In the first of a series of podcasts exploring the challenges members face, we discuss what needs to be done to support psychiatrists with carer responsibilities, and to support neurodivergent psychiatrists. We also discuss taking a break and the role of employers, and delve into leadership and why it might be something you should try. The College's Presidential Lead for Retention Dr Ananta Dave speaks to Dr Raka Maitra, Dr Shevonne Matheiken and Dr Derek Tracy.

Children's Mental Health: Listen Up - New Year Conference Special (Part 3)
Dr. Asilay Seker sits down with Professor Kapil Sayal from the University of Nottingham to discuss the STADIA trial (STAndardised DIagnostic Assessment for children and adolescents with emotional difficulties), which he led. This multicentre randomised controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of incorporating a standardised diagnostic assessment tool into routine clinical care within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Professor Sayal explains the study’s aims, the significance of its findings, and how STADIA offered valuable insights into rethinking CAMHS provision. He also discusses how a more digitalised approach could expand the service’s reach and enhance support for young people and families.
Asilay is later joined by Professor Andrea Danese. They discuss the complexities of trauma and PTSD, particularly in children and young people. He clarifies the definitions of trauma and PTSD, emphasizing the importance of subjective experiences in understanding mental health outcomes. The conversation also explores the impact of neurodiversity on trauma processing and highlights the need for flexible diagnostic approaches. Finally, Professor Danese underscores the importance of evidence-based treatments for PTSD and the urgent need to improve access to these interventions for affected youth.
