Doorknob Comments was named for a phenomenon that sometimes happens at the end of a therapy session, when the patient may mention something important and riddled with conflict, right as you’re walking out the door. Equal parts frustrating and enlightening, it surfaces key issues which may--or may not!-- get addressed anytime soon.

    When Psychiatry Meets the Immune System with Dr. Tom Pollak

    In this episode of Doorknob Comments, Grant and Fara chat with Dr. Tom Pollak about the complex relationship between the immune system, the brain, and mental illness. Dr. Pollak is a NIHR Clinical Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London and a specialty trainee general adult psychiatrist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust with a specialist interest in neuropsychiatry. Listeners will learn how doctors distinguish true autoimmune brain disorders from primary psychiatric conditions, why tests like spinal fluid analysis are complicated but sometimes crucial, and how both “it’s all psychological” and “it’s all biological” explanations can miss the bigger picture. Their conversation offers a nuanced look at how mind, brain, body, and environment interact, and why good psychiatric care requires holding all of those pieces together. We hope you enjoy.  Resources and LinksDoorknob Comments https://www.doorknobcomments.com/ Dr. Tom Pollak https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/thomas-pollak https://drtompollak.substack.com/ Dr. Fara White https://www.farawhitemd.com/ Dr. Grant Brenner https://www.granthbrennermd.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/grant-h-brenner-md-dfapa/
