In a global comparison, the United States ranks poorly in key quality-of-life measures like longevity, preventable illnesses, and maternal and infant mortality. Despite its status, the nation grapples with high rates of chronic diseases and alarming per capita suicide figures. It's clear that significant changes are needed to address these pressing concerns. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Lloyd Sederer MD. Lloyd, an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University School of Public Health, brings extensive experience in mental health leadership. With roles including Chief Medical Officer at the NYS Office of Mental Health and NYC's Mental Health Commissioner, as well as leadership positions at the American Psychiatric Association and Harvard's McLean Hospital, Lloyd has spearheaded significant mental health responses to events like 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy. He boasts a prolific publication record and founded Columbia Psychiatry Media, producing expert content for national platforms. Today, we're thrilled to have Lloyd join us to discuss American Healthcare and his latest book, “Caught in the Crosshairs of American Healthcare”.

Collaborative innovation lies at the heart of what we do at J&J, recognising that no single entity possesses all the answers. We are driving partnerships across the mental health ecosystem - with technology experts, with mental health healthcare professionals, and with patient advocacy organisations such as GAMIAN-Europe and EUFAMI. Together we can break down barriers to accelerate innovation and access to address the scale of unmet mental health needs in Europe, where 40 million people are impacted by depression. Yet, 3 out of 4 people currently do not receive adequate treatment. Behind these statistics, are the personal stories from millions of friends and relatives from across Europe whose lives have been shattered by major depressive disorder. At Johnson & Johnson, we remain steadfast in our commitment to reducing the burden and disability caused by serious nervous system disorders leading with a precision approach in psychiatry to deliver breakthrough, outcome-improving solutions in areas of critical unmet need. Together we can mobilise change. Together we can be the change. #EuropeanMentalHealthWeek #MentalHealthAwareness

In their study, Cole J. Kennedy and co-authors engaged stakeholders to identify key research priorities. These priorities center on the complex intersections between brain injury, mental health, and addiction (MHA). The study emphasizes the urgent need to address issues such as homelessness, the opioid crisis, and undiagnosed brain injuries. Stakeholder input, including individuals with lived experiences, led to the development of a top 10 list of research questions. These aim to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for those affected by concurrent brain injuries and MHA challenges. Research organizations and funding bodies are encouraged to use this community-driven research agenda to make meaningful improvements in clinical care. The study advocates for more equitable, community-inclusive research to address these pressing public health concerns. #BrainInjury #MentalHealth #Addictions #HealthResearch #OpioidCrisis #Homelessness

🌟 Daily Dose of Health Insights Sept 08🌟 🔹 Today's Highlight: Eby Calls for “Dignified and Humane” Involuntary Mental Health Care Amid Vancouver Attacks "Premier David Eby stressed that involuntary mental health care in British Columbia must be “dignified and humane” in order to be effective. In response to a recent fatal random attack in Vancouver, Eby pointed to the 2012 closure of Riverview mental health hospital, which left many vulnerable individuals on the streets without proper support. He recalled seeing people with mental health issues, brain injuries, and addictions deteriorate and die while working in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. While Eby acknowledged the need for involuntary care, he emphasized that simply “warehousing people” is not enough and that any approach must be “humane and respectful.” Vancouver's Chief Constable Adam Palmer mentioned that police are investigating whether mental health was a factor in two recent attacks, including one that led to the death of a 70-year-old man. Eby also shared that the province is working with Dr. Daniel Vigo, a scientific adviser in psychiatry, to create a care system that addresses both public safety concerns and the needs of individuals experiencing mental health crises. Further details on the plan are expected to be released next week." 🔎 Why Stay Updated? In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, staying informed is crucial.

Founder PIR Center of Excellence | Start up with Global Partnerships to Advance Novel Therapeutics in Brain Health | Advancing Cutting-Edge Solutions for Brain Health
In Costa Rica, we began a unique kind of initiative focusing on healing and understanding. My own experiences have driven me to lead a project that aims to change lives, especially for veterans and first responders battling issues like brain health, addiction, PTSD, and depression. This project is more than just an initiative; it's a promise to those who have faced such challenges that they are not forgotten. We're stepping into the new field of psychedelic healthcare, facing the big task of organizing and analyzing data in a way that's never been done before. Our plan is to tackle mental health care challenges with care and understanding through: Unified Framework: We're setting up a systematic way to collect clinical data, aiming to make every piece of information help in understanding and healing. Patient Participation: We view patients as partners in our research, helping to change the way we think about care and compassion. Real-World Insights: Using the latest technology, we plan to gather a wide range of data to better understand and address mental health issues. Cultural Sensitivity: We know that the setting and cultural background play a huge role in healing, so we customize treatments to fit each individual's unique needs. This effort is about more than just collecting data; it's about transforming mental health care into something that's both scientifically sound and deeply empathetic. We're excited to start conversations about integrating these important practices into our work, hoping to make a big impact in the field of psychedelic healthcare. #PsychedelicHealthcare #DataIntegration #ClinicalResearch #MentalHealthInnovation #PatientCenteredCare #SmartTechnology #CulturalSensitivity #HealthcareRevolution #DigitalHealth #MentalWellness

Early Intervention 2. Integrated Care 3. Community Engagement 4. Stigma Reduction 🤝 We encourage all stakeholders—government agencies, NGOs, healthcare providers, and community leaders—to join hands.
