2024 Foulkes Fellow Spotlight: Meet Hugo Creeth "I completed my PhD in 2017 at Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd and continued my enjoyable academic career with two fascinating post-doctoral positions investigating the epigenetic triggers of post-natal depression and ADHD, and the genetic foundations of schizophrenia. I consistently found myself longing to connect directly with those affected by these conditions." Why did you decide to study medicine? "In 2019, my perspective changed dramatically with the birth of my son, who was diagnosed with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The meticulous care he received in the NICU inspired me to realise that it is never too late to pursue your dreams. This experience drove me to embark on the challenging journey of getting into medical school, determined to make a tangible difference in patient care. Balancing marriage, parenthood, work, and medical studies has been no small feat, especially with the arrival of my daughter in 2021 and my mother’s early onset dementia diagnosis in 2023. Since starting my medical studies, I have deepened my understanding of patient treatment and the importance of precision medicine, tailoring treatments to individual patient needs, particularly in the complex field of psychiatry." What does the future hold? "Looking to the future, I aim to merge my research expertise with clinical practice to enhance the understanding of mental health and neurological conditions. My goal is to make a real, positive impact on patient lives through neuropsychiatry, an emerging field that bridges my clinical and research interests." Why the Foulkes Foundation? "The Foundation has been instrumental in my journey, providing not only financial support to allow me to focus on my studies, but also put me into contact with fascinating and inspirational individuals who are all part of the Foulkes Foundation Family! In conclusion, I owe the Foundation a lot as their assistance has been, and will be, crucial in overcoming the financial and emotional challenges of this significant career change, enabling me to pursue my dream of becoming a clinician and researcher dedicated to improving patient care." #science #medicine #research #psychiatry

Join us for the Next-Gen Precision Psychiatry: Learn the Amen Clinics Method to Transform Your Clinical Practice and Improve Outcomes conference on November 7-9, 2024. Held in Irving, TX, this event will completely transform your clinical practice by giving you a foundation in neuroscience, often missing in current psychiatric or psychology training programs, and practical tools to better diagnose and treat your patients. You will also learn how to have a better brain and life for yourself, including an opportunity to get scanned during the conference. Led by neuropsychiatrist, award-winning researcher, and bestselling author Daniel Amen, MD, and other leading experts, the conference delves into changing the paradigm of psychiatry away from symptom-cluster diagnoses and “mental illnesses” to brain-based diagnoses and brain health optimization strategies. You will learn the Amen Clinics Method, shown in research studies to improve outcomes, along with how to understand and read brain SPECT scans, and natural ways to heal the brain in a functional medicine model. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills in precision psychiatry. Secure your spot today and be part of this transformative event. #Physicians #Nurses #NursePractitioners #Therapists #PhysicianAssistants #Attorneys #Pharmacists #SocialWorkers #Dentists #RegisteredDietitians #Chiropractors #AthleticTrainers #Chaplains #HealthcareProviders #Professionals #AmenClinics #Texas #Virtual #Inperson

Guodong Liu, professor of Public Health Sciences, Neurology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Behavior Health, was recently awarded the Social Science Research Institute's Lloyd Prize for innovative health research.

"Revolutionizing Mental Healthcare with Implantable Devices" For millions of Americans with severe depression, their current treatment may be inadequate, which can lead to a never-ending battle for people suffering. The continued stigma surrounding mental health and the increase in #Depression diagnosis in the U.S. is cause for multidisciplinary collaboration and research to explore additional treatment pathways for those experiencing mental illness. Treatments, such as #DeepBrainStimulation (#DBS), are being explored to understand how they may impact people living with treatment-resistant depression. Abbott | Neuromodulation is excited to have the opportunity to create a panel of industry and advocacy professionals to speak on this topic at SXSW 2025. This panel will bring together the expert voices of neuroscience, psychiatry and advocacy to discuss the collaborative pursuit of innovative treatment approaches to depression and what future treatments might look like for people who do not respond to “traditional” therapies. Your vote matters in making this panel possible!

My latest article is about an issue that's near and dear to my heart: the need to center #MentalHealth in medicine. I had the pleasure and honor of talking with Duke Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences' Dr. Damon Tweedy about his new book, "Facing the Unseen," officially published TODAY! In the book, Dr. Tweedy weaves together patient stories, personal reflections, and conversations with experts to explore how medical culture has historically separated physical and mental health, how this dichotomy harms both patients and doctors, and how we can better integrate these two perspectives for a more holistic and effective approach to health and well-being. And of critical importance: this shift will help decrease stigma around mental illness and increase accessibility to behavioral health care. It's about time, don't you think? Plus, Dr. Tweedy is a great storyteller, so it's an engaging and compelling read--check it out!

Identity Development for 'Healthy Brain' – The Mind Care Hospital At Pulse Advertising Design Studio, we had the enriching opportunity to design the brand identity for Healthy Brain—a neuropsychiatry-focused mind care hospital. 🧠✨ Neuropsychiatry bridges the gap between neurology and psychiatry, addressing complex conditions that intertwine neurological and psychological factors. This integrative approach helps detect overlooked connections between neurological and psychiatric conditions, ultimately improving patient care and reducing caregiver burdens. Our mission with this identity development was to create a visual language that reflects the hospital's core values: clarity, care, and comprehensive mind-body healing. This identity emphasizes the holistic approach of neuropsychiatry, where neurological and psychiatric disciplines converge to offer accurate diagnosis and compassionate care. We're proud to have collaborated on this project, aiming to raise awareness and offer a beacon of hope for individuals facing complex neuropsychiatric challenges. 🔗 Let’s foster more conversations around neuropsychiatry and the crucial role of integrative mental healthcare. #IdentityDesign #Branding #Neuropsychiatry #HealthyBrain #MindCare #PulseAdvertisingDesignStudio #HealthcareBranding #DesignForImpact #MentalHealthAwareness #VisualIdentity

As someone who is deeply committed to patient-centered healthcare, I'm excited about the potential of precision psychiatry to transform mental health diagnostics. By combining cutting-edge neuroscience, biomarkers and collaborative innovation, we have an unprecedented opportunity to put patients at the center of their own care. Precision psychiatry does not happen in isolation; by bringing diverse perspectives to the table, we can ensure that innovations in mental health diagnostics are truly patient-oriented. In this model, patients are not just recipients of care - they are active partners in the innovation process. By working together, we can create a mental health system that truly puts patients first. As we continue to advance the field of precision psychiatry, I believe we must keep the patient at the center of everything we do. The possibilities are exciting, and the potential impact on patients' lives is immense. #EuropeanMentalHealthWeek #Bettertogether #PrecisionPscychiatry
