It's time for Neuroethics to make today’s news. Katherine Bassil, an upcoming neuroscientist and neuroethics enthusiast, has always tried to advocate for bridging the fields of neuroscience and neuroethics together. The absence of similar enterprises from the community makes it even more difficult for Katherine to achieve her goal. Join Katherine on her mission to show that being a neuroscientist and Neuroethics advocate, is the way for responsible brain innovation. The Neuroethics Today Podcast brings you interviews with experts in the field, where Neuroethics will question the science.

Karen Herrera-Ferrá - "We need more aggressive education."

During Episode 9 of Season 2, we decided to focus our attention on mental health equity, namely mental health equity between low/middle-income and high-income countries. Katherine Bassil - founder and host - together with Dr. Karen Herrera-Ferrá - clinical MD, clinical psychologist, cognitive behavioral therapist, and founder and former president of the Mexican Association of Neuroethics - discuss the drivers of mental health disparities in low income countries, with a focus on Mexico (her home country), highlighting the cultural, socio-economic factors contributing to challenges in ensuring mental health equity. Dr. Herrera-Ferrá weighs in as an expert in neuroethics but also building on some real-life cases based on her experience as a mental health clinician in Mexico.

We covered questions such as: What is mental health equity? How do different factors contribute to mental health disparities? How does culture contribute to mental health challenges in low/middle-incomecountries? Can neurotechnologies mend the gap to ensure mental health equity in low/middle-income countries? That covers just the top of the iceberg of what we discussed on this episode. Curious for more? Tune in NOW!
