners to study the surface of the bones and also looked inside. The researchers used the huge but incomplete skeleton to estimate the whale's size and weight, said Eli Amson. He is a paleontologist at the State Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart, Germany.该地区曾经位于水下,以其丰富的海洋化石而闻名。这次发现发现了 13 块脊椎骨、四块肋骨和一块髋骨。这些大型化石的历史可以追溯到大约 3900 万年前。阿尔贝托·科拉雷塔 (Alberto Collareta) 是意大利比萨大学的古生物学家。他是该研究的主要作者。他告诉美联社,这些化石“与我见过的任何东西都不一样”。汉斯·泰维森 (Hans Thewissen) 是东北俄亥俄医科大学的古生物学家,他没有参与这项研究。他说:“看到如此巨大的动物真是太令人兴奋了,它与我们所知道的任何东西都如此不同。”挖掘作业结束后,研究人员使用 3D 扫描仪研究了骨头的表面,并观察了内部。研究人员使用了巨大但德国斯图加特国家自然历史博物馆的古生物学家伊莱·阿姆森 (Eli Amson) 说,利用不完整的骨骼来估计鲸鱼的大小和重量。The team estimates the ancient creature weighed somewhere between 85 and 340 metric tons. The biggest blue whales found have been within that range, at about 180 metric tons. The body of Perucetus colossus stretched about 20 meters long. Blue whales can be longer, with some growing to more than 30 meters. This means the newly discovered whale was "possibly the heaviest animal ever,” said the University of Pisa's Collareta. But, he added, “it was most likely not the longest animal ever.” The research team said one reason the animal weighs more is because its bones are much denser and heavier than a blue whale's bones. Those super-dense bones suggest the whale may have spent its time in less deep, coastal waters, the scientists said. Other animals that stay close to the coast, like manatees, have heavy bones to help them stay close to the seafloor.研究小组估计这种古代生物的重量在 85 至 340 吨之间。发现的最大蓝鲸也在这个范围内,重约 180 吨。巨鲵的身体长达约20米。蓝鲸可以更长,有的可以长到30多米。比萨大学的科拉雷塔说,这意味着新发现的鲸鱼“可能是有史以来最重的动物”。但是,他补充说,“它很可能不是有史以来最长的动物。”研究小组表示,这种动物体重增加的原因之一是它的骨头比蓝鲸的骨头更致密、更重。科学家们说,这些超致密的骨头表明鲸鱼可能在较浅的沿海水域度过了它的时光。靠近海岸的动物,如海牛,有厚重的骨头,帮助它们靠近海底。Amson, from the State Museum of Natural History in Germany, said that without the skull, it is hard to know what the whale was eating to support such a huge body. It is possible that the large creature sought food along the seafloor, the researchers said. Or it could have eaten up tons of smaller sea life in the ocean. Thewissen added that he would not be surprised “if this thing actually fed in a totally different way that we would never imagine.”德国国家自然历史博物馆的阿姆森表示,如果没有头骨,很难知道鲸鱼靠吃什么来支撑如此庞大的身体。研究人员表示,这种大型生物有可能沿着海底寻找食物。或者它可能会吃掉海洋中大量较小的海洋生物。Thewissen 补充说,“如果这东西实际上以一种我们从未想象过的完全不同的方式进食,他不会感到惊讶。”

“The complementary—and some would say—diametrically opposite—clinical methods of the dermatologist and the neurologist can in these circumstances reduce an otherwise dauntingly large differential into a more tractable, smaller list.” In this episode of the Neurophilia Podcast, we discuss the fascinating relationship between Neurology and Dermatology, review the various pathologies shared between these two systems, and highlight the art of medicine between two specialists, Dr. Blake Buletko and Dr. Eliot Mostow. Dr. Blake Buletko is a vascular neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic. He completed his residency and fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic and was the former medical director of their mobile stroke program. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Buletko serves as an Assistant Professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and is the current Program Director of the Adult Neurology Residency program for the Cleveland Clinic.Dr. Eliot Mostow is the Professor and Chair of the Dermatology Section at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He is the President of Akron Dermatology and has served the Akron Ohio community for nearly 30 years.

In this episode we discuss anxiety. Over the past few years, we have all experienced our share of anxiety. Stress can be a natural part of our lives as a response to events that occur in relation to our jobs, our families or our health. But what happens when stress transforms from a nuisance to a debilitating condition that impacts all aspects of our lives? How do we even know if we have a problem with anxiety? Are there ways to restructure our lives and lifestyles to better handle stress? When should we seek professional help and what does that help entail? And what is the right balance between success and the stress that comes with it? To answer these questions and many more we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Dimitrios Tsatiris. Dr. Tsatris is a practicing board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the field of anxiety management. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of psychiatry at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He studies and writes about the interface of anxiety and achievement. His popular Psychology Today blog “Anxiety in High-Achievers” is viewed by more than 20,000 readers per month. He has given a TEDx talk on the subject titled “Why Success Won't Make You Happy.” His writings have appeared in Psychology Today, PsychCentral, NAMI, ThriveGlobal, KevinMD and the White Coat Investor, among other publications.
This episode deals with the question of weight gain from antipsychotic medication: I'm on 20 milligrams of olanzapine. It's helping me and I don't want to change it. The only thing is that I've gained a lot of weight that makes me feel very unattractive. I've spoken to my psychiatrist about it, but I haven't gotten any guidance on the matter. Are there any solutions to weight gain from this kind of medicine? Modern antipsychotic medications can be very helpful for some people. And they are less likely to cause neurological side effects, compared to their first-generation predecessors. However, many of these newer medicines can cause someone to gain significant amounts of weight. This is a serious problem that the psychiatric profession (in my view) has been very slow to address. In this episode, Dr. Erik Messamore describes several strategies that can reduce the risk of medication-related weight gain or that can reverse weight gain once it has started. Strategy 1. Choose antipsychotic medications with low weight gain risk Different antipsychotic medications come with different degrees of weight gain risk. Table 1 in this open-access medical journal article lists medications with higher or lower risk of weight gain. The graph in this article also illustrates the differences in weight gain risk among the various antipsychotic medications. Strategy 2. Switch to an antipsychotic medication with lower weight gain risk People who have gained weight from higher-risk medications – like quetiapine (Seroquel) or olanzapine (Zyprexa), for example – may lose weight after switching to a lower-risk medication. On the other hand, some people (like the person who sent in today's question) might mostly like their current medication, or may not want to take the risks involved in medication switching (e.g., the switched-to medication might not work as well, or might have other side effects). In situations like these, there are several weight loss options worth considering. Strategy 3. Diet and exercise to reduce weight from antipsychotic medication Many studies show that antipsychotic-induced weight gain does respond to standard diet or exercise interventions. A relatively small reduction of 150 calories per day can lead to about 16 pounds of weight loss over a year. For many people, that can be achieved by sticking to natural, whole foods and avoiding processed foods with a lot of carbohydrates or added sugars. Exercise and physical activity can enhance weight loss. And numerous studies show that exercise can improve mood, reduce anxiety, increase cognitive performance, and reduce symptoms of psychosis. Very low carbohydrate diets like the ketogenic diet are popular these days. These diets are designed to reduce insulin levels, which can make it easier to lose weight (because insulin is a fat-storage signal). Many people who undertake these diets can maintain calorie deficits without feeling hungry. Several case reports and a small clinical study suggest that the low-carb/ketogenic diet might help some people with schizophrenia, psychosis, or bipolar disorder to experience fewer symptoms. Strategy 4. Metformin to reduce weight from antipsychotic medication Metformin is a widely-used treatment for type-2 diabetes. It improves the body's insulin signals and reduces spikes in blood sugar. Metformin can also help people without diabetes to lose weight. And there are many studies showing the metformin can reduce weight in people who have gained weight from antipsychotic medications. Strategy 5. GLP-1 Agonists to reduce weight from antipsychotic medication GLP-1 is an abbreviation for glucagon-like peptide 1. The GLP-1 agonist drugs mimic the action of natural GLP-1. They optimize the body's insulin responses and reduce appetite. Some of these medications – liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda); semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) – even have FDA approval for treating obesity. Lirgalutide has been studied in weight gain from antipsychotic medication and appears to produce more weight loss than metformin. Strategy 6. Melatonin might reduce weight gain from antipsychotic medications This episode mentions that some studies show that melatonin might reduce the amount of weight gained from antipsychotic medication, while at the same time helping to further reduce symptoms of psychosis. The studies referred to are: Romo-Nava F et al. (2014) Melatonin attenuates antipsychotic metabolic effects: an eight-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial Modabbernia A et al. (2014) Melatonin for prevention of metabolic side-effects of olanzapine in patients with first-episode schizophrenia: randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Mostafavi A et al. (2014) Melatonin decreases olanzapine induced metabolic side-effects in adolescents with bipolar disorder: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Summary and suggestions Although the psychiatric profession has been slow to respond to the problem of antipsychotic-related weight gain, there are several options that can reduce the risk of weight gain or that can help someone lose weight. Many psychiatrists are aware of these options and are willing to help. But in cases where the psychiatrist does not know about these options or does not have experience with prescribing medications to assist with weight loss, it's likely that a general practice doctor or an endocrinologist does. The goal of treatment is always to maximize improvement and to avoid side effects whenever possible. And in cases where side effects are unavoidable, the goal should be to minimize them as much as possible. If you're concerned about weight gain, there are options and solutions. Your health care provider should be able to address them, or refer you to someone who can.

What is akathisia? Akathisia is a relatively common medication side effect. Akathisia is a feeling of restlessness that many people find difficult to describe. Many people with akathisia say that it makes them feel like they would like to crawl out of their skin. What does akathisia feel like? Akathisia can be just an uncomfortable feeling. But for many people that feeling of restlessness translates into not being able to sit still. (Akathisia comes from Greek words that mean “not able to sit down”). It can involve fidgeting, or not being able to sit down or lie down for very long without having to move. Akathisia can manifest as walking or pacing as well. What causes akathisia? Akathisia is sometimes a symptom of neurological illnesses (like Parkinson's disease), but most of the time akathisia is a medication side effect. Medications used to treat psychosis or schizophrenia are the most common cause of akathisia. But antidepressants can cause akathisia. So can some treatments for nausea or vomiting. Akathisia treatment Akathisia is relatively easy to treat. The most common treatments for akathisia are: reducing the dose of the medication that's causing it, or getting rid of the medication and switching to a different one. The most common medication treatments for akathisia are propranolol or lorazepam. Other treatment options that have been studied include: cyproheptadine, vitamin B6, benztropine (Cogentin), or diphenhydramine (Benadryl). In this week's episode, Melissa and Dr. Erik answer questions like: What is akathisia? What causes akathisia? What are the best treatments for akathisia? Topics covered: 0:44 What is Akathisia? 02:11 Akathisia can consist of feelings or of movements. 3:32 What causes Akathisia? 6:36 Akathisia is a frequently missed or unrecognized side effect. 7:59 Why is Akathisia an often-unrecognized side effect? 10:40 The feeling of Akathisia is hard to express 14:25 A description of what Akathisia looks like 20:20 What to do when a medical problem does not respond to textbook solutions? 23:59 Antidepressant medications can cause Akathisia 26:17 Some medications for nausea or vomiting can cause Akathisia. 28:25 A tragic story of missed Akathisia in the emergency department 30:18 Advice and possible solutions for someone who might be experiencing restlessness 33:07 Weighing your options and choosing the right medications About the Podcast: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

This week's listener question was “is there any new research about curing anosognosia?” Anosognosia is a medical term derived from Greek root words that mean “lack of disease knowledge.” Although anosognosia started off as a neurological concept, it's also very common for people with psychiatric conditions to have no awareness that their symptoms are unusual, or that they could indicate the presence of a mental illness. Emerging data suggest that impaired insight in mental illness might -- like neurological anosognosia -- involve those outer layers of the right side of the brain. It turns out that a unique form of brain stimulation that activates the right brain can temporarily reverse anosognosia in people who have had strokes... and in people with insight-impairing bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. The studies are small. And the findings are preliminary. But the results open the possibility of treating bipolar disorder or schizophrenia without medications. And the data also suggests very strongly that insight impairment in psychosis is more like the anosognosia typically seen in neurological disorders than the commonly assumed psychological denial or willful disregard. Companion YouTube video about vestibular stimulation as a possible mania-reducing, psychosis-reducing, and insight-improving treatment in bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Topics covered 1:01 – What is anosognosia? 1:45 – Is anosognosia a form of psychological denial? 3:19 – Psychological defense mechanisms versus willful denial of illness? 4:15 – The difference between denial and anosognosia 4:40 – History of the anosognosia concept 7:28 – What types of brain injury can cause anosognosia? 10:05 – What are some functions of the cerebral cortex? 12:03 – Can anosognosia be a feature of psychiatric conditions? 12:30 – Lack of illness awareness is common in psychiatric conditions 15:08 – An example of insight impairment in schizophrenia 18:26 – Can psychiatric treatment improve insight or illness awareness? 22:36 – What can family or friends do? 22:52 – The controversy of involuntary treatment 26:00 – Strong caring relationships are better than strong logical arguments 28:23 – Do neurological factors contribute to lack of illness awareness in psychiatric conditions? 29:45 – A simple procedure that can temporarily reduce symptoms and improve insight 34:13 – The possibly paradigm-shifting significance of vestibular stimulation studies Quotes It's been said that people are persuaded by the strength of relationships more so than by the strength of logic. If you look at people that have had bipolar mania or manic episodes because of brain injuries, then you'll find that about 60% of those individuals have brain damage to the right side of the brain only, and about 10% have brain damage to the left side of the brain. We can temporarily create small windows of insight or temporarily eradicate anosognosia in stroke victims by this cold-water simulation in the left eardrum. And we can do the same thing with schizophrenia and mania, apparently. Resources The book I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help! How to Help Someone Accept Treatment by Xavier Amador is one of the most helpful resources for friends or family members to understand anosognosia/illness unawareness and how to befriend, support, and effectively encourage someone to accept treatment.

Can Antidepressants Reduce Self-Harm? Self-harm is a common behavior. About 1 in 8 children and up to 1 in 5 adolescents will deliberately injure themselves without suicidal intent. But even without suicidal intention, self-harm is an alarming and potentially dangerous behavior. Self-harm is a sign that something is wrong… but what's the best way to help? It's not uncommon for someone with self-harming behavior to be prescribed an antidepressant. Most of us would think that someone who is repeatedly harming themselves is very sad or depressed. So, it's not surprising that doctors might prescribe an antidepressant. But it raises several questions like: What causes self-harming behavior? Can antidepressants reduce self-harming behavior? What are the risks? Are there any non-medication alternatives to treat self-harming behavior? Melissa and Dr. Erik address these questions and more in this episode of Ask A Psychiatrist. Episode highlights 2:10 – What do antidepressant medications do? 3:34 – The types of conditions that “antidepressants” can be useful to treat. 4:36 – Conditions that might be worsened by antidepressant medications. 5:35 – Some less-publicized side effects of antidepressant medications. 7:00 – Why it's useful to know about the possible side effects of any medication. 8:32 – How feelings of numbness happen, and how numbness can drive self-harming behavior. 10:13 – Differences in medication response speak to differences in the cause of the symptoms that the medication was prescribed to treat. 11:36 – What we diagnose as “depression” has many different underlying causes. 12:59 – Are there differences in how children or adolescents respond to antidepressant medications? 14:13 – Antidepressant use in children or adolescents is associated with slightly but significantly increased risk for suicide. 16:04 – Could antidepressant medications increase self-harming behavior risk? 17:46 – What are the causes of self-harming behavior? 19:30 – Self-harming to regulate emotions. 23:09 – Self-harming to change the flow of a discussion or the power in a relationship. 24:49 – The limitations of antidepressant medication as a treatment for self-harming behavior. 26:10 – Are there ways to treat self-harming behavior that don't involve medication? Notable quotes “I sometimes say that drugs don't know what they're supposed to do… It turns out that drugs like the antidepressant medications do many things beyond just maybe treating depression.” “It's really helpful to know what the potential downsides are so that you don't mistake a side effect for the symptom of some illness and then get more medicine instead of less medicine.” “If the room is dark, it could be because somebody turned off the light switch… it could be because there's no electricity running into the building… it could be because there are dark curtains over the lights and the windows. There are many pathways to darkness in a room. And there are probably equally many pathways to depression in a human being.” “What we call depression is almost certainly a whole bunch of different underlying processes that have similar top-level symptoms. That the diversity is the most likely explanation for why some people get great results from a particular medicine while others get no results and others get worse.” About the Podcast: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (also called CHS) is the topic of this week's episode. Melissa and Dr. Erik answer the question “How can something that's an anti-vomiting medicine be the cause of a vomiting illness”? Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome involves symptoms like loss of appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Vomiting attacks come in waves or cycles. A vomiting attack can last many hours or several days and can be severe enough to cause dehydration or a host of other serious complications. Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome affects some people who use cannabis regularly. The typical CHS patient will have used cannabis nearly daily for several years. However, there are cases of CHS developing in people who have used it as little as once per week for 6 months. Time and topics 1:41 -- What is cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome? 2:53 -- Symptoms are often relieved by hot water baths or showers 04:30 -- The first report of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome was published in 2004 05:45 -- Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome might have been around longer, but not recognized 06:29 -- Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome might be the result of stronger cannabis being easier to get and use regularly 07:12 -- Why has CHS not more widely known? 08:41 -- It's not profitable to publicize CHS 10:48 -- Why don't cannabis companies warn consumers? 14:00 -- Cannabis prohibition was a bad policy 15:16 -- State governments are mostly silent about CHS 18:40 -- Knowing about risks is important for consumers to make informed decisions 22:29 -- Is CHS dangerous? What are the possible complications of CHS? 26:26 -- How often and for how long before cannabis use poses a risk of CHS? 28:49 -- Treatments for the active phase symptoms of CHS 31:55 -- The definitive treatment for CHS 33:51 -- What to do if you think you might have CHS 34:59 -- The leading theory about what causes CHS 36:51 -- Tips for stopping cannabis use Notable quotes “If you don't know that something exists, it's hard to see it.” “This could be a newly-recognized fallout from greater access to higher strength, longer-term use of cannabinoids.” “There can be extremely important medical information that gets published, that probably everybody ought to know about. But there's just not a mechanism to disseminate the kind of information to people… Absent funding to disseminate knowledge at scale, knowledge dissemination happens at a trickle” “Because of prohibition, we know relatively little scientifically about marijuana's risk profile. Through prohibition policies, you've made cannabis way popular. And through prohibition policies, you've made its safety profile a subject of debate” “States, in my view, have done a good thing by trying to make a substance available that might help people… But the idea of having a state government endorse marijuana as a medicine, display medical benefits on their website, and not say one word about risks is irresponsible” “You're not supposed to feel nauseated. You're not supposed to have unexplained appetite loss. And you're certainly not supposed to be vomiting a lot. So, if you have any of those things, do get checked out.” “It can become very confusing. How can something that is supposed to help with vomiting cause vomiting? The answer is because the body develops tolerance, and the body wants to kind of fight back against whatever the drugs are making it do. So, if you take a drug constantly, which turns down the vomiting response, the parts of your brain that regulate vomiting, are actively pushing back against the action of the drug. In chronic suppression of the vomiting system, the vomiting system like builds muscle and gets stronger.” “You might be one of these people for whom the body has just revved up its vomiting machinery. The only way to get back to normal is to put a pause to cannabis use and let the body's vomiting machinery get unwound back to its normal state.” “Recovery is not a solo sport. Recovery is a team effort. So, if you put a pause on cannabis and your stomach is feeling better, then do get friends, get family, get new friends, find online support groups, find a new team, or enhance your current team to help you to support you, so that you can try to figure out other things to do what cannabis used to be doing for you.” “A whole lot of people who are in recovery have been where you're at. And they will lend you some confidence and probably all sorts of love and support in trying to help you to get to a better quality of life.” “Nobody wants you to stop weed and suffer. Everybody wants you to stop weed and to have, you know. a more awesome life as a result.” About the Host: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

Dimitrios Tsatiris, MD is a practicing board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the field of anxiety management. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of psychiatry at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He studies and writes about the interface of anxiety and achievement. His popular Psychology Today blog “Anxiety in High-Achievers” is viewed by more than 20,000 readers per month. He is passionate about empowering people to break free from the shackles of anxiety and develop a healthy relationship with achievement. His writing has appeared in Psychology Today, PsychCentral, NAMI, ThriveGlobal, KevinMD and the White Coat Investor, among other publications. Dr. Tsatiris enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children. He also keeps close ties with family in Greece and has fond memories from his childhood there. We hope you enjoy this episode of leading the rounds where we discuss the intersection of anxiety and performance. Questions we asked: It seems paradoxical that high performers struggle with anxiety. What do you think is the root of the intersection of performance and anxiety? Can you speak more about the biological roots of anxiety? Why might the people who we often believe have everything together be struggling with anxiety? How can someone balance chancing excellence but being okay with failing? How do we build a society that doesn't overvalue perfection? How would you define stress and how can leaders work to manage stress? Can how we look at stress impact how it affects us? What do you see is the role for exposure therapy in the management of anxiety? How have you as a provider been able to manage your stress through the pandemic? What is the relationship between grit and anxiety? What is the difference between the experience of anxiety and clinical anxiety? What would you tell future leaders about managing their anxiety throughout their training? Quotes & Ideas: “To have anxiety is to be human” “Pressure is fuel for anxiety” Anxiety often is the fear of being vulnerable. This can manifest as fear of danger or fear of being ostracized from the group. “What excellence does is it allows you to have a growth mindset.” “One can try to strive for perfection but it is an unattainable and unsustainable expectation.”Affect forecasting: We pursue things that we believe will make us happy. We often assume that success and money will make us happy. “We combat perfectionism by combatting the myth associated with personal success. Success does not equal personal happiness.” “If you're under constant stress, that is not healthy.” “Let's face your fears at your own pace… exposure is gradual steps towards reaching and conquering your fear.” A challenge of the pandemic has been maintaining safe distancing, but also recognizing the physical and mental benefits of physical connection. Ways Dr. Tsatiris manages his mental health: Regular exercise, gratitude meditation, connection with others, and taking moments to pause “Yes you can be gritty and also have anxiety.” “An anxiety disorder is when it begins to affect your day to day functioning.” “The goal is not the absence of anxiety, but making it manageable.” “When we have anxiety, we are not being present in the moment… what meditation does is it brings you back to the present by focusing on your breath.” Book Suggestions: Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl
Psychosis is a word that gets spoken a lot, but that gets discussed very little. About 1 of every 11 people will experience psychosis at some point in their lives. But even though it's a common experience, we hardly ever talk about it. In this episode of Ask A Psychiatrist, Dr. Erik Messamore and Melissa Xenophontos discuss psychosis. Dr. Messamore explains what psychosis is, how it happens, and what to do about it. We learn that it's easier to understand – and probably more accurate – to think of psychosis as a misperception syndrome. Psychosis by itself is not a standalone diagnosis. Rather, it's a symptom that can have many different causes. It's important that anyone experiencing psychosis have a thorough medical and neurological evaluation to look for the cause. A medical explanation needs to be ruled out before viewing psychosis as a symptom of a mental illness. Mental Health America has an online questionnaire that can help someone determine if they are experiencing psychosis. Dr. Mesamore's website has a blog post that lists the recommended medical tests to rule out medical causes of psychosis. Click here if you'd like to ask a question or suggest a topic to address in a future episode. If you've found this information helpful, please share it with your network! KEY TAKEAWAYS: (02:00) – No standardized definition of psychosis, introduced in medical literature around 1843 (03:04) – Psychosis should be thought of as misperception syndrome (04:45) – The brain receives about 11 million bits of information per second but conscious awareness works at about 50 bits per second. The necessary “information editing” is where a lot of misperceptions can develop. (09:00) – Misperceived significance can lead to the unusual ideas that often arise in psychosis (13:23) – Psychosis has many possible causes (15:00) – Progression of how to treat psychosis (18:56) – Medications can be a helpful piece of treatment, but should usually not be the only kind of treatment (21:04) – The goal of treatment is to get unquestionably better (22:39) – It's important to talk about side effects in order to avoid or reduce them (25:12) – Specific symptoms of psychosis QUOTABLE: “The accurate way to think about psychosis is a misperception syndrome or a phenomenon, technically and realistically it is best to think about psychosis as a neurological symptom.” “Conscious awareness is kind of like the dashboard of the entire brain processing.” “Psychosis is fairly easy to recognize, but once it's recognized, the next step should not be an assumption that there's a mental illness. The next step should be the assumption that there's a medical disease going on that needs to be figured out and treated quickly.” “There are about 50 different diseases that can cause psychosis as a symptom… about 100 different medications or drugs which can cause psychosis as a side effect.” “Nobody should assume that psychosis means schizophrenia at all – it could be many other things.” “The goal of treatment is to restore a person's function – the treatment should work; the treatment should make somebody better.” “Any clinician who is worth having should be extremely interested in hearing side effects, and should work with you to prevent, reduce, or eliminate them.” About the Host: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

There are so many forms of therapy today that it can be hard to decide which is best for you. One of these types is “psychotherapy,” which sounds a lot scarier than it is. In this episode of “Ask a Psychiatrist” we learn about what psychotherapy is, how it can benefit your thought life, and why fears about undergoing psychotherapy still persist. Dr. Erik Messamore explains the history of psychotherapy and how Freud's findings dominated professional psychiatric thinking for decades. After about the 1960s or so, Dr. Messamore explains, psychology underwent enormous strides to get us to our modern psycho-pharmacological thinking. And it is better than it's ever been. Discussing both the therapy methods and our evolving understanding of psychoactive drugs, Dr. Messamore tears away the veil and shows why psychotherapy is nothing to be afraid of. Differing from “supportive listening,” true psychotherapy targets the causes of psychological symptoms and provides a framework for handling them in your day-to-day life. Whether or not medications are necessary is decided on a case-by-case basis, but the interesting thing is that the relationship between your thoughts and your brain chemistry is reciprocal. Mood-altering drugs can “correct” brain chemistry, but so can corrective thoughts. What each person needs for their own therapy will vary. Overall, psychotherapy is not a form of healthcare that should be feared. Your doctor will help you feel safe, comfortable, and help you to understand every step of the therapeutic process. To fear this is to miss out on great work you can do in your own life. Click here if you'd like to ask a question or suggest a topic to address in a future episode. If you've found this information helpful, please share it with your network! KEY TAKEAWAYS: (03:00) – Fear of psychotherapy is common—but it can be overcome. (05:30) – Freud developed a technique called ‘psychoanalysis' to understand underlying urges in the subconscious (09:00) – Today, there are many psychotherapeutic approaches that don't require dredging up the past. (10:30) – The notion of “chemical imbalance” has a convoluted history. (15:00) – Chemical changes can constrain thoughts—but thoughts also affect brain functioning. (17:15) – Evidence-based research today has been able to improve the brain's “wiring,” enabling more effective connections between the parts that generate emotion and the parts that regulate emotion. (19:00) – When Dr. Messamore asks his patients if they have ever done any psychotherapy, and they too often say no. (21:30) – It's important to be given an explanation, in psychological terms, as to why symptoms are being produced. Psychotherapy would give patients a set of techniques to apply to their own situations. (23:45) – The data has shown that psychotherapeutic techniques can help patients get well. (25:30) – There should be measurable and noticeable improvements through proper therapy. (27:20) – A good therapist should be able to tell you all about the process and point you to the right research. (29:20) – Most people who enter the field are going to be looking out for your well-being. QUOTABLE: “Freud's view was that these top-level symptoms have, at their origin, a conflict between the id and super-ego.” “Psychoanalysis is a valuable and rich form of therapy, but it's certainly not for everyone.” “The research points to psychotherapeutic approaches that focus on the here and now.” “Saying antidepressants correct a chemical imbalance is extremely over-simplified and probably not applicable to every person experiencing a psychiatric symptom.” “For a person with depression, and who feels like a failure, it's much easier for them to believe that they may have just made some mistakes than to believe that everything is going to be alright.” “The data shows that the people who practice these techniques become well. They get better at regulating their own emotions.” “The right therapy should be deployed for the right condition.” “The goal is to be comfortable, and it's your therapist's job to guarantee that.” About the Host: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

Anyone who has ever felt anxiety (which pretty much includes all human beings) knows how uncomfortable it can be. In this episode of “Ask a Psychiatrist” we learn about our internal early-warning systems and what it means when our bodies and minds cascade into something more than experiencing the ordinary stressors of everyday life. Dr. Erik Messamore explains that anxiety usually consists of two separate but intertwined processes – the physiological “fight or flight” reaction AND a host of thoughts that usually involve forecasting something bad in the near or distant future. The good news for those of us locked in worry, tension, or panic is that scientists have been studying anxiety for over 100 years. We have a lot of knowledge about anxiety – not only how it works but also how to treat it. Covering both the physiological and psychological elements, Dr. Messamore breaks down the impacts of anxiety on the body as well as the thought patterns that can heighten those symptoms. He provides a framework for examining some of the successful behavioral interventions available as well as thoughts about the role of drug treatment options. Click here if you'd like to ask a question or suggest a topic to address in a future episode. If you've found this information helpful, please share it with your network! KEY TAKEAWAYS: (01:35) – Anxiety is a normal emotion – even helpful, despite often being uncomfortable. (02:56) – Some of the physical symptoms that signal anxiety: An uncomfortable, almost painful feeling of apprehension. Heart racing and difficulty catching one's breath. Muscle tension and hyper-vigilance (which often extends to interrupting sleep). Feelings of nausea, urgency to urinate or empty one's bowels. (04:26) – About thoughts that can either result from or precipitate anxiety: Ruminating on or catastrophizing about the future. High alert signals reach the brain and start a loop to justify the feeling. (07:24) – Anxiety involves two components: Physiological: Preparing the body to fight or flee. Thought: Drives or explains to the brain why this feeling exists. (08:00) – Anxiety is relatively easy to study because reliable, inexpensive instruments are available to study symptoms, which are mostly objectively measurable and observable. Three strategies for treating anxiety: (10:13) – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT): Offers tools to short-circuit anxious thoughts and physical reactions by redirecting responses that do not serve and tend to get locked into a negative loop. (17:10) – Systematic Desensitization: Some common phobias/anxieties may be hard-wired biologically and can be overcome by systematically titrating exposure to that which is threatening or fear-inducing. (Dr. Messamore shares detailed, vivid examples of this technique.) (22:46) – Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy: A treatment that identifies stressors in the brain and then subtly interrupts any source of reward/relief, initially causing discomfort but incrementally helping to build tolerance and new ways to manage anxiety. (27:12) – There are drug treatment options available as an alternative to behavioral therapies. In some cases they can modulate or block reflexive physiological symptoms so that patients can develop adaptive strategies for coping with stressors. (31:13) – A bit about SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) that are sometimes prescribed to get physiological responses in the body under control and opening the possibility of treating underlying psychological/emotional issues. (32:05) – Dr. Messamore explains that there are various approaches to treating anxiety, including the effective use of cognitive behavioral and drug treatment programs in combination. QUOTABLE: “(An anxiety disorder) can begin to take on a life of its own. It goes from something that is really annoying to something that can have the emotional power of a monster that wants to devour you.” “When your heartbeat starts to accelerate in response to a thought, then we have a scenario that I call ‘The Feel Makes It Real.' ” “Anxiety is a universal human experience. It's extremely uncomfortable.” “People who are anxiety-prone and suffer from anxiety disorders overwhelmingly … look into the future and provide a negative outcome. And thoughts drive emotions.” “Some people find that the physiological response of the body is just so overpowering that using psychological skills has limited value or almost no value at all.” “Medicine can be very helpful and the choice to use medicine or the decision about what is the right time is deeply personal.” “For most people it's ideal to use medicines that can control physiological response in combination with proven, evidence-based psychological therapies because the two of them feed from each other ... It accelerates the program.” “The good news is that anxiety has been studied longer and probably better than any other mood state in humans. We have a lot of techniques that can be very effective and have been proven.” About the Host: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

Why do anti-depressants seem to work well for some and not at all for others? In this episode of Ask a Psychiatrist, Dr. Erik Messamore takes on this question, offering practical information about the multi-faceted nature of depression and factors to consider in choosing from a range of treatment options. A clinician has more than half a dozen pathways to think about the cause of high blood pressure, each with its own family of medications available as possible treatments. But when it comes to depression? It's treated as a one-size-fits-all monolith – as if there are no variants or factors specific to the affected individual. Dr. Messamore has a different take, explaining the range of biological, environmental, social, and even spiritual variables that are relevant to mood. As a first step, Dr. Messamore underscores how important it is for patients, their families and most of all clinicians to put on a Detective's Hat: Keep track of symptoms and the progression of treatment; consider having a personality assessment done to better understand the individual's unique psychological landscape and tendencies; take a pro-active approach to researching and considering alternatives to a bio-chemical approach. When it comes to treatment options, they are as diverse as the nature of depression itself, which is why this episode of Ask a Psychiatrist not only describes some common types of depression but also an array of clinical strategies to augment or replace anti-depressant medications. Dr. Messamore also breaks down how drugs affect particular neurotransmitters and why Evidence-Based Psychotherapy can be a highly effective tool for responding to depression – especially those that are not genetically based. With the incidence of depression on the rise nationally, generation over generation, it's very likely that you or someone you love will encounter the complex and constantly evolving field of psychiatry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: (01:40) – Depression is not a single disease as defined by one set of symptoms or a single remedy. It's has many causes, and many treatment options. (06:31) – Some people respond to anti-depressants because they're experiencing a genetic deficiency in one of their neurotransmitters, but anti-depressants might also be curative because they increase a general feeling of well-being that encourages resilience. (10:10) – Why is it that – even with all the enhanced treatment options – the rates of depression keep going up and up? (13:34) – Dr. Messamore cites some of the many contributory components of depression and some of the interventions available, such as: Anti-depressants targeting specific neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine and glutamate. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Electro-Convulsive Therapy (15:50) – It's very important for people to know that serotonin isn't the only treatment option out there. (16:20) – Anti-depressants given at the right dose for the right period of time should lead to improvement. If the overall trendline is not towards relief, it's worthwhile to revisit the treatment with your provider. (18:28) – About Evidence-Based Psychotherapy and the use of personality or temperamental assessments in pinpointing/responding to depression. (20:35) – Two symptom clusters that are typical in depression and can help guide bio-chemical treatment approaches: Melancholic Depression: Loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, mood variation that tends to improve as the day goes on. A-Typical Depression: Tendency to sleep a lot, eat a lot (especially carbs) and respond with unusual sensitivity to relationship stressors. (25:11) – Dr. Messamore highlights some of the factors that can trigger a biological response and also play a role in the failure of bio-chemical treatments. (29:29) – Some strategies to consider if you're not getting the results you'd like from your anti-depressant medication: Establish what you're looking for in terms of quality of life and track your moods to determine if progress is being made. If multiple treatment options have failed, assess which drugs have been tried, to what degree they've been effective and whether there are external environmental factors that might be affecting outcomes. Consider undergoing an assessment to see whether you're one of a large subset of people whose personality or temperamental make-up undermines the efficacy of anti-depressants. QUOTABLE: “We're living in a time where we have more medication treatment options for depression than ever before … yet depression rates are growing. They're going up and up.” “It's important if you're not getting good results from Treatment A or Treatment B to press the pause button with your doctor and talk about all the options.” “The specific symptom cluster that we call Melancholic Depression might tip the scales in favor of assuming that biological factors are more relevant.” “The thing about perfectionism is that you can never achieve it. You can always envision something better than what you've currently got.” “It's really important for everybody involved – patients, their families and especially clinicians – to put on a Detective Hat as well as a Doctor Hat.” About the Host: Dr. Erik Messamore is a board-certified psychiatric physician and PhD-level pharmacologist.

Dr. Frank Papay is the chair of the Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Institute at the Cleveland Clinic Health System. He also is a physician who combines innovation with the healing arts of medicine. Dr. Papay has spearheaded the Cleveland Clinic’s work in the emerging field of face transplants among other notable surgical breakthroughs. He and a team of gifted surgeons have been featured for this work in National Geographic. Here is the full story: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/09/face-transplant-katie-stubblefield-story-identity-surgery-science/?user.testname=none He was part of the surgical team that performed the first “near-total” face transplant in the United States in 2008 and says that what was learned from that surgery has led to other medical discoveries. That first face transplant patient is still alive and doing well, according to Dr. Papay. She is a strong advocate for the surgery, he says. Dr. Papay talks about the extensive preparation that goes into the face transplant process from preparing the patient to picking a top-flight surgical team of numerous specialists. He also discusses the ethics underlying the procedure. The costs of the various face transplants has been supported by the Department of Defense, says Dr. Papay. The military is interested in this surgery to potentially restore the faces of soldiers who have suffered injuries in battle. Dr. Papay also is the holder of over 40 medical device patents. In 2017, he was inducted into National Academy of Inventors. One of his more recent innovations is a device that can modify the transmission of pain signals to the brain and help control cluster migraine headaches. He says that his innovative and entrepreneurial spirit has been cultivated and nurtured by “Forest Gump moments” – which he describes as serendipitous encounters with key people who have influenced his life and career. Dr. Papay received his undergraduate degree from Ohio University in 1975 and a master’s degree in biomedical engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1977. He received his medical degree from the Northeast Ohio Medical University in 1984 and a doctorate in management (entrepreneurship/entrepreneurial studies) from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in 2013.
