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
Most research was done on Christian groups and in the west. We don't know if they occur in other religious groups - different patterns may occur but we haven't got the data on other beliefs.
Next up at #RCPsychIC is session S40 on ‘The placebo effect: insights for translational research and clinical practice’.
This will be chaired by Professor Samuele Cortese (@CorteseSamuele).
The first speaker in this session is Dr Nathan Huneke (@NathanHuneke) who will be talking about ‘Current knowledge of the placebo effect in anxiety disorders and future directions’
Nathan begins by highlighting 50 years of drug trials for anxiety disorders.
Very few have been successful because we don’t understand the neurobiology and there has been poor validity of pre-clinical trials.
First up in this session is Dr Rajeev Krishnadas (@WalkKD) from University of Glasgo. He was a guest editor for the BJPsych Special Issue and is talking about five points to consider when reading a translational machine learning paper.

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
