Podcasts about Stigma

"Stigma surrounding mental illness often prevents patients from seeking the mental health care they need, delaying care and prolonging suffering. Fear, embarrassment, and impaired quality of life are a reality for many patients suffering from skin disorders like severe cases of psoriasis, hair loss, or acne. In these cases, assistance from a dermatologist who bridges both specialties might be better accepted by patients and can help them find relief for their skin and mind more quickly. When it comes to helping the millions of Americans suffering from skin issues, whether a flare-up or the management of a chronic condition, exploring both the physical and emotional causes of disease is key to a successful treatment. Neglecting how our emotional lives affect the largest organ of the human body is a mistake, and thankfully, psychodermatological treatments are now available to complement conventional therapies." Katlein França is a dermatologist. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Want your skin to look better? Then consider your mental health." Did you enjoy today's episode?

This episode is brought to you by Yotpo.   Getting women's health out from under the radar - that's one of the missions of Rosy Wellness, an app offering women a holistic approach to sexual health and wellness, says Dr. Lyndsey Harper, the brand's Founder and CEO.   "The fact of the matter is, for the most part, medicine has been led by men in the past," Lyndsey says. "Women as physicians and health care consumers are standing up and saying, ‘ this whole experience was not designed for me. I have vast medical health needs that are not being met.' And how do we start to look at those when it comes to women's sexual health specifically?"   Lyndsey's path to Rosy began after college during her medical residency when she learned what OB-GYNs did and continued into private practice, where she and her patients developed strong bonds that evolved into conversations about sexual health.   "I wasn't even asking my patients about their sexual health because I didn't have any resources," she says. "Even if they had said, yes, I have a sexual health problem, I didn't know what to do with that. That wasn't part of my training."   The worst part is the unnecessary shame and isolation the patients were feeling, Lyndsey says. About 43 percent of women have a sexual problem, but nobody was talking about it.   The answer, Lyndsey felt, was to create a platform that could educate women and get them in contact with the necessary resources - as soon as possible.   "It's been so exciting to watch that all unfold, but I'm still as mad today as I was when I started, so there's still a lot of work to be done," she says.   The topic continues to have a taboo feel to it, she says.   "One thing that I think that we've been able to do successfully - and I hope to do really at scale for the world - is to position women's sexual health as not seedy as not some dark part of the Internet where you're going to be erasing your Google search," she says. Women's sexual health should be part of women's health - just as it is for men.   "We can talk about it as physicians, we can get it covered by insurers, we can advertise effectively on all the platforms that we need to advertise on, and we can get physicians trained," she says. "I think it takes a lot of that shame and lack of certainty away from the conversation and can position it in a more weighty, meaningful, and legitimate light."   In Part 1, Lyndsey talks about:   * Gratitude to her former partners at a medical practice who gave her encouragement and support when she left to form her brand. * Why medical research has traditionally revolved around male participants. * Women's growing role in addressing modern health problems. * Her path to women's sexual health as a space. * The need to get help, information, and resources to women ASAP. * The struggle to remove stigmas from the women's sexual health space.   Join Ramon Vela and Dr. Lyndsey Harper as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Rosy Wellness, visit: https://meetrosy.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Host Seán Collins talks with Dr. Carlos Blanco, lead author of a perspective piece published June 16th in the New England Journal of Medicine titled, "Research to Move Policy — Using Evidence to Advance Health Equity for Substance Use Disorders."The authors note that, despite substantial efforts to address the epidemic of drug-overdose deaths in the United States, racial and ethnic disparities in treatment access and outcomes among patients with substance use disorders have widened. Rates of overdose deaths are rising faster in Black, Latinx, and American Indian and Alaska Native populations than in White populations.Dr. Blanco talks with Seán about barriers to the best care possible along with ways medicine can make that care available to all regardless of race and ethnicity...Carlos Blanco, M.D., Ph.D., MSDirector, Division of Epidemiology, Services, and Prevention ResearchNational Institute on Drug AbuseNational Institutes of HealthRockville, Md..Link to the piece in the New England Journal of Medicine: Research to Move Policy — Using Evidence to Advance Health Equity for Substance Use Disorders.   

Police officers and other First Responders are put in life-or-death situations every day. Over time, the emotional toll can be so significant that it leads to mental health challenges. A no-brainer approach would be to have programs and counselors in place to support these brave men and women. Unfortunately, the programs in place are rarely used due to stigma. Officers would be very hesitant to tell anyone in the organization what was really going on in their heads for fear of losing their job or their credibility. Rich and Sheila Goode, a former police officer, discuss the need for support that sits OUTSIDE of the organization. The officers will feel more comfortable asking for help if it's done in private. Listen as Sheila describes what it's like behind the scenes for First Responders and what would really help them get the mental health support they deserve.About Sheila: VP of Clinical Services at Lucent HealthFormer Police OfficerAbout Lucent Health:Lucent Health is a leading third-party administrator serving the self-insured employer market, with a fully integrated care management solution.

 Dr. Luisa Sanz is a psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience working mainly with young people. She is immensely passionate about her work, and at the root of all she does, is the drive to help others through understanding, acceptance, compassion, respect and love. Such passion and devotion are unquestionably the results of having two brothers with schizophrenia and living its consequences from the age of 7. Being originally from Madrid, Spain, she moved to England at the age of 26 to specialize in Psychiatry and still lives there. Throughout her professional career, Dr. Sanz has actively contributed to developing services, improving the provision of care for individuals with ADHD/ASD and their families, including developing pathways to optimize diagnosis and treatment. Her special interest has always been in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD but also ASD, and this is where she's mainly focussed her work. During her recent career break working as a regional Clinical Director for Mental Health services in the National Health Service, Dr. Sanz founded Mind Yr Life for the purpose of eradicating the stigma around Mental Health (MH). Mind Yr Life does so by, firstly, sharing credible information on MH conditions/illnesses, secondly, having open and honest conversations about personal experiences with MH problems and, thirdly, adopting an attitude towards a) acceptance and love, b) humbleness with an open mind, and c) staying grateful and positive. Today we're talking about her organization and the path that lead her here. Enjoy! In this episode Peter and Luisa Sanz discuss:   1:12 - Intro and welcome Luisa!  2:17 - So what pushed you towards focusing your work towards ADHD, ADD, ASD? 3:20 - Talk about some of the challenges you went up against; how attitudes towards the neurodiverse and the environment there was prior to, and after your time at NHS? 5:30 - What have you noticed in terms of changing the conversation/ breaking the stigma? 7:22 - How to break stigma? 8:53 - Tell us about your organization Mind Yr Life! 10:00 - We don't exactly have a blood test for all things neurodiverse, do we 10:50 - Dr. Sanz on her family's experiences with mental health 11:20 - A bad attitude and ignorance are usually contagious  12:17 - When people don't know about mental health illnesses, or about most things for that matter they may feel fearful or threatened; and often times they try and put a person down because that makes them feel more in control, more secured. So.. there is a lot of work to be done!  12:54: How can people find more about you and what you're doing?  On the Web: www.MindYrLife.com Socials: @MindYrLifeMYL on Twitter  Facebook @mind.yr.life on INSTA and Luisa Sanz on YouTube 16:00 - Thank you Luisa!

Her drive is to help others through understanding acceptance, compassion, respect, and love. She's originally from Madrid.

And by having open honest conversations about personal experiences with mental health problems, and thirdly adopting an attitude towards acceptance and love humbleness and open mind and staying grateful and positive. Well, we are grateful and positively thrilled that you joined us today. Dr. Sanz thank you! So for taking the time.  [00:02:10] Dr.Sanz: Oh my pleasure. Thank you to you for inviting me! [00:02:14] Peter: So, what pushed you towards focusing on ADHD and ASD  [00:02:20] Dr.Sanz: I believe that when I first went into specializing in psychiatry, initially I went into adult psychiatry, but I found it a little bit overwhelming because I, I have two brothers who had schizophrenia, and there was too much of the same outside and inside, you know, outside at work and inside at home. So I decided to specialize in children and adolescent, and I thought that I could possibly intervene early life. Uh, of these, of these people and make a bigger difference. And, uh, without a question of doubt, ADHD is the most common condition in mental health altogether, but much more in children and adolescents. So being such a common condition, I was just driven towards, um, to, you know, to, to these, these, these conditions.  [00:03:11] Peter: Interesting. And what was the attitude before you joined, um, national, uh, health service? I'm assuming you spent a lot of time focusing on changing the environment and changing the conversation. How was the attitude before you joined and, and, and can you cite, uh, sort of some of the challenges you went up against, uh, in changing that conversation?  [00:03:32] Dr.Sanz: Yeah. Uh, I think Peter that, uh, for me, because, because I grew up with mental illness at home, you know, through my brothers, I think I, from, from day one, when I became a psychiatrist, I was different in a way to many of the psychiatrists. Because I had believed mental illness from, you know, very, very close in the household. Uh, so my, my approach was different and I, from the very beginning, I always empathize the empathize, the, the, uh, you know, with patients and, and, and, and felt, felt them closer in my heart. And, uh, and you know, the conversations that I always had were, were around. Being more compassionate and, and definitely, definitely not judging, not making assumptions and just accepting people for who they are. Um, in, in with ADHD. I, I, I always believe everything happens the, the way it's meant to. And I was meant to specialize in, in know, neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD in particular, because, um, more than anything ADHD. I realize that, you know, precisely we can't judge, we can't make assumptions because most of the times those are wrong and people with ADHD my daughter, Peter has ADHD, but people with ADHD are so incredibly creative, charismatic, uh, you know, gifted and, and because of, of others judging and criticizing, we tend to. You know, hinder all those talents and, and, and beautiful, beautiful personalities. So, um, you know, you, your question was how, how have I tried to change those conversations? How have they changed? I suppose that from, from where I stand, my conversations have always been similar. The response I've had is different because for people that know me now, they know they know the type of conversations they can have with me. [00:05:30] Peter: What have you noticed in terms of changing the conversation? I, I kind of feel sometimes, and I I'm gonna continue to do it, you know, until my last breath, but I sometimes feel like it's like emptying the ocean with a, trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. Right. It's it's, you know, for every person that we talk to and explain. That, uh, different does not equal bad or that, or that, you know, this is not a disability per se. Uh, we come across schools or, or doctors, whatever who, who treat this exactly as such as a disability. And, and when you're seven years old and you're diagnosed with ADHD, uh, and you're told the first thing you're told, the first thing your parents are told is that you are less than everyone else. That's a hard stigma to shape.  [00:06:10] Dr.Sanz: It, it is aweful and, and the conversations have changed because when I first started, you know, working in ADHD 20 odd years ago, um, the, I had to speak to professionals, to doctors about the fact that. It was a genetic condition. It wasn't about bad parenting. It wasn't about children just being awkward and difficult and naughty. And that those conversations were with professionals. I still occasionally have one of those conversations with a doctor, with a teacher, but not as often more often, uh, than not now people accept that it is a condition, that it is a genetic, uh, inherited, uh, condition. But generally people don't understand how it shows and how it really, uh, what it really means. And again, this, this very wrong assumptions about, you know, when people, don't people with ADHD, don't do certain things. This is still this assumption that they've just been awkward and oppositional, whereas, you know, they don't see what really is happening. In the brain in the executive, you know, function in the, in the brain and in the neuropathways pathways of the brain. So those conversations are still going on and will continue to go on for a very long time. But Peter, that is about stigma and that is about. You know, uh, you know, how, you know, lack of understanding because there's two aspects to the conversations. One is the lack of understanding of what it really means. And the other is, uh, seeing it as a, as you very well defined it as a disability, as a, as a, uh, people are less for having ADHD. So it's, it is both things. 1. People don't understand the actual signs and symptoms and how it really presents. And two then is, you know, very stigmatized and is very derogatory the way it's spoken about. [00:08:11] Peter: It's interesting because you know, other diseases, for lack of a better word, other conditions, you know, they, they don't seem. I guess they don't see it as stigmatized. Right. You know, you don't, you don't look at, um, I mean, mental health as a whole, it has always been stigmatized, but you know, you're never gonna tell someone with cancer. Oh, just pull yourself up by your bull straps or just pay attention more. Right. And yet when the condition is unseen, uh, like ADHD or any foreign mental health, it, it, it it's always seemed like it's much easier to, um, I don't wanna say mock it, but much easier to sort of dismiss it. Right. Which is, I think very, very frustrating for millions of people. Talk to us about, um, uh, Mind your life. I'd love to know a little bit about, uh, this, uh, organization you founded  [00:09:01] Dr.Sanz: well it's, uh, I'm, I'm incredibly passionate about it because the, the purpose, the reason why I created my new life was precisely to eradicate the stigma. And you very well just mentioned Peter, that, um, you know, with mental health, we, at this moment in time, we can't get away. You know, the stigma that is attached to it. And you're absolutely right with other physical illnesses. You know, people are much more understanding, supportive and, and caring with mental health, uh, is very difficult to get that genuine attitude from, from people in general. And the reason comes from the lack of, uh, uh, research and, and investigations with cancer. You can get, you know, some, uh, radiology, uh, Investigation to prove, oh, here there's a tumor. And you can see it is in your livers in here or there, you can do some bood tests and say, yeah, you've got anemia. And this is, this is how it shows with mental health. We can't really, we don't have any x-rays any blood tests or any other physical. Investigation that we can prove what the reason, what, the reason which leads to people, just having opinions. You know, we, um, I sometimes have to laugh when, you know, I hear conversations I'm on the, you know, on, on the cafe, whatever people are making, you know, diagnosis about anxiety, depressions, schizophrenia, even. And I, I think, gosh, you know, most of the psychiatrists you know, that struggle to really, you know, with challenging presentations to get it right. Nevermind people in the streets, but, but we all think we know more than we do. So mind your life was founded because I, I am, you know, uh, very frustrated when I. See in general public, uh, making assumptions about people with mental health problems. And I lived it. I, you know, I was seven years old when my eldest brother became ill with, with the first signs of his schizophrenia. And, and I, we suffered as a family, the stigma we had to move, uh, house because the neighbors were really harsh and, you know, and then, and then I was a teenager when my second brother became ill. So even more of the same. And I, you know, I was, I was a young person thinking, gosh, you know, why, why? You know, public professional services are making life so hard for my brothers and for myself, there's no need for that. And unquestionably Peter. And this is where my heart is. We make people, we make, conditions much harder, much harder because of our, our attitude, because of the way we judge him, the way we, we assume. And, and, and I know my brother one, my eldest brother passed away last January. And, you know, I had beautiful conversations with him before he passed. And I asked him, you know, what, what he would, you know, want to tell people that have mental health problems and, you know, and his words were along the lines of, you know, we we've got each other, we understand what we go through. We just can't take it to heart, what people say and assume about us, because that would kill us. And, and it's really sad when, when people with mental health problems live lives like that. So Mind Yr Life was created to really try and influence people's attitude towards anyone with mental health problem. In fact, Towards anyone that is considered to be different. Um, because when we, when we don't know, we feel threatened and, and people don't know about mental health illnesses about mental conditions and, and they feel threatened because of the ignorance most times. And then they judge and they try and put them down because that makes them feel more in control, more secured. So, you know, there's, there's, there's a lot of work to be done there about eradicating the stigma. But, you know, we, we can, you know, we bit, bit by day by day, you know, we get there,  [00:12:54] Peter: no question about it, Dr. Sanz how can people find, uh, more about you and, and, and where can they go to get more?     On the Web: www.MindYrLife.com Socials: @MindYrLifeMYL on Twitter  Facebook @mind.yr.life on INSTA and Luisa Sanz on YouTube [00:13:00] Dr.Sanz: I thought of the name. And I thought, um, you know, that mind obviously is about caring and looking after, and, and mind is about mental health and, and your, your is spelled with a Y and an R because I thought it's about you. It's about us, but it's about your responsibility and every single one, taking responsibility over, over mental health, over attitude and, and, and changing. And, and life is about, you know, precisely about why, why we live these lives, how do we live it and how do we, you know, live it in a way that is that we, we achieve happiness. Um, so mind your life spell, as I said, with the Y and R um, you know, I've got in the website, there's, I'm, I'm, I'm doing lots of interviews to people that, you know, very willingly speak openly about their experiences with, with mental health. I like to think that I lead by example. And I, I have an interview where I speak about what my experience growing up was, you know, when with, with mental health problems at home and, and, and we do do interviews and we, you know, I I've recently, um, wrote a, a journal, which is a wellbeing guided journal to help people. Particularly people, you know, with, it's not specific for ADHD, but people with ADHD tend to need more guidance, more support, you know, a little bit of a prompt. And, and this journal is to change behaviors. You know, that sometimes you think, oh, I wish I, I could eat more healthy or I could do more exercise or I could make my bed every morning or, you know, so, so it it's to. It's to, uh, support people in making those changes. And the journal starts with giving lots of information about why consistency is important, how, how the brain works and how this consistency provides the, you know, the, the, the, what is needed for, for changing behaviors. So in mind your life, we have. As I said, you know, um, interviews to, uh, to learn more about what people really experience. We have videos that I've, I've uploaded that I do them myself for, for everyone. They're not for professionals they're for everyone that want to learn a little bit more about ADHD, there are three videos on ADHD. There are some on autistic spectrum condition and that there'll be more ?___? We, we, we upload information, informa educational videos. We've got these journal as well. And we do loads of the things, um, that we keep, you know, uploading on the website to, to try and, you know, first make sure that people with mental health problems don't feel that they are on their own because we are all on the same boat. And, and, and second to help those that really want to understand mental health conditions better and support those with mental health conditions in a, in a healthier manner. You know, uh, we've got the information available as well. Excellent.  [00:15:58] Peter: Well, Dr. Sounds thank you so much for taking the time. We really appreciate you coming on faster than normal. And, uh, we'll have you back again.  [00:16:04] Dr.Sanz: Oh, I, I love that Peter. Uh, I would love that.

Die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf ist eines der Kernthemen von New Work. Immer mehr Unternehmen bieten ihren Mitarbeiterinnen sogar technologische Benefits wie das Einfrieren von Eizellen an. Um mehr darüber zu erfahren, sprechen wir heute mit Christoph Müller-Guntrum, dem Gründer und CEO des Unternehmens Fertilly. Heute geht es darum, dass ein Kinderwunsch nicht nur Frauensache ist, was der Trend rund um Family-Tech für die neue Arbeitswelt bedeutet und warum Fruchtbarkeit immer noch voller Tabus und Stigma ist.

Breaking the Stigma and Our Relationship with Food During this episode we have a special guest, Rachel Bagne shares her experience and thoughts on eating disorders and disorder eating.

Dr. Ashley White is a Canadian physician taking on the stigma of what people in larger bodies have to deal with when they try to move about the world.  That stigma can be really debilitating.   She grew up with body and weight stigma and being 6 feet tall added to how she was perceived and treated, even in medical school.  After participating in a program that ultimately saw her lose weight, she noticed a shift in how patients and colleagues interacted with her.   Her mission is to build a system that helps people recognize that being in the culture that we're in is part of why people think poorly of their bodies and that by equipping them with a mechanism framework for thinking about eating experiences, people can bring their eating experiences in line with their values and who they are as people.   In this episode, we talk about fear and parenting, as well as “shop talk”.  (You can't get 2 ER physicians together and not bring in some of our everyday experiences.)     Dr. White also puts Dr. G in the hot seat for a bit!   Learn more about Dr. Ashley White here:  www.drashleywhite.com   Guest Bio: Dr. Ashley White is an industry leader in challenging the weight-as-health dogma. Her groundbreaking work with Responsive Eating ™ has encouraged a critical shift in the medical field in the way people with larger bodies are perceived and treated. As a trusted clinician, educator, and parent, Dr. Ashley White's mission is to use her signature methodology of Responsive Eating™ to facilitate appetite literacy so that people in larger bodies can unlearn, push back against, and liberate themselves from diet culture. She is a family and emergency medicine doctor by training, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, though she doesn't use the term "obesity" in regular practice.   ___________________ Subscribe to this podcast and download your favorite episodes to listen to later: AppleSpotify RSS Feed ___________________   ⚕️ Are you a woman healthcare professional who is struggling to juggle everything in your personal and professional life?  

Unrein und gefährlich? Bis heute wird die Menstruation gesellschaftlich tabuisiert. Dabei spielen religiöse Reinheitsvorstellungen eine nicht zu unterschätzende Rolle. Längst überholt geglaubte Vorstellungen stigmatisieren noch immer den Prozess des Menstruierens. Was steht hinter diesem Phänomen? Gross war der Aufschrei in den sozialen Medien, als zwei Unternehmensgründer ihre «Pinky Gloves» in einer TV-Sendung vorstellten. Dabei handelt es sich um pinkfarbene Plastikhandschuhe, mit denen Menstruierende vor dem Kontakt mit dem eigenen Periodenblut geschützt und die diskrete Entsorgung von Hygieneprodukten gesichert sein sollte. Periodenblut, etwas Ekliges, gar Peinliches? Selbst in Werbungen für Menstruationsprodukte wird das Blut bis heute entfremdet als blaue Flüssigkeit dargestellt. Was also steckt hinter diesem Verdrängungsphänomen, dieser Unsichtbarmachung? Noch bis ins 20. Jahrhundert wurde der Periode Toxizität nachgesagt und Menstruierende wurden damit geächtet. Von der Antike bis in die Neuzeit haftete dem monatlichen Blutfluss ein Stigma an: Im Sinne der (rituellen) Unreinheit, des Mangels, der Giftigkeit oder als Folge des Sündenfalls. Diese Erklärungen zogen normierende Beschränkungen der Frau mit sich, was nicht zuletzt in der Verweigerung höherer religiöser Ämter resultierte und teilweise noch immer resultiert. Weshalb gilt Blut, zumal weibliches, als unrein? Weshalb schämen wir uns dafür und ekeln uns davor? Und was braucht es, um das Menstruationstabu in unserer aufgeklärten Gesellschaft zum Verschwinden zu bringen? Olivia Röllin im Gespräch mit der Kulturwissenschaftlerin Elisabeth Lechner und der Indologin und Philosophin Angelika Malinar. Eine Wiederholung der «Sternstunde Religion».

Even though we know that a problem shared is a problem halved, the idea of opening up might scare us shitless. Once you've acknowledged you have a problem, the next step is addressing it, telling someone about it and opening up. Simple eh! But bloody hard to do. By finding a person or a place where you feel that you can open up a bit, we tend to find others who have walked the walk, had similar troubles and with whom we can relate to. In this episode you'll hear from people just like you, who took this step, opened up and have moved positively forward with their lives. They are opening up to you. ****The advice in this podcast is of a general nature, and not an excuse for not seeing your GP or medical professional.

Pride month is about celebrating the LGBTQ community and bringing light to the issues the community still faces, ranging from homophobia and transphobia to economic insecurity to civil rights and liberties. Today, we're highlighting another set of issues: something that members of the B in LGBTQ struggle with: biphobia, or bi-antagonism, and bi-erasure. Many people in the bi-plus community – which includes bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual folks, among others – feel invisible, invalidated, and dismissed by members in and outside of the LGBTQ community. Pressured to “choose a side” –  in other words, to identify as straight or gay–many bi-plus people find themselves in limbo when it comes to finding acceptance and understanding, and as a consequence, can struggle with adverse physical and mental health issues. In fact, according to the Bisexual Resource Center, bi-plus people face even higher rates of depression and anxiety than lesbians and gay men. For more on this we speak with Belle Haggett Silverman, President of the Board of Directors of the Bisexual Resource Center.

A researcher at the National College of Ireland has recently developed an app for the Apple iPad to allow researchers examine social cognition using a touch-screen interface and realistic videos of actors interacting. Social cognition refers to our ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of other people. Social cognition helps us to understand others and plays an important role in our social behaviour. Some individuals, with conditions such as schizophrenia, experience difficulties with social cognition. Research suggests that these difficulties are an important barrier to recovery from mental illness. As such, current research aims to help individuals with social cognition through cognitive therapy or group activities. However, many of the psychological tests used to assess social cognition in research studies require a trained researcher to administer the test, and use unrealistic pictures or cartoons to portray facial expressions and social cues. To address these challenges, Dr David Mothersill, Programme Director and lecturer on the BA (Hons) in Psychology at the National College of Ireland, came up with the novel app for the Apple iPad that allows researchers to examine social cognition using a touch-screen interface and realistic videos of actors interacting. cTOM was designed in collaboration with Professor Gary Donohoe, Professor of Psychology at National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), and the code was developed by Professor. Jim Duggan, Conor O'Grady, and Jennifer Murray from NUIG's School of Computer ScienceThe app is currently being used in research being conducted at NUI Galway and UCD. Computerised Theory of Mind (cTOM) is designed for use by professionals and is free to download here. Dr Mothersill notes: “For the past number of years my research has been focused on improving outcomes for people with schizophrenia, a mental health condition that affects about 3,900 people in Ireland. “A big problem for many people experiencing mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, is stigma. Negative attitudes and behaviours towards people experiencing mental health conditions can affect employment, access to accommodation, and the emotional impact of stigma can be a profound source of suffering. “In young people, mental health stigma is also a barrier to seeking help, which is particularly concerning given that most mental health conditions develop before the age of 24.” Further research on mental health stigma and social cognition In a recent paper, psychologists at the National College of Ireland examined mental health stigma in over 300 people across Ireland ‘Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours towards schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism' in the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine. The results suggest that people have more negative attitudes and behaviours towards schizophrenia compared to some other mental health conditions, and most participants felt they were not informed enough about mental health by the media. Building on this research, a new laboratory has recently been established in the National College of Ireland: the Stigma and Mental Health Ireland (SAMI) Laboratory, directed by Dr April Hargreaves, Dr David Mothersill, and Dr Gerard Loughnane. SAMI has received generous funding from Esther Ireland to carry out further stigma research in a population-representative sample of 1,000 participants in Ireland, and is partnering with The Carter Centre to repeat this research in a further 1,000 participants in Liberia, to compare mental health stigma between Europe and Africa. Ultimately, it is hoped that this research will provide key data for Government policies and campaigns targeting mental health stigma, such as the See Change Green Ribbon campaign.

The words we use have power and can, even unintentionally, contribute to the stigma associated with mental illness. To address this, the Well Beings Campaign developed the Mental Health Language Guide to equip adults, regardless of their experience, with person-first language tools for discussing mental health concerns with youth.  On this episode, Alita McCalmon, project lead for the Mental Health Language Guide and Senior Manager of National Education for WETA Television, talks to us about the guide and shares how our language can help create safe spaces for youth, our LGBTQIA community members, folks with disabilities, people with mental health conditions, and more.  Resources for this episode:  Well Beings Mental Health Language Guide Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness trailer Our Turn to Talk  Check out the rest of our podcast family at https://psychiatry.org/podcasts

At 17 years-old, Jane discovered she was pregnant after being sexually assaulted. Her pro-life upbringing in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints left her scared and ashamed to try and get an abortion. So, she took matters into her own hands. After sitting in a hot tub for hours, drinking extensive amounts of caffeine, and relentlessly exercising, Jane induced a miscarriage–a excrutiatingly painful experience. Reset listens to Jane's story and processes the content with WBEZ government and politics reporter Kristen Schorsch. Host: Sasha-Ann Simons Producer: Isabelle Earl Guest: Kristen Schorsch

Stigma, shame and lack of resources are some of the factors that make it hard for people harmed by domestic violence to flee a dangerous situation.

  Borderline Personality Disorder. It has been deemed a heavy diagnosis. One that has been linked to characteristics such as manipulative, self-destructive, unstable, selfish, and untreatable. It is described as involving patterns of wavering interpersonal relationships, a distorted sense of self, and emotional reactions that are characterized as intense.    In this episode, we're going to confront some truly harmful labels, reiterate that this diagnosis, contrary to popular belief, is indeed treatable, and note that amidst the black and white thinking, there is a middle space of gray to be found and known. To help us tackle all of these things and more, we'll be joined by Genevieve Jacobs and counselor Patrick Miranda.   Genevieve is a resident physician navigating the roles of both doctor and patient with her diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. She is passionate about addressing the stigma associated with physician mental health and seeking help. Gen currently lives in Ontario, Canada, with her partner and their dog. Outside of work, you can often find her kayaking, adventuring with her pup, or working on being a better plant mom.   Patrick Miranda has worked in multiple treatment settings, including residential and outpatient services for substance use disorders. He has experience working with adolescents, adults, and families with a range of therapeutic issues, including addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and suicidality. He especially enjoys working with those in the LGBTQ+ community. In his downtime, Patrick reads a lot and plays an exceptional amount of video games.    Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.   Download TWLOHA's daily-use self-care app, The Hopeful, at twloha.com/thehopeful/.   Purchase the “I Hate You—Don't Leave Me” book by going to https://www.amazon.com/Hate-You-Dont-Leave-Me/dp/0380713055.    Read the words of Genevieve Jacobs at https://twloha.com/blog/author/genevieve-jacobs/.    To access the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook, go to https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_Dialectical_Behavior_Therapy_Skills/pan4976pG6sC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover.    For resources and more information on Borderline Personality Disorder, you can visit https://nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Borderline-Personality-Disorder/Support, https://www.nyp.org/bpdresourcecenter/professionals/publications, and https://emotionsmatterbpd.org/.    Credits:   This episode of the TWLOHA podcast was hosted by Chad Moses and produced by Rebecca Ebert.

“Every story is different, every experience is different and how people talk about is completely different as well. But one thing that is always consistent is this is just as profound kind of enlightenment, if you will, as to they understand their disease and why they're experiencing what they have and the root of the problem, just on a really different level.” – Joshua Bartch In today's episode, we welcome Joshua Bartch, he is the Director, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of Mydecine Innovations Group (MIG).

Jason sat down with Kimberly Stark to discuss the impact of legislation and the status quo of addiction recovery. They spoke about the work Kimberly is doing in the mental health community and her work with different organizations to better the overall well-being of all in the workplace. Kimberly Stark pulls from both her life experience and the work of experts in various areas of wellbeing.  Ms. Stark has an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Biola University with a minor in religious studies.   Years ago Kimberly found herself on the floor, her familiar world broken wide open and apart. She was without income, responsible for four (amazing) kids, with no idea how to begin to build from there. Through sometimes painful twists and turns, she rediscovered her resilience, uncovered her grit, and learned from and developed relationships with life skills and wellness leaders. It was through and because of this journey and education that she founded The Flourish Consultancy, with a mission to support people like herself - your employees, your teachers, your students, YOU - in navigating life's uncertainties through proven process and practice. Kimberly sees that so many are Unprepared for Adulthood. We've received no formal training in navigating the challenges we're guaranteed to face. How do I rebuild after a crisis? How do I remain equanimous through future uncertainty? Not to mention basics like… how do I build and maintain healthy finances and relationships? That is the work she is doing at Flourish, where they're all about creating strategy. Their intensive masterclass is designed with proven tools to support individuals in the practice of developing resilience and cognitive strength so that they can finally experience change. This is Kimberly Stark in her own words, on Knockin' Doorz Down.

My father in law Duane Cardall is my guest and shares more about Brian and his life, about his illness and details about his death.  Duane also shares the stark contrast in care he observed between two sons.  Duane's oldest son Paul was born with a severe congenital heart defect and has had multiple complex open heart surgeries and has always had world class care.  Brian started to show symptoms of severe mental illness in college and it was so difficult to find even adequate care for him when he was in crisis.  He was often held at the hospital for 48-72 hours, given medication and wished good luck.   The inadequacy of the mental health care system is something that absolutely should be addressed and fixed.   The stigma surrounding mental illness is still so prevalent and speaking up and speaking out about is one way to lessen the stigma and let people know they aren't alone.   Read more about Brian's death

Using current examples of the recent changes in eligibility of GB2M in donating blood in Canada, and discourse around Monkeypox, David reminds us of how we can all engage in challenging stigma.Episode hosted by Dr. Carmen Logie.
