Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)’s Post

We are excited to participate in the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) Congress 2024, starting today. This year’s theme "Mental Health: Open & Inclusive" aligns closely with our ambition in neuroscience and psychiatry - to treat the right patient with the right treatment, at the right time, by adopting a precision approach in psychiatry, to transform outcomes for patients. Depression causes tremendous suffering for both patients and their loved ones, in addition to the vast economic and societal burden. In Europe alone, depression affects around 40 million people. While significant progress has been made in understanding and treating depression, an immense unmet need remains, demanding collective action to urgently address the scale and scope of this challenge. We are committed to collaborating with the psychiatry community at #EPA2024 to share knowledge, advance progress, and identify meaningful ways to optimise the patient journey and transform mental health care for the better. #MajorDepressiveDisorder #MentalHealth #Psychiatry

Clinical Pearl: A Reminder for Clinicians “I now feel relieved, having shared information I never had the chance to share with anyone, not even my parents!”- Study participant In many cultures, asking patients about suicidal thoughts can be uncomfortable, even among clinicians and early stage psychiatry trainees. A common concern is that this could suggest the idea to the patients. Evidence shows that it doesn’t; in fact it helps! For example, a Lancet-published paper raised ethical concerns around asking study participants suicide-related questions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. So in our study of suicidal behaviour among 600 school-going Nigerian adolescents, we measured participants’ mood before and after participation to ensure that our questions were not causing harm. Interestingly, we noted emerging evidence that, overall, their mood improved after participation. A participant commented after her interview, “I now feel relieved, having shared information I never had the chance to share with anyone, not even my parents!” Asking patients about suicidal thoughts and behavior by clinicians can be life-saving. It can not only avert preventable suicide deaths by signposting patients to appropriate support, but can also help validate patients’ experiences, reduce stigma and promote help-seeking and overall wellbeing. This can play a big role in supporting global suicide prevention efforts. #psychiatry #mentalhealth

Why are rejected psychiatry referrals all too common for general practitioners? There is a critical shortage of psychiatrists in Australia. Just as there is a worsening general practice workforce crisis. This critical shortage of psychiatrists was to some extent acknowledged in the 2021 Federal Budget through the investment of $11 million into 30 new psychiatry training places by 2023. But while that investment is welcome, we still have critical workforce shortages in psychiatry, and recent increases in demand have not assisted in improving access. A great strength of Australian Medical Association (Victoria) and Australian Medical Association is that it brings together medical practitioners from across the healthcare system, improving transparency and facilitating whole of healthcare understanding and advocacy. If we work and advocate in silos we risk not understanding the shared and compounding challenges we face. By working together in our state and federal advocacy we can create beneficial change, and a deeper understanding of how system problems and workforce shortages are adversely affecting patient outcomes across our health system.

Clinical trials, often overlooked, play a transformative role by offering women access to cutting-edge treatments, personalized care, and an opportunity to shape the future of mental health interventions. Through these trials, women can break barriers, conquer misconceptions, and contribute significantly to the advancement of psychiatric research, ultimately paving the way for improved mental health outcomes for women everywhere.    To learn more about our psychiatry clinical trials, visit us at:  https://lnkd.in/dcTvhQaR    #WomensHealth #MentalHealthMatters #Psychiatry #ClinicalTrials #ReviveResearchInstitute
