The Core of Psychiatry is Changing – Neuroscience Evidence Changes Thinking
We’ve been talking about the evolution of psychiatry here at CorePsych Blog for more than 3 years – and you know from these pages that mind progress has been dramatic. From SPECT brain imaging, to NeuroScience testing, the new technology provides distinctive different ways to understand old problems.
This January 26 & 27, just a few weeks away, you will have an opportunity to take a deeper step into that change process: The Holistic Health Virtual Conference: Empowering Whole People – I hope you can join me there.
This Holistic Health conference introduces a different view for the new year: Science applied to Health: mind and body connections – all hooked up with evidence that works in everyday life – from some of the most respected national thought leaders.
Hosted by the quick and effervescent Jennifer Koretsky, the conference will have that same here-is-what-to-do-next, bottom line, street-smart focus on applications, not theory. Jennifer hosted the Virtual AD/HD Conference last year, and is the author of Odd One Out: The Mavericks Guide to Adult ADD, and brings an easy-listening experience to her conferences.
Join me with other esteemed colleagues:
- Notably: Daniel Amen MD: Pioneer in brain imaging evidence – has written 23 books, has appeared on PBS regularly, and is a national thought leader in psychiatry who has significantly changed our outlook on the use of brain evidence in everyday office practice. I had the privilege of working with Daniel for 4 years, starting in 2003 with our opening of Amen Clinic DC, in Reston, VA, – and can report without reservation that the tour with him up there significantly changed my professional life – my practice of psychiatry. When you hear his presentation, you will agree, he is one of the very best speakers out there. Engaging, witty, humorous and practical, he will be talking about mind body connections and will definitely get you thinking about evidence that works.

- My presentation: So much of our current health delivery system in psychiatry is limited only to the best in psychopharmacology – and directed to illness in the moment. Frequently, speaking from my own past experience, we have limited our view to the synapse, as the only tools we have used are medications that hit those brain synaptic connections. With new tools, new evidence, and new thinking, we now have a much more comprehensive way to measure brain health.We are rapidly moving from macro to micro in our new assessment strategies. I will summarize what you need to know to get started. Bottom line: Comprehensive thinking beats categorical thinking every time.
The challenge: How to put all the evidence together for your comprehensive care, and for comprehensive self care. My presentation will take you into the molecular and cellular measurements now available to understand immune, hormone and neurotransmitter assessments – without tying you down with jargon. These new measurement tools are readily available, are often quite cost effective, and will tell you volumes about your brain and body connections and, as mentioned above: what -to-do- next.
It won’t matter who you are, public or professional, you need to hear this information to effectively practice 21st century health medicine, 21st century self care. Start the New Year right: Holistic Health Conference.
