  • Psych News Special Report: Communicating the Neurobiology of MDD
    Dec 12 2025

    On this episode of Psychiatric News Special Report, host Dr. Adrian Preda talks with psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Chloe Page about what modern brain science really tells us about major depressive disorder. Drawing on the December 2025 Special Report, they walk through the rise and limits of the "chemical imbalance" story, how media coverage of the Moncrieff serotonin review fueled public mistrust, and why a neuroplasticity framework offers a richer and more accurate way to understand depression. Along the way, they explore how stress, genetics, inflammation and brain circuits converge on reduced plasticity, why antidepressants can help even when serotonin is not the whole story, and how psychotherapy, exercise, neuromodulation and medication can work together to get a "stuck" brain moving again. The conversation highlights the power of metaphors, honest communication and shared decision making to rebuild trust and help patients make sense of both the science and their own experience of depression.

  • Mente sana, gente sana: fe, comunidad y salud mental
    Dec 5 2025

    En este episodio de Mente Sana, Gente Sana, el Dr. Héctor Colón-Rivera se sienta con el psiquiatra e investigador en salud mental global Dr. Víctor Pereira-Sánchez para explorar cómo la fe, la migración y la comunidad se entrecruzan en la salud mental de los latinos e hispanos. Basándose en su experiencia en Washington Heights y en su propia formación espiritual en España, el Dr. Pereira-Sánchez describe el papel central que desempeñan las iglesias en la vida de los inmigrantes, desde el apoyo social y el sentido de pertenencia hasta el arraigo espiritual en momentos de crisis.

    Hablan de cómo los sacerdotes y los líderes religiosos suelen convertirse en el primer punto de contacto para las personas que sufren depresión, ansiedad o pensamientos suicidas, y de lo que puede suceder cuando el estigma, la culpa o la desinformación alejan a las personas de la atención sanitaria. La conversación destaca formas concretas en que las parroquias pueden convertirse en espacios más saludables desde el punto de vista mental, incluyendo la alfabetización en salud mental, los ministerios de presencia y la colaboración con los médicos. El episodio también analiza cómo la tecnología y los servicios transmitidos en vivo están remodelando la vida religiosa, las señales de alerta que las familias deben observar en los niños y adolescentes, y consejos prácticos para quienes buscan una nueva comunidad religiosa o desean ser voluntarios en una.

    Nov 20 2025

    In this episode of Breaking the Silence from APA's More Equity in Mental Health series, Dr. Laika Rose Simeon-Thompson sits down with child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Anjali Gupta to explore how depression affects teen girls and young women. Dr. Gupta explains what is happening in the adolescent brain, how social media and generational trauma shape risk, and why supportive schools, families, and mentors can be lifesaving. They also discuss barriers to care, what emergency departments are seeing on the front lines, and practical messages for parents, educators, and communities that want to show up for girls in crisis. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of both the vulnerabilities and the strengths of this generation of young women.
