Psychiatry with an Accent Psychyatry with an Accent

So everyone is talking about coronavirus. We are too! On the second episode of our podcast Psychiatry with an Accent, we discuss how the Covid-19 crisis impact mental health.
Psychiatrists Elisa Brietzke, Nazanin Alavi, Mohammed Al-Alawi, and Claudio Soares talked about how to keep your mental health during periods of social distancing, how does this situation impact patients that already face a psychiatric disorder and how does it feel for doctors and other health professionals to be trained and to work during the pandemics. They also commented how different countries have been facing Covid-19 and what to expect from the future.

On March 30, the world celebrates... Vincent van Gogh's birthday. But also, it is a day to raise awareness about Bipolar Disorder, a condition that affects around 1% of the world's population and that some specialists believe affected van Gogh himself.
To celebrate, we gathered two psychiatrists, a nurse, an undergrad student and a journalist at Kingston General Hospital (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) to discuss bipolar disorder and its impact on individuals and the society.
Psychiatry with an Accent is the new podcast of the Department of Psychiatry at Queen's University. We want to highlight the diversity of our team and establish communication beyond our walls, contributing to society's understanding of mental health.
We are excited to start talking about psychiatry with you, and we hope to get your feedback on what we're doing and what kind of topics you would like to hear more about. Thanks for being with us!
