TMS Applications in Mental Health Disordersr, Noah S Phillip, MD

“So, TMS or transcranial magnetic stimulation is using high school physics to help people feel better and, what I mean by that is that we take a high powered magnet, we put it over the part of the brain that’s involved in things like depression or anxiety or what have you. And we help those parts of the brain to work better.”

OCD Unraveled with Steven Rasmussen, MD, MMS

“Everyone can relate to what it’s like to worry about something. We all have worries about our jobs, about our personal lives. But patients with OCD worry about things that sometimes don’t make sense, and that distinguishes it from other types of worries, which all of us have and makes sense to us because they seem real for patients with OCD. What happens is, is that you start to worry about things that most people think would never happen, but it’s a potentially catastrophic sort of thing that could happen…”

7th Episode

Eating Disorders: from Awareness to Action with Brooke Huminski, LICSW

“We live in a culture that is quite disordered around food. It’s true. So when someone is experiencing a healthy relationship with food, they have flexibility. They’re able to go out to eat with their friends, pick food off a menu, and not really think much about it afterwards. Whereas in unhealthy eating, disordered eating, someone has rigidity around food, so they’re excluding large quantities of food. They’re going long hours of the day without eating. They may have certain rules about how much food they can have, how much food type they can have in one week.”

Addiction: Understanding Substance Use Disorders with Robert Swift, MD PhD

“…Substance use disorder is a medical condition as as defined by the World Health Organization and, in the United States, by The American Psychiatric Association. Eleven criteria are used to determine whether an individual has a substance use disorder. These criteria include taking a substance, using more than intended, using excessive amounts. Additionally, loss of control over the substance use, the inability to stop using it, and its use in situations that are harmful to oneself or potentially harmful to others (such as drunk driving) are also factors considered in its diagnosis.”

Expert Insights in Child and Adolescent Mental Health with Tammi-Marie Phillip, MD

” …. part of socialization is sort of learning how we function in this world. And you take that away and there’s nothing that can replace that. And so now, kids are sitting in front of screens, not having that typical socialization that they need for development. A lot of times are unmonitored and there’s a lot of information that is just there for them to access and use in whichever way they want without having the skills to properly use them.”

Unlocking Hope: Depression & Electroconvulsive Therapy with Alvaro Olivares, MD

“…we live critical times in the world with everything that is happening. One of the things that concerns me the most is the combination of psychosocial factors…hopelessness, social isolation, lack of emotional support from people…this pandemic has taken a significant emotional toll on patients and all of us. And I think that we experienced significant losses. And we really need to deal with that when it comes to depression. There has to be a really comprehensive approach to treat this condition. We, as a society, need to do more.”

Alzheimer's Disease with Meghan Riddle, MD

“…One of the most common presenting symptoms that people come to us with is short-term memory difficulties. We often hear that patients are asking the same questions over and over again, requiring more support and assistance. If you have any concerns, it is really important to be evaluated and bring those to your Primary Care provider so you can have a more thorough evaluation. Oftentimes, what is associated with potential normal aging may actually be an early Alzheimer’s dementia process…”

Anxiety Disorders with Kimberley Chiappone, MD

“….It is a stressful world that we live in, an anxiety-provoking world. And in some ways, anxiety is helpful for us. It helps get us ready to deal with a situation that we need to deal with…the problem is really when anxiety becomes overwhelming, when it, as you said, impacts functioning day-to-day, when it’s out of proportion with the situation, and that is when it crosses into becoming a disorder.”

Suicide Prevention with Lauren Weinstock, PhD

“…this isn’t an expression I made up myself, it comes from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. One of their recommendations is ‘to have an honest conversation.’ And I really love that because what that means is that you Are opening a door to a person to give them an opportunity to share what is going on in their lives.”
