In one of our final split session talks of #RCPsychIC 2021, we'll be hearing from @RachelUTG, @PsychMarwaha and @sameerjauhar, chaired by Professor Allan Young: Care of Adult Mental Ill-Health: Getting it right from the start.
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar Now we're looking at rTMS in young people with depression with @PsychMarwaha. There's a need for treatments in this area, for various reasons - including that it predicts physical health problems, as well as anxiety and bipolar disorder #RCPsychIC
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar Here are the current pharmacological options. But what happens when you run out of these options? rTMS is an option Dr Marwaha looked into at this point. #RCPsychIC
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar The results of this meta-analysis are interesting - all studies analysed showed some effect. The impact on younger people actually appeared to be greater than you might find on older people. Side affects appeared by be relatively mild, says #psychmarwaha at #RCPsychIC
@RachelUTG@PsychMarwaha@sameerjauhar In summary, results are promising but both the quantity and quality of evidence is lacking. Larger, better trials are needed, preferably within the NHS and the sham effect needs to be accounted for, says @PsychMarwaha at #RCPsychIC
Join us now in the auditorium of Virtual Congress to see one of our last talks of the day: "How to work with homeless people" #RCPsychIC
The agenda on today's talk is "Making services work for homeless people" with Dr Philip Timms @philip_timms a Consultant psychiatrist at the National Psychosis Service #RCPsychIC
After that, we have "Trauma-focussed practice with homeless people" with Dr Peter Cockersell @petercockersell the Chief Executive at Community Housing and Therapy #RCPsychIC
Our final session of #RCPsychC virtual Congress we are talking about Religious Delusions and Hallucinations: Significance, meaning, and narrative with Dr Alison J Gray @revdraligray, Professor Christopher C.H. Cook @cchcook and Dr Angela Woods @literarti
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
We have a couple more sessions to go, so tune into our session: Digital Psychiatry and the service user experience in a pandemic with Dr. Cyrus Abbasian @abbasian, Dr. Mariana Pinto da Costa (from @QMUL) & Millie Smith @milliesmith1979#RCPsychIC
Dr. Cyrus Abbasian @abbasian will be discussing first
