More than one-third of adults in the U.S. report experiencing a mental health condition or substance use disorder, yet less than half receive the treatment they need due to provider shortages, high costs, and gaps in coverage. Many individuals with behavioral health needs initially seek help in emergency departments or primary care settings, often leaving without proper treatment. To address this gap, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model in 2023, focusing on innovative solutions in eight states. A key element of this initiative is the collaborative care model—a proven, evidence-based approach that integrates behavioral health into primary care to enhance access, outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Despite its strong track record, adoption remains limited due to reimbursement and scalability challenges. In the last episode of this season of Therapy Cafe, join host and Psych Hub co-founder Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPCC, and Dr. Caroline Carney, President of Behavioral Health and Chief Medical Officer at Magellan Health, as they explore the principles of integrated care, delve into the collaborative care model, and examine how measurement-informed care can drive better outcomes.

Atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) is a sub-diagnosis for patients who meet all the criteria for anorexia, except for being underweight.

In this episode, Dr. Cara Bohon, licensed clinical psychologist, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, and Senior Vice President of Clinical Programs at Equip, will explore these diagnostic labels, assess the severity and treatment trajectory for patients with AAN compared to AN, and propose considerations for future diagnostic clarifications.   Learning Objectives: Explain the differences (or lack thereof) between atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) and anorexia nervosa Recognize the severity of AAN and the urgency for treatment Identify necessary components for treatments for AAN   If you'd like to obtain continuing education as a psychologist, counselor, social worker, or therapist you can purchase a one-year subscription to Psych Hub's training center.

This week, we are resharing one of our favorite episodes from this series—one that Psych Hub's own Co-Founder and CEO, Marjorie Morrison, in the hot seat. How do warriors cope after the enduring traumas of war? What can we learn from the military about mental health? In the second of three ‘Pillar Episodes', Patrick J. Kennedy turns the tables on his co-host Marjorie Morrison, to ask her about her past life working with the U.S. Marines.      “There's a lot of progress that's been made, but it's a really broken system. So I sound like you [Patrick] when I say this, but it comes from mental health and physical health being separated really from the beginning.” -Marjorie Morrison   Marjorie's focus on supporting members of the military and their communities was first developed in the field, after she spent a year writing and implementing a revolutionary proactive counseling program for the U.S. Marines. After working with 500 Marine drill instructors, her innovative program continued at Camp Pendleton, where she was able to work with  hundreds of Marines to interview and learn from. This implementation research was utilized to create a groundbreaking solution to approach military mental health care. She continued this work as Founder and CEO of PsychArmor Institute, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, committed to bridging the military-civilian divide through free education.   Listen today as Patrick J. Kennedy and Marjorie Morrison discuss ongoing challenges including how the military community is often isolated, the complexity of trauma-related symptoms, mismatched incentives among payors and providers, and important solutions for the future.   If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to follow or subscribe wherever you are listening, and share the show with your colleagues and friends.

I think when I was starting out, I probably would not have considered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.  I was really focused on stopping my symptoms and I was not the introspective person.    More bullheaded and introspective. I was much more focused on making my symptoms stop.   While doing the things that caused them in the first place.    I can tell you, that's probably not the way to go, but I had to learn from experience as opposed to from intellect. It was a rough road.   In this episode, a look at Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.    If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.

He studied prisoners of war and war veterans, victims of terrorism and disasters, and people affected by large scale pandemics. In addition to his epidemiological and treatment studies, Neria's lab is focused on translational studies aiming to identify brain markers for trauma, PTSD, and resilience. By using advanced brain imaging approaches, his lab has been a leader in characterizing brain markers of PTSD, specific PTSD biotypes, and the pursuit for reliable biomarkers of clinical improvement in patients responding to a range of therapeutic approaches. Dr. Neria is highly committed to the mental health care for veterans and their family members. In an effort to address key gaps in availability and expertise of mental health care for large number of US service members who are not eligible, or interested in services provided in VA Centers, he founded the Columbia-NYP Military Family Wellness Center in 2016, where both veterans and family members can receive free evidence-based care to address their PTSD, depression and anxiety problems.

Does recovery really work? Is COVID changing the future of mental health? What inspired Patrick to open up about the Kennedy family's experience with substance use?  In the first of three new 'Pillar Episodes,' we want to help you, our listener, get to know the remarkable people at the helm of Psych Hub and The Future Of Mental Health Podcast. In this episode, we get somewhat raw and vulnerable with our extraordinary hosts, Psych Hub's Marjorie Morrison, and Former Politician Patrick Kennedy.  "My family, like everyone else's, didn't want to talk about these issues. We kept them silent and secret, and we were largely in denial - and as a result, all of our illnesses never got treated properly. They got a lot worse…the fact that we've never had people being able to speak up for themselves within the medical system means the medical system really hasn't been responsive. And hence most of us get treated at the very end of a long pathology of these illnesses, and it's very hard to recover". Patrick Kennedy Psych Hub co-founders Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J. Kennedy have been fighting for a preventative approach to mental health throughout their careers. Morrison spent a year writing and implementing a revolutionary proactive counseling program for the U.S. Marines before founding PsychArmor, the nation's leading organization providing military mental health education. While serving as a  US Congressman, Patrick fought to end discrimination against mental illness, substance use , and other brain disorders. He is best known as the lead sponsor of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. The Federal Parity Law requires insurers to cover treatment for mental health and substance use disorders on par with  treatment for physical health illnesses like diabetes and cancer. Listen today as Patrick J. Kennedy and Marjorie Morrison talk about why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is their favorite form of therapy for them personally, the broad changes that we need in the healthcare industry to improve the future of mental health, and so much more.

Co-hosts Marjorie Morrison, Psych Hub co-founder and chief executive officer, and former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, Psych Hub co-founder, share their 'why' behind the podcast. Mental health issues have always been pervasive, but COVID-19 has substantially accelerated their impact, and Psych Hub felt an obligation to utilize its vast platform to help the greater public weather these challenging times.

The coronavirus crisis has put unprecedented amounts of stress not only on health care systems and economies but on workers' mental health. That's the first and bottom line of a recent study by the Society of Human Resource Managers. The professional association surveyed more than a thousand workers in mid-April and found that nearly half feel emotionally drained from their work. The younger the employee, the more likely they feel burned out. Employees who feel totally sapped of energy are more prone to depression. As state and local economies reopen amid the threat of COVID-19, citizens are getting back to daily living. But people are not the same as they were before the pandemic struck, experts say, and the nation's workplaces may be where mental health issues become most obvious. In this episode of Lodging Leaders, we focus on mental health in the workplace – particularly the hospitality industry which has been dramatically impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Featured in this report are Silpa Patel, a hotelier in Tennessee who has battled depression and now works with behavioral health organizations to eliminate the stigma of mental illness; Darcy Gruttadaro, director of the Center for Workplace Mental Health at the American Psychiatric Foundation in Washington, D.C.; Wendi Safstrom, executive director of the Society for Human Resource Management Foundation in Alexandria, Va.; and Marjorie Morrison, co-founder and CEO of Psych Hub in Nashville, Tennessee.

Covid-19 is proving how fragile our health care system is. A federal government blatantly not responding. States locked and broke with huge deficits. Hospitals over capacity with a workforce faced with immeasurable pain and loss.  It is May and this is Mental Health Awareness Month. We are on the verge of another pandemic. The pandemic of a world wide mental health crisis. Yes, to us we don't need a month to bring awareness. For us it is a 24/7 battle, but so many of us don't give it a second thought. We will be staring this in the face and we aren't ready.  This week's episode is named for the Black Flag song, Rise Above. We need empathy, kindness and nonviolent communication more now than ever. We aren't prepared for the fallout ahead. Our professionals will need help and care, but who will help the helpers? We need a better community focused answer. Now is the time to answer the call to get into the mental health profession in what ever capacity you can. We need to help our neighbors, friends and family. It is up to us. A great resource is, Psych Hub. A library of mental health education and resources.  If you are in crisis please call your health care provider. If you are in danger of self harm please call 9-1-1 or the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1(800)273-8255. Or text TALK to 741741.
