info_outline #50: 9-8-8: The New Crisis Hotline 04/27/2022
#50: 9-8-8: The New Crisis Hotline We all know that the US is in a mental health crisis. Fortunately, 988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This will signify that mental health is as important as physical health, and is expected to greatly increase use of the hotline. This week’s guest is Kimberly A. Williams, the President and CEO of the Vibrant Emotional Health, a nonprofit organization which reaches over 2.5 million people each year to help them achieve emotional well-being through high quality, innovative programs. As CEO, Williams has overseen the expansion of Vibrant’s premier programs they administer, including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, the Disaster Distress Helpline, and NYC Well, New York City’s leading edge, multi-lingual, multi-modal contact center program that responds around the clock to the mental health needs of over 300,000 New Yorkers every year. Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J. Kennedy for an in-depth discussion with Kim Williams on the 988 rollout and Vibrant’s other initiatives.

info_outline #48: Genetics and the Complexity of the Human Brain 03/30/2022
#48: Genetics and the Complexity of the Human Brain Neurogeneticists are modern day astronauts, taking us into inner space instead of outer space to explore the undiscovered neurons and networks in our brains. They are utilizing advances in genome sequencing to better grasp the cause of brain and nerve disorders, both to improve treatment, and to reduce stigma around these conditions. “When I started out in the field and started my laboratory, we were stymied in terms of identifying genes with any confidence that were contributing to psychiatric disorders in childhood. And that's despite tons of evidence that genes play a really important role in most of the disorders that arise in childhood. They're not faint. They don't dictate everything. But there's tons of evidence that they play an important role. But it was a really hard problem. And we had not figured out–and frankly, we didn't have the technology to reliably identify genes that were playing a major role in these disorders. And so I started a lab to see whether or not we could do that… after the turn of millennium, around 2007, 2008, we were one of the first labs to be able to identify with confidence, [a] specific gene playing a role in common forms of autism.” - Matthew State, MD, PhD Matthew State MD, PhD is the Oberndorf Family Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (DPBS), President of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital and Clinics, and member of the Weill Institute for Neurosciences at the University of California, San Francisco. He is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and human geneticist. Over the past 20 years, his laboratory has contributed to major advances in the genetics and biology of developmental neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Tourette disorder (TD). Under his leadership, the UCSF DPBS has championed collaboration across the neurosciences at UCSF and pursued a major expansion of research, clinical services and advocacy, including overseeing the construction of the Nancy Friend Pritzker Psychiatry Building and the Joan and Sanford I Weill Neurosciences Building. He has championed multiple initiatives at the intersection of mental health and diversity, equity and inclusion, human rights, homelessness, and climate change. He has been the recipient of numerous awards including a Distinguished Citizen Award from the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, the Ruane Prize from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, and the Rhoda and Bernard Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health from the US National Academy of Medicine. He was elected to membership in the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in 2013. Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J. Kennedy for an in-depth discussion with Dr. State on our broken mental health system and how advances in genetics contribute to fixing it.

info_outline #47: Race and Mental Health 03/16/2022
#47: Race and Mental Health One of the good things that came out of the past few years has been a greater reckoning with and understanding about racism. The very systems embedded in American society treat people unequally based on their race. This affects how people of different races see themselves and interact with each other, which can impact a person’s mental health. While these ideas are becoming more widely understood, today’s guest, Dr. Janet Helms, has been studying race and mental health for over 40 years. She believes, as we do, that all people should be treated equitably. But unfortunately, that is often not the case. Therefore, Dr. Helms has dedicated her career to understanding how and why there is inequity. In her work, she has created more culturally responsive care and research to encourage mental health providers to attend to racial and cultural issues in their practices and institutions to help them improve mental health care. Janet E. Helms, PhD, is the Augustus Long Professor Emeritus in the Department of Counseling, Developmental, and Educational Psychology and Director of the Institute for the Study and Promotion of Race and Culture at Boston College. Dr. Helms’s work has been acknowledged with many awards including the national Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award for mentoring students, an engraved brick in Iowa State University’s Plaza of Heroines, and the “Distinguished Career Contributions to Research” Award from the Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues, the American Psychological Association’s Awards for “Distinguished Contributions to Education and Training in Psychology” (2006) and the Award for “Distinguished Contributions to Research in Public Policy” (2008). Recently, Dr. Helms was the recipient of the 2017-2018 Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award from the Society of Counseling Psychology, the 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award from APA's Society for the Psychological Study of Culture Ethnicity, and Race, and the APA/APF Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Public Interest.

info_outline #46: Dr. Matthew Johnson on Psychedelics and Therapy 03/02/2022
#46: Dr. Matthew Johnson on Psychedelics and Therapy Stigma around psychedelics appears to be fading in this country. Interest in evidence-based ways to enhance treatment is on the rise - including research into the potential found by adding psilocybin–otherwise known as magic mushrooms–as well as MDMA, Ketamine, LSD, and Ayahuasca, especially with the expansion of mental health needs brought on by the pandemic. Studies are showing exciting results about the possibility for psychedelics to help people with treatment-resistant mental health disorders, including chronic depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder. “This is what makes psychedelics unique as potential medicines: they sort of open a window of opportunity, and we know biologically, there seems to be more mental flexibility. And based on animal research more–what we call–neuroplasticity.” - Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D. But there is still much to learn about what these medications do, how they work, how to administer them safely, and how to mitigate the risks they may pose, especially as recreational use of psychedelics may increase as a side-effect of their increasing visibility. Our guest, Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, is the Susan Hill Ward Professor in Psychedelics and Consciousness, and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins. He is one of the world’s most published scientists on the human effects of psychedelics, and has conducted seminal research in the behavioral economics of substance use , and risk behavior.

info_outline #45: Kristen Dunphy, Creator of Showtime Series 'Wakefield,' on Psychiatric Hospitals 11/10/2021
#45: Kristen Dunphy, Creator of Showtime Series 'Wakefield,' on Psychiatric Hospitals In Wakefield, Kristen channeled her experience with mental illness into an art form to try to help reverse the stigma around mental health. Psychiatric hospitals are not typically portrayed in true fashion on TV, but are heavily stereotyped – which is part of the problem. Kristen is passionate about the concept of where is the line between mental health and living with untreated mental health symptoms, and exploring that in an entertaining and darkly comedic way. Kristen also took a big risk to bring Wakefield to the small screen. She realized to get the project financed, she would need to reveal the authenticity behind its creation, but she felt exposing her experience of being hospitalized could potentially ruin her career. However, Kristen felt that it was worth the risk to help fight mental health stigma and help others with mental health issues.

#44: Sobriety and Recovering Out Loud with Kelsey Moreira There are at least 23 million people in long term recovery from substance use in the United States. Despite this, recovery is still a largely hidden and stigmatized issue.

info_outline #43: David Guth on Telehealth, Political Polarization, and Clinician Shortages 10/20/2021
#43: David Guth on Telehealth, Political Polarization, and Clinician Shortages The pandemic accelerated the demand for tele-mental health services. However, there is a shortage of clinicians. Those who do get help often have to settle for a provider with the wrong specialty, or no speciality at all. Fortunately, organizations like Centerstone--led by our guest David Guth--are working hard to make telehealth ubiquitous, and to match people with the right clinicians. "When we talk about matching individuals with clinicians that are specifically competent in their area of presentation, we've got to do that in a tele-health environment. Because otherwise, what you're looking at is geographical proximity of the clinicians and the people seeking care. And it's gotten so specialized that you really need to be able to offer your compliment of specialists over a broader geography.” -David Guth David Guth, is the chief executive officer and co-founder of Centerstone, one of the nation's largest behavioral health care providers. He has over 40 years of behavioral health care experience. He's an expert on the adoption of information technology in the healthcare industry, the integration of behavioral and primary health, and the importance of improving the field with research-driven practices and protocols. Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J. Kennedy for an in-depth discussion with David Guth on the importance of telehealth, and the unique challenges it creates, as well as a wide-ranging conversation about the state of mental health in America today.

Best of: Johnny C. Taylor Jr. on America's Empathy Deficit We're taking a week off from releasing new episodes, so today we wanted to re-up one of our favorite episodes of the show, a conversation with Johnny C. Taylor Jr., CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). With more than 300,000 members around the globe, SHRM promotes the role of HR as a profession and provides education, certification, and networking to its members, while lobbying Congress on issues pertinent to labor management. In this episode, we discuss the idea that furthering diversity was at the center of the 20th century, while inclusion is the issue of the 21st century. According to Taylor, workforces underestimated just how complicated diversity is to manage. He shares his belief that empathy will bridge that gap between diversity and inclusion, and lead us towards a better future.

info_outline #42: How Do We Tolerate a System That is So Dysfunctional? 10/06/2021
#42: How Do We Tolerate a System That is So Dysfunctional? This week, we revisit a conversation on issues facing our mental health care system as a whole. Our guest, Dr. Patrick Conway, has experienced this system, “as an individual, as a family member, and as a practicing physician,” as well as at the top ranks of insurance companies. He is not satisfied with how the system does—and often does not—work, and has spent his career focused on mental health care reform. "Our system doesn’t get access to people when and how they need it. It doesn’t measure and improve outcomes as it should. It doesn’t integrate well with primary care and whole-person care… It affects everyone in America in some fashion. So how do we tolerate a system that is so dysfunctional?” -Dr. Patrick Conway Patrick Conway, MD, MSc, is the CEO of Care Solutions at Optum, part of UnitedHealth Group, serving tens of millions of people across acute and post-acute care, care in the home in-person and virtually, mental and behavioral care benefits and delivery, broad population and complex disease health management, specialty care, and government health services. He previously served as President and CEO of Blue Cross North Carolina, Chief Medical Officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Director of Hospital Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and as Chief Medical Officer for the Department of Health and Human Services. Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J. Kennedy for an in-depth discussion with Dr. Conway on the importance of combining treatment of mental and behavioral health, the impact of the pandemic on the mental health space, what effect new bio-metric technologies will have on mental health, and how Dr. Conway’s own experience with substance use inspires his work.

info_outline #41: Suicide Prevention: We All Play a Role 09/29/2021
#41: Suicide Prevention: We All Play a Role Suicide is the ultimate tragedy. The lack of mental health awareness and treatment access in this country plays a contributing role. It is seen as something that is out of our control, a decision people make, or as a surprise. We often see words like “unexpected” in obituaries. However, research has shown us that the solutions to this collective problem are well understood. And we must implement these solutions to prevent suicide. “There is so much that we can do now based on the science, to know when the right time is to intervene, and also to use a public health approach, where even before we get to the point of intervention, all children, all people in the population are exposed to the same levels of education[al] messages, [and a] safe and supportive culture.” -Christine Moutier, M.D. This week we are joined by Christine Moutier, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to talk about suicide among veterans and young people, and biological factors that put people at higher risk for suicide. We also explore the solutions to preventing suicide, including how we can be better at implementing them. Everyone has a role to play to stop suicide.

#40: The LA Homeless Crisis is Changing Mental Health Care Everywhere If we really seek to reform mental health, we have to focus on where the rubber hits the road in communities. At the county level, this is where often disparate local, state, and federal budgets are integrated. When those budgets are merged, they can allow for the kind of innovation that our guest Dr. John Sherin has pioneered in LA county. "Our government invests a tremendous amount of money in delivery of health and human services. And that money really needs to go into the communities and not into bureaucracy.” -Dr. Jon Sherin Dr. John Sherin, Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, oversees America’s largest public mental health department with an annual budget approaching $3 billion. Dr. Sherin is a longtime health advocate who has worked tirelessly throughout his career on behalf of vulnerable populations. Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J.

#37: Lessons From The Frontline Of Mental Health In The Military, With Marjorie Morrison How do warriors cope after the enduring traumas of war? What can we learn from the military about mental health? In the second of three ‘Pillar Episodes’, Patrick J. Kennedy turns the tables on his co-host Marjorie Morrison, to ask her about her past life working with the U.S. Marines. “There's a lot of progress that's been made, but it's a really broken system. So I sound like you [Patrick] when I say this, but it comes from mental health and physical health being separated really from the beginning.” -Marjorie Morrison Marjorie’s focus on supporting members of the military and their communities was first developed in the field, after she spent a year writing and implementing a revolutionary proactive counseling program for the U.S. Marines. After working with 500 Marine drill instructors, her innovative program continued at Camp Pendleton, where she was able to work with hundreds of Marines to interview and learn from. This implementation research was utilized to create a groundbreaking solution to approach military mental health care. She continued this work as Founder and CEO of PsychArmor Institute, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, committed to bridging the military-civilian divide through free education. Listen today as Patrick J. Kennedy and Marjorie Morrison discuss ongoing challenges including how the military community is often isolated, the complexity of trauma-related symptoms, mismatched incentives among payors and providers, and important solutions for the future.

#36: Patrick J Kennedy On CBT, Recovery, And How Covid Has Impacted Mental Health and The Stigma That Surrounds It. Does recovery really work? Is COVID changing the future of mental health? What inspired Patrick to open up about the Kennedy family's experience with substance use? In the first of three new 'Pillar Episodes,' we want to help you, our listener, get to know the remarkable people at the helm of Psych Hub and The Future Of Mental Health Podcast. In this episode, we get somewhat raw and vulnerable with our extraordinary hosts, Psych Hub's Marjorie Morrison, and Former Politician Patrick Kennedy. "My family, like everyone else's, didn't want to talk about these issues. We kept them silent and secret, and we were largely in denial - and as a result, all of our illnesses never got treated properly. They got a lot worse…the fact that we've never had people being able to speak up for themselves within the medical system means the medical system really hasn't been responsive. And hence most of us get treated at the very end of a long pathology of these illnesses, and it's very hard to recover". Patrick Kennedy Psych Hub co-founders Marjorie Morrison and Patrick J. Kennedy have been fighting for a preventative approach to mental health throughout their careers. Morrison spent a year writing and implementing a revolutionary proactive counseling program for the U.S. Marines before founding PsychArmor, the nation's leading organization providing military mental health education. While serving as a US Congressman, Patrick fought to end discrimination against mental illness, substance use , and other brain disorders. He is best known as the lead sponsor of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. The Federal Parity Law requires insurers to cover treatment for mental health and substance use disorders on par with treatment for physical health illnesses like diabetes and cancer. Listen today as Patrick J. Kennedy and Marjorie Morrison talk about why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is their favorite form of therapy for them personally, the broad changes that we need in the healthcare industry to improve the future of mental health, and so much more.
