On the last day of Virtual Congress we have our wonderful talk on "Speaking the Unspoken - Culture, Trauma and Perinatal Psychopathology." Here is an outline of what will be covered in the discussion #RCPsychIC
Our speakers today are Dr Regi Alexander @regalexa the Associate Dean for Advanced Learning and Prof Prabha Chandra @globalpmh the Professor of Psychiatry at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences #RCPsychIC
Prof Prabha Chandra @globalpmh discusses the effect of historical child abuse on mothers, a pattern that is seen globally. @globalpmh also draws attention to the fact women fear their own child may experience the same abuse #RCPsychIC
Discussing marriages in rural areas of India which can happen at a young age, Prof Prabha Chandra @globalpmh discusses the gender discrimination and trauma certain case studies have experienced #RCPsychIC
How does trauma manifest? It manifests based on cultural scripts of that country or specific area, these cultural scripts show how trauma manifests in a clinical setting as well @globalpmh#RCPsychIC
@globalpmh Prof Prabha Chandra @globalpmh addresses different types of trauma in the perinatal period which can be historical, relational, social, cultural and systemic #RCPsychIC
What kind of trauma can young women face in areas of India? Rejection for arranged marriages, dowry disputes, forced marriage and separation from primary care-givers are among the types of trauma @globalpmh brings our attention to #RCPsychIC
Always talk about the cultural issues surrounding motherhood, do not assume that because a woman has transitioned from one culture to another, that she has left her previous culture behind. An incredible discussion from @globalpmh#RCPsychIC

So -we're nearly at the end of our first virtual #RCPsychIC - but there's one more set of split sessions to go! On this thread you can follow the 57th split session of this amazing event, which is about Dual Diagnosis from the public, clinical + academic perspective.
Our first speaker is Caroline Turiff, who has been diagnosed with a range of conditions inc OCD and PTSD, and is an award winning investigative broadcast journalist. #RCPsychIC
I've read 70% of people with drug dependency who have a dual diagnosis so it is the norm for them, she says. #RCPsychIC
Hope everyone had a good lunch! Now we look at the lessons we can learn from the 'asylum era', chaired by @DianeGoslar, an expert by experience. We'll also hear from @PeterNaxos, @claire_hilton6 and Dr Allan Beveridge. #RCPsychIC
@DianeGoslar@PeterNaxos@claire_hilton6 Change is desperately needed – such as the total dismantling of stigma – but we have evidence change can happen, says @DianeGoslar. One example of change is that Diane, a patient, is chairing this session. #RCPsychIC
@DianeGoslar@PeterNaxos@claire_hilton6 The first story comes from @PeterNaxos, who speaks of Henrietta, a patient in Kingston Asylum, in 1859. She found within herself a resolve she was never aware of, which enabled her to survive a situation which was totally at odds with anything she'd experienced before. #RCPsychIC
