Psychiatry is about 20 years behind other fields of medicine. We're learning that the adverse childhood experiences- we call it the aces, those traumas in childhood actually underlie the social determinants of health.
Ever wondered what behavioral health really means? In this episode of 'Stigmatized', Dr. Carson Felkel, the System Medical Director of Behavioral Health for Bon Secours Mercy Health, sits down with host Trevor Steinhauser to demystify this complex topic. Dr. Felkel, who boasts an impressive educational background from Wake Forest University and Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, brings his extensive expertise in psychiatry to the table.
He dives into how genetic and environmental factors play a crucial role in mental health and how these factors influence social determinants of health. Dr. Felkel also highlights the importance of screening for depression and measuring treatment success, providing valuable insights into the often-overlooked challenges of insurance in mental health care.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the pressing issues of suicide prevention and treatment, offering practical advice and shedding light on mental health in children and adolescents, including impulse control and substance use. This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone keen on understanding behavioral health better, whether you're directly affected or simply curious. Tune in to gain a deeper appreciation of the complexities surrounding mental health and addiction.
