Gould, Ph.D., M.P.H. ,  Professor of Epidemiology in Psychiatry, CUMC/ Research Scientist, NYSPI.  Contact information: gouldm@nyspi.columbia.edu Moderator:  Alison Lake, M.A., Research Scientist and Project Director, NYSPI Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among college students in U.S., with approximately 1,100 students dying by suicide each year.  In addition, approximately 1% of undergraduates attempt suicide and 6-9% seriously consider suicide each year. It is recognized that youth suicide is influenced by many factors; research has indicated that one such factor is suicide contagion, a phenomenon to which teenagers and young adults are particularly vulnerable. Suicide contagion, sometimes referred to as suicide modeling, is the process wherein the direct or indirect knowledge of one suicide facilitates the occurrence of a subsequent suicide. There is ample evidence to support concerns about suicide contagion/modeling; several sources of this evidence will be presented.  Given the prevalence of suicide on college campuses, and the associated risk of contagion and clustering, it is imperative that colleges develop effective and comprehensive postvention strategies. This blogtalk will present specific postvention strategies that colleges and universities can use to limit the risk of further suicides through contagion.     00:56:00Columbia Psychiatry NYSPInomental health,Psychiatry,teens,depression,CollegePresenter: Madelyn S.

John Mann, MD, Director of Research and Director of Molecular Imaging and the Neuropathology Division at the New York State Psychiatric Institute Elizabeth Sublette, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, and Director of the MIND Research Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute Description: Bipolar Disorder is one of the top ten causes of medical disability and mortality in the World. Developing more effective and more rapidly acting treatments, especially for the depression phase which is the most debilitating, depends on a better understanding of the causes of bipolar disorders. This blog radio talk by two of Columbia University’s experts on bipolar disorder will describe the latest results from brain imaging studies and regulation of the body’s inflammatory defenses. It will explain how these findings can lead to new treatment approaches and diagnostic tools.

Barbara Stanley and J. John Mann will be speaking Every year, there are more than 30,000 suicides and ten times as many suicide attempts in the United States.  Better prevention is urgently required. That requires improving our knowledge of the causes of suicidal behavior.  We know psychiatric disorders, most commonly major depression, are associated with suicide. But most people with a psychiatric disorder never attempt suicide. The group at higher risk of suicide have a predisposition to suicidal behavior. Learning about how genes and childhood experiences affect how we deal with stress, depression and make decisions, and how those functions are in turn related to brain functioning are key to understanding why people die by suicide.  The Conte Center for Translational Neuroscience at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, has been at the forefront of this research.  Differences in brain circuitry in suicide attempters are linked to the predisposition to suicidal behavior and are the result of a combination of genes and childhood adversity. Evaluating brain circuitry of family members of those who have suicided or made serious nonlethal suicide attempts may identify a higher risk group.  The Conte Center for Suicide Prevention uses two brain imaging modalities, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), along with several biobehavioral measures to study risk and resilience factors for suicide in patients with major depression.  In this radio program, we will describe how we seek to prevent suicide by studying the brain biology and abnormalities in stress coping and mood regulation that increase risk of suicidal behavior, and then seeking ways to reverse these effects. 00:25:00Columbia Psychiatry NYSPInoPsychiatry,mental health,brain,stress,ResearchDrs.

McGrath, M.D. Professor of Clinical Psychiatry Sarah Fader, Founder & CEO, Stigma Fighters Despite years of progress, the stigma of having a mood disorder like depression, or an anxiety disorder like panic disorder is still considerable.  People experience disbelief from family, co-workers, and friends that this is a medical problem rather than a matter of needing to exert willpower and fortitude.  Sarah Fader and her organization, Stigma Fighters are working hard to address this issue for people with these disorders and will discuss her advocacy work in this regard.  Even when a mood or anxiety disorder has been diagnosed and is being treated, unfortunately selection of the correct treatment is still a matter of trial and error, with the attendant delay and frustration.  Dr. Patrick McGrath is engaged in a pioneering study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, called EMBARC, which seeks to make the first steps toward a future where testing will help predict which treatment will be most effective.  Ms. Fader and Dr. McGrath will discuss these efforts to assist those having these disorders."

Interesting similarities and differences in placebo response occur between psychiatric disorders, which can be informative about both the mechanisms of action of placebo response as well as the pathophysiology of the disorder in question For more information about our research programs and clinical services, please contact them at:(646) 774-8664 http://columbiapsychiatry.org/faculty/researchclinics/adult-and-late-life-depression-research-clinic/studies-for-depression  To read Dr. Rutherford's recently published paper on the role of patient expectancy of Placebo and Nocebo effects in antideressant trials   http://www.psychiatrist.com/privatepdf/oap/13m08797.pdf To listen to any of our archived blogtalk show on topics such as eating disorders, substance abuse or OCD please go to blogtalkradio.com/columbiapsychiatrynyspi   00:01:00Columbia Psychiatry NYSPInoPsychiatry,mental health,Placebo,Treatment,geriatricsTodays speakers are Steven Roose, M.D. Director of Late Life Depression Research Clinic and Bret Rutherford, MD Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry   1http://www.blogtalkradio.com/columbiapsychiatrynyspi/2014/06/25/lgbt-health-and-well-being-across-the-lifespanHealthhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/columbiapsychiatrynyspi/2014/06/25/lgbt-health-and-well-being-across-the-lifespan/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/columbiapsychiatrynyspi/2014/06/25/lgbt-health-and-well-being-across-the-lifespanWed, 25 Jun 2014 19:00:00 GMTLGBT Health and Well-Being across the LifespanToday's speaker is Dr. Robert Kertzner.

ECT treatments started in late 30's  2. Today's ECT is very different than from that of 15-20 years ago. Efforts to make the treatment more focal and physiologic consistent with normal functioning have resulted in a dramatic decrease in the memory loss that accompanied the treatment in its early decades.  3. ECT has the highest success rate of all treatments for depression (There is a 40-60-% response rate with medications comparesd with a 75% response rate or higher with ECT).. 4. Current research focuses on understanding the areas of the brain that are related to symptoms, prediction of response, as well as further reduction of side-effects. 5. Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is a new potential treatment with magnetically induced seizures that can target brain regions more selectively than ECT.  6. Cognitive remediation, computer tasks that are like exercise for the brain, is being developed to prevent and mitigate the cognitive side effects of the treatment such as memory and problem-solving. Research is also looking at brain circuits to further define possibilities for making convulsive therapy easier to tolerate.

This drug contains psychoactive compounds that can affect thinking, feelings and behavior. Teenagers’ attitudes and beliefs about Marijuana often come from personal experiences, convictions, lore, or information obtained from pseudo-authoritative sources. It is well known that teenagers’ decisions to begin and continue using marijuana are influenced by the attitudes and beliefs of peers, adults in their lives, media figures, and lawmakers, and less so from objective data. It is therefore important to educate ourselves and teens about the medical and scientific facts of marijuana.  In this blog radio program, we will answer important questions about marijuana and teens. We will cover important information about patterns of marijuana use by teens, the effects of marijuana on the maturing brain, and the effects of policy on marijuana use by teens. We will also talk more broadly about addiction, adolescent brain development, mental health in adolescence, and how to talk to teens about marijuana.       If you’re a parent, concerned about your child - call 646-774-8066  for an evaluation.

And what can we do about it?Sarabjit Singh, MD and Colleen Cullen, PsyD Drs. Sarabjit Singh and Colleen Cullen will talk about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is one of the most common pediatric psychiatry disorders. The focus of the talk will be to mention presenting clinical features, course of the disorder, and how the diagnosis is made. Specifically the need for collateral information to be obtained in order to ascertain the level of impairment in different settings, along with the necessity of both subjective ( e.g. Phone calls teachers, classroom observation) and objective information-such as rating scales, will be discussed. Next they will discuss other conditions that may co-occur such as- Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Learning Disorders, Substance Use Disorders and Mood Disorders. Finally, they will talk about treatments-both pharmacological and psychotherapy (behavioral, parent-child interaction therapy, group therapy, social skills training etc.), which are often used in conjunction with medications to treat ADHD, to help minimize the impairment stemming from the disorder.  One of the key elements of treatment besides medication is giving psychoeducation to the parents of the child with ADHD about the disorder, including but not limited to the short and long term side effects of medications, prognosis and long term outcomes of treated vs. untreated ADHD. Also, parents often need assistance in parenting the child, and hence treatment should focus on helping families with parenting skills. The aforementioned interventions will be addressed in detail. The talk will end with concluding remarks on ADHD and the evidence based treatments, along with future directions.
