Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Amine (whyamino) a med student and content creator who recently went viral for his skits about engaging with patients from different cultural backgrounds. Due to pressure and complaints of “promoting stereotypes,” the content was eventually taken down. The audience feels some ambivalence about this, and it raises questions about portrayal and stereotypes, is their portrayal uniformly bad or can demonstrating a knowledge and nuance of a subgroup through humor be a way to demonstrate cultural and, by extension, clinical competency?

In today's episode we take a look back towards the history of psychiatry and read from the publication “The American Journal of Insanity.” This is the journal that predates the American Journal of Psychiatry (the name was changed in 1921). While some of the terms are outdated, the treatment principles and pathology remain eerily similar. It really shows us how far we’ve come and how little has changed in the last 150 years. Listen along to the articles and let us know what you think!
In this episode, Margaret and Preston talk about Margaret’s experience halfway into child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship. Margaret discusses the general requirements or parts in child training, discerning child training indications versus other training paths, and how her child training impacts her care for adult psychiatry patients.
In this episode we're doing another journal club, this time reviewing the first randomized clinical trial comparing image-guided TMS to the traditional method using scalp targeting for depression. We walk through how TMS works, why targeting matters, what the study found at one month, and where the limitations are before this becomes standard of care.
In today’s episode, Preston and Margaret discuss the psychotherapy paper The Theory of the Crunch, by Paul Libby, a psychoanalyst. In this episode and in the paper, the idea of creating a containing environment, repetition compulsion, and ways of navigating difficult interpersonal dynamics are discussed. In this episode, a more expansive, compassionate frame will be introduced both for the therapist and patient to understand how to make it through confusing and sometimes painful clinical work.
In this episode, Margaret and I take on the en vogue topic of GLP-1s. They have been utilized for T2DM for several years and just recently took center stage in the zeitgeist for weight loss (medically indicated or otherwise). Today, we will break down possible risks to mental health in patients using these medications and, on the flipside, potential areas where we could possibly use GLP-1s primarily to treat mental illness.
