Just went to see 'A want in her' - a simultaneously harrowing, poignant and hopeful documentary about addiction and mental illness from the perspective of daughter (and director) Myrid Carten. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ youtu.be/YybSZmwWaz4?...

The series has been excellent. The concepts have been a helpful supplement to my training and should really be core to all psychiatry education.

I am constantly overwhelmed by the generosity of clinicians, academics and those with lived experience who have given up their precious time to speak for the SPG over the last 4 years 🙏🏻 Very excited to have Prof Luiz Pessoa (Entangled Brain) joining us on 20th Nov :) youtube.com/@speculative...

This should be fun! 😀

Heartspur n.an unexpected surge of emotion in response to a seemingly innocuous trigger—the distinctive squeal of a rusty fence, a key change in an old pop song, the hint of a certain perfume—which feels all the more intense because you can’t quite pin it down.
