Journalism, Journalists and Mental Wellness

2023/07/25

Journalists are facing threats and hostility in more countries than ever before, according to this year’s World Press Freedom Index, an annual report published by Reporters without Borders. The index analyses legal and physical threats to journalists. This episode focuses on potential consequences - emotional difficulties and compromised well-being. The discussion was filmed with a live audience, featuring a panel with Katy Katopodis, Katleho Sekhotho and Ahmed Kajee.

Psychiatry - Quo Vadis?

2023/07/18

Psychiatry is unique amongst medical disciplines in embracing a truly holistic approach to patient assessment and care. However, in our desire for acceptance and credibility as a medical discipline, has Psychiatry strayed from what makes it unique? Has Psychiatry overcompensated biologically, in order to be viewed as truly medical? In this episode, we are joined by Prof Vikram Patel and Prof Suvira Ramlall. Community pharmacist Sham Moodley then explains the role that some pharmacists can play in counselling patients.

Youth Self-Harm and Suicidality

2023/07/10

Cutting or burning oneself, amongst other behaviours, would be for most anathema. Yet for some it is a source of relief... a release, a way of coping. On this episode, we are joined by Prof Mark Goldblatt and Dr Wendy Duncan.

PTSD: Crime, Trauma, Justice & Healing

2023/07/04

Gender-based violence and sexual assault are traumas potentially associated with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Prof Soraya Seedat and Dr Gerard Labuschagne join us on this episode, as we delve into this pervasive entity in the lives of many South Africans.

Psychiatry in the Workplace

2023/06/27

Employee wellness is a key component of organisational effectiveness. Where ill health and absenteeism or impaired functioning is a consequence of psychiatric illness, the system is faced with challenges that require specific awareness and understanding. For this episode, we are joined by Prof. Stoffel Grobler and Nika Grobler. Jackie Maimin from the Independent Community Pharmacy Association then joins us again to discuss how to get the best from your medical aid benefits.

Loneliness

2023/06/19

Imagine a condition that makes a person irritable, depressed and self-centred, and is associated with a 26% increase in the risk of premature mortality. Imagine too, that in industrialised countries around a third of people are affected by this condition... and that these proportions are increasing. Such a condition exists – loneliness. We are joined by Dorianne Weil and Liane Lurie for this episode.

Childhood Sexual Abuse

2023/06/12

Adverse Childhood Experiences are increasingly understood to play a significant role in the development of a range of not only psychiatric - but also non-psychiatric - conditions. Experiences such as sexual and physical abuse, as well as neglect, occur frequently in childhood. We are joined by Luke Lamprecht and Edith Kriel for this hard-hitting discussion.

Sexual Health and Psychiatry

2023/06/06

Is sex central to our existence? Consider what your life might be like without sex. Sex is also political... and political ideology impacts health behaviours. What has sex and sexuality got to do with psychiatry? Joining us to discuss this are Dr Elna Rudolph and Dr Franco Colin.

Suicide and the Media

2023/05/30

The role of the news media in reporting events and reflecting social opinion serves to inform consumers. The question is how to balance reporting - providing facts without undue sensation. To discuss the media within the context of suicide reporting, we’re joined by Dr Frans Korb and Prof. Lizette Rabe.

Ageing

2023/05/23

Ageing... there’s no escaping it. It has been said that youth is wasted on the young, but what is 'young' – a number, or a state of mind? Dr Lara Greenstein and Professor Carla Kotze are our guests. Jackie Maimin from the Independent Community Pharmacy Association then joins us to discuss the use of medication in the elderly.

Poverty and Mental Illness

2023/05/16

"Poverty is both a cause of mental health problems, and a consequence” (Knifton & Inglis, 2020). Prof Crick Lund, Dr John Parker and Danny Diliberto join us for this episode.

Trauma and Disorders of Stress

2023/05/09

The term ‘trauma’ is very widely used, and the experience of trauma is cited as underlying a host of psychiatric conditions. On this episode, we are joined by Dr Kerry-Ann Louw, along with “Alice” from the @aliceandtheprof Instagram account, who shares her personal experiences.
