Welcome to this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, where we dive into a topic that is of growing interest to parents and caregivers of children and adolescents with ADHD: integrative treatments for ADHD symptoms. Today's guest, Sara Langley, is an expert in Nutritional Psychiatry and will share valuable insights on how diet and integrative approaches can complement traditional ADHD treatments. ADHD is the most searched topic on ChildNEXUS, and our episodes on ADHD are among the most downloaded. It's clear that parents and caregivers are eager to learn about different options to support their children, and this episode is packed with useful information. Sara specializes in how diet can impact mood and behavior, and she offers practical advice on where to begin. She suggests some starting points, but acknowledges that making dietary changes can feel overwhelming, so she shares helpful tips for parents on how to start small and build from there. Throughout the episode, Sara discusses the common challenges faced by children with ADHD and the supplements that can help. While she emphasizes that nutrition isn't a “cure” for a problem, it is an important piece of the puzzle. Sara also highlights the strong connection between the gut and brain and how addressing this can benefit not only ADHD symptoms but overall well-being. If you're looking for new ways to support your child or simply curious about how integrative approaches can complement traditional treatments, you won't want to miss this episode!   Show Notes: [3:16] - Sara specializes in Nutritional Psychiatry, which is about how diet can impact mood and behavior. [5:16] - One good starting place that Sara recommends is to start integrating probiotics. [6:28] - Supplements are commonly asked about by parents of children with ADHD and there are several that could benefit as an addition to a vitamin rich diet. [9:17] - A lot of time, we cannot get the full nutritional benefit from the food we eat due to different factors. [10:43] - It can be very overwhelming to parents to make dietary changes. Sara gives some tips on where to start. [12:30] - Generally, children with ADHD have trouble falling asleep. There are supplements that can help with this as well. [13:53] - Nutrition is part of a puzzle. It isn't a “cure”. [17:18] - Working with a mental health professional or pediatrician can help guide a parent in choosing the right things for their child. [18:40] - There is a connection between the gut and the brain. [22:31] - It is tricky for many parents to make dietary changes due to the pickiness of their child as an eater and their need for quick dopamine through snacking. [23:47] - Some parents are seeking something different from medication. [25:59] - This integrative approach benefits more than ADHD symptoms.   About Our Guest: Sara Langley is a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who specializes in treating children and adolescents with brain-based medical conditions.

Since the 1950s, the go-to treatment for schizophrenia has been oral antipsychotics. However, the landscape of schizophrenia treatment is changing and evolving, from advancements in antipsychotic long-acting injections to promising new treatments targeting muscarinic receptors to different types of neuromodulation stimuli of the brain, and even new theories connecting schizophrenia to other diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and co-host Gabe Howard explore the innovations in schizophrenia treatment in this episode of “Inside Schizophrenia.” Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Desiree Matthews, who is at the forefront of helping people with treatment-resistant depression and schizophrenia, joins as a guest to discuss some of the current and upcoming treatments.

Practical Guide to Legislative Change as a Registered Nurse Learn about what level of government would make the changes you want to see. Find out: is this a federal, state, or local issue? Federal government example: Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) reimbursement rates for advanced practice nurses State government example: Scope of practice for advanced practice nurses Figure out WHO are the elected officials that represent you at that level of government because you are their constituent. It is their job to listen to your concerns! Best website: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials Federal legislators: One U.S. House of Representatives member (representing your congressional district, where you live in the state) and two senators (represent the entire state, not just your district) State legislators: State house representative and state senator (typically both represent a district within your state) Local officials:County/City Executive/Supervisor/Commissioners, etc. Learn about your elected officials! For example, to learn more about your U.S. House member, look them up at https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative. Select their name to bring you to their personal House.gov website, which includes the member’s committee assignments and their office’s contact information. Federal legislators will have at least two offices; one in Washington, DC, and one or more within the congressional district itself. Each office has federal congressional staffers working to address constituents’ concerns and provide official follow-up. There are options to call, fax, e-mail, or speak with staff in-person. Within the district office, these staff members typically include a constituent service representative. A U.S. House member specifically represents your district’s needs (including you as a constituent) to Congress more so than U.S. Senators, as they represent your entire state’s needs. If you are interested in a state issue, please be aware that state representatives and senators are “part-time” legislators. State legislative bodies typically meet in the first months of the year but occasionally are called back for special sessions. This website shows upcoming state legislative schedules: https://documents.ncsl.org/wwwncsl/About-State-Legislatures/2024-sessions-calendar.pdf Your state should have similar websites for its representatives and senators. These elected officials will likely have an office in your state’s capitol and within the district where staffers are available to address constituent concerns. It is important to be aware of your legislator’s committee assignments and if they serve in any kind of leadership role. Do they sit on a health committee? Are they the chair of a committee? Committee assignments often are related to the member’s legislative areas of expertise and related to their professional background before running for elected office. Committees will be the first place legislative change will be introduced, debated, and voted on before coming to the full legislative body. Sadly, many bills “die” in committee and thus, support from these smaller groups is needed first! Many organizations develop a form letter for you to send to a legislator regarding an issue or a specific bill. These are helpful but please be aware that if you cut/paste, sign, and send, your letter will be placed in a pile with the rest; depending on the size of the pile of form letters about one issue, this will impact how much attention the office and the elected official gives to a certain topic. Please take 5-10 minutes to personalize the form letter with your own experiences and always make sure to include in the first sentence that you are a constituent of the elected official (and maybe if you voted for them). Talk about how the congressional district is impacted by the issue specifically. Provide your background as a nurse and your contact information so the legislative staff may follow up with you about your experience and your expertise on the subject. Reach out to nursing organizations that may already be advocating for this issue.They may have a legislative “champion” that has sponsored bills in the past and is helping to move towards progress on this issue. Some nursing organizations are allowed to hire lobbyists, and some organizations cannot because of their tax filing statuses. Some nursing organizations have political action committees (PACs) that raise money to impact legislation. Nursing organizations can come together into coalitions in an effort to move forward complex legislative issues. Get to know your legislators as individuals. Often this happens by volunteering your time to help them out. Frequently during campaign season. Volunteering is easy and fun. The campaign provides you with all the training and materials. You just provide your time and enthusiasm. Examples: Phone banking (making phone calls to constituents), door knocking (walking around neighborhoods in the district, knocking on doors to offer information about the individual or leaving a hanger on their doorknob if not home or available), or different forms of fundraisers.

However, monoaminergic antidepressant therapies, which are currently considered the standard of care, have several limitations, such as slow therapeutic response times, suboptimal efficacy and remission rates, and adverse effects that may impact patient adherence.Recent research has focused on novel pathways involved in the etiology of depression, including glutamatergic and GABAergic modulation. For example, neuroactive steroids such as zuranolone act as positive allosteric modulators of the GABA-A receptor. In 2023, zuranolone became the first and only oral therapy to be approved for the treatment of postpartum depression. There have also been advances in glutamatergic antidepressants, with the approval of esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression in 2019 and for depression with acute suicidal ideation or behavior in 2020, as well as the approval of dextromethorphan-bupropion for the treatment of major depressive disorder in 2022.In order to help clinicians remain abreast of the latest treatment options for depression, PeerView recently held a Candid Conversations & Clinical Consults educational symposium, featuring a panel of psychiatric–mental health nursing faculty. These depression experts paired compelling, real-world case scenarios with practice-changing evidence to illustrate how to integrate novel and emerging treatments for depression into clinical practice, including strategies to identify patients who may benefit from these treatments, and how to use shared decision-making to craft individualized treatment plans.

However, monoaminergic antidepressant therapies, which are currently considered the standard of care, have several limitations, such as slow therapeutic response times, suboptimal efficacy and remission rates, and adverse effects that may impact patient adherence.Recent research has focused on novel pathways involved in the etiology of depression, including glutamatergic and GABAergic modulation. For example, neuroactive steroids such as zuranolone act as positive allosteric modulators of the GABA-A receptor. In 2023, zuranolone became the first and only oral therapy to be approved for the treatment of postpartum depression. There have also been advances in glutamatergic antidepressants, with the approval of esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression in 2019 and for depression with acute suicidal ideation or behavior in 2020, as well as the approval of dextromethorphan-bupropion for the treatment of major depressive disorder in 2022.In order to help clinicians remain abreast of the latest treatment options for depression, PeerView recently held a Candid Conversations & Clinical Consults educational symposium, featuring a panel of psychiatric–mental health nursing faculty. These depression experts paired compelling, real-world case scenarios with practice-changing evidence to illustrate how to integrate novel and emerging treatments for depression into clinical practice, including strategies to identify patients who may benefit from these treatments, and how to use shared decision-making to craft individualized treatment plans.

The polyvagal theory teaches us to engage our social nervous system to consciously inhibit our defense system. This allows us to find freedom from trauma symptoms and experience a deeply nourishing sense of safety in the here and now. Today we are talking to two members of our behavioral oncology team: Amber Estes, APRN, PMHNP-BC and Erica Wiley, LCSW about the polyvagal model and ways we can identify and exercise this important part of our nervous system to find peace in the face of past or present trauma.

Postpartum psychosis is a topic we have highlighted on the podcast before, but the need for more information about this devastating condition always increases when it is mentioned in a tragic news story. There are so many questions and concerns when this condition turns up in the national spotlight because many people don't understand what a mother might be going through as a result of postpartum psychosis. Regardless of the details around a specific situation, it is clear that factual information and education are needed more than ever around perinatal mental health. Join us for a closer look with today's guest. **Trigger warning: I want to give a heads up that our discussion does include the topic of infanticide, so please determine for yourself if you are able to listen to this episode if this is a sensitive subject for you.  Michele Davidson is a fellow board member with me at Postpartum Support International; she has multiple degrees and has been a certified nurse-midwife for almost 30 years, delivering more than 1000 babies in her career. After her personal battle with postpartum psychosis, she became a PMHNP with a specialization and certification in perinatal mental health to help other families who are suffering from this disorder. Dr. Davidson served as an associate professor of nursing at George Mason University and helped develop the certificate in forensic nursing. She was also the coordinator of the Ph.D. program, during which time her research focused on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. She co-developed the Davidson Conceptual Model of Prodromal Postpartum Psychosis Symptomatology, which has been used in reproductive psychiatry practice. She is the author of over 35 textbooks and 50 peer-reviewed articles, including the Nurse's Guide to Women's Mental Health, which was awarded the American Journal of Nursing Book Award, and Old's Maternal Newborn Nursing, which is published in 12 languages. On the current PSI Board of Directors, she serves as the Infanticide Coordinator and was the previous PPP Coordinator for 12 years. She resides with her husband in coastal Virginia and has four children and is the owner and founder of Chesapeake Bay Psychiatry, which specializes in perinatal mental health and serves families in VA, MD, and CT.  Show Highlights: A basic explanation of postpartum psychosis (PPP), which is just one of the conditions under the umbrella of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (along with depression, anxiety, and OCD) What the main risk factors are for PPP Why PPP is different from postpartum depression and has a very different presentation What the most common symptoms are of PPP, most of which are auditory or visual What it might look/sound like if a loved one is battling PPP What the statistics show about people with PPP relating to suicide and infanticide How and when psychosis might occur, both during pregnancy or the postpartum The connection between PPP symptoms and continual lack of sleep What it might feel like to experience the beginning stages of PPP How PPP symptoms can wax and wane–and how this characteristic plays out in the legal system and the stigma of PPP How PPP played out in Michele's life as evidence that it CAN happen to anyone, even without the common risk factors Why early intervention, perinatal specialists, and other support resources are vitally important Why it is important to not stop taking medications for mood and anxiety disorders Highlights of helpful resources for perinatal mental health Postpartum Psychosis Awareness Day is May 5!
