In NAMI Dr. Amador's book is in the extra information section. I have facilitated a few family-to-family classes. This illness is devastating! Thank you doctor for, your work. Great podcast!
This pocast was an excellent start to TAC's series. You mention wanting to hear from viewers about topics. I would like for there to be more discussion about delusional content and how this drives outcomes, because I think that this can be difference between survivability of the disease or not. I don't feel like this is addressed by treatment providers at all.
Thanks so much for watching and asking! I'll share your request with Dr. Amador! The second episode has been recorded so question answers may start in the third episode.
Hallucinogens, LSD, produce a similar state of altered reality pretty much like psychosis. As someone who worked in this area of reaearch, in neuroscience lab, dept of paychiatry, i myself have clinical depression, worked in community mental health. Guess im saying this seems hokey, your claims about things just dont have much weight. So, you worked with Beck, you arr not saying anything new or interesting. We know what psychosis is, and schizophrenia. Lack of insight is just that.
Hi! While many people with severe mental illness experience anosognosia (some studies have found roughly 50% of people with schizophrenia and 40% of people with bipolar disorder) there are many who do not. This following link summarizes research from 1992 to 2016 looking specifically at the anatomical differences between brains of individuals with severe mental illness where some have anosognosia and others do not: tac2.nonprofitsoapbox.com/evidence-and-research/learn-more-about/3628-serious-mental-illness-and-anosognosia The anatomical differences associated with this particular symptom compared with other individuals with SMI links the symptom to physical brain damage rather than psychological denial. This connection aligns with anosognosia we see in other conditions like Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and TBI. Anosognosia is important in the field of SMI because it is highly correlated with treatment adherence. Encouraging treatment to someone with anosognosia as if they were in denial can be ineffective and so it is helpful to focus on other strategies like the LEAP (Listen, Empathize, Agree, Partner) method Dr. Amador discusses in this video.
Excellent podcast on such an important topic -thank you, TAC!!
