Unlocking a New Path in Psychiatry: The Power of Spiritual Awareness and Intuition In recent times, we've come to understand that healing the mind is not solely about addressing symptoms—it's about nurturing the soul. Embracing spiritual awareness and intuition brings forth an enlightening perspective that can profoundly transform psychiatry. Spiritual awareness fosters a deeper connection within ourselves, helping us uncover the hidden layers of our psyche. It teaches us to listen, truly listen, to what our inner voice has been yearning to express. This intuitive approach brings more compassion into mental health care, emphasizing empathy over mere diagnosis. When we integrate spirituality with psychiatric practice, we're not discarding science; instead, we're broadening the horizons of treatment options available for everyone seeking help. By honoring both medical expertise and personal intuition, we pave the way for holistic healing—a pathway where every individual feels seen and understood on a deeply human level. This revolution in psychiatry isn't just about new techniques; it's about reshaping how we perceive mental wellness entirely. Let's step forward together into this compassionate future where emotional well-being aligns harmoniously with spiritual growth. May the paths that we choose reflect our hopes, not our fears. #spirituality #mentalhealth #intuition #humanity 

Do you know how psychiatry can help you, your clients, or your friends and family? This talk has been really helpful to a lot of people! Some of which ended up becoming my patients, and others who decided to seek care themselves or talk to a loved one about considering seeing a psychiatrist. There's a giant mountain in the way for so many people who want to build their mental wellness and seeing a psychiatrist can be so anxiety provoking! ("Really?", I wonder. I'm pretty helpful with IMPROVING people's anxiety! If only they knew...) But I've broken it down here to help dispel some of the common myths about what psychiatry can do to help people. I know that not every prescriber practices the way I describe here, but there are a whole bunch who do! You know someone struggling with the idea of seeing a psychiatrist so please share this with them! It's on YouTube so anyone can view (and when you watch it please like and comment!😁) This is a solid first step to any of your clients or friends looking to find out more about psychiatry.

In this session, Andrea will explore how mental health science has struggled to innovate, with slow progress in understanding and treating conditions like anxiety, depression, and psychosis. The GALENOS Project, supported by Wellcome Trust, aims to overcome these challenges by creating living systematic reviews that synthesize global research to improve treatment outcomes. The project seeks to accelerate personalized care and develop safe, effective interventions by identifying key research gaps and fostering innovation.

A new study published in World Psychiatry reveals that, what we see online impacts our health and wellbeing more than the time spent online. Conducted by an international research team, the report highlights the need for an individualised approach to understanding the effects of internet content on mental health, cognition, and social functioning. For example, images promoting unrealistic body shapes can be harmful to those vulnerable to eating disorders or low self-esteem. The study also tackles issues like 'fear of missing out,' social isolation, and the impact of social media on our behaviors and views.
