In this episode Dr. Farooq Naeem, a psychiatrist and Chief of General and Health System Psychiatry at the Center of Addiction and Mental Health and Dr. James MacKillop, a director at the Peter Boris Center for Addictions Research provide additional insight to the social determinants of health and how they have exacerbated health risks during the pandemic by looking at health systems and understanding brain health from a social lens.

COVID-19 has affected every institution and science is not exempt. Dozens of articles are published every day regarding COVID-19 but despite all of this data the public was still unaware of the neurological and long-term effects of the virus.
So, as graduate students from disciplines including psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience, we joined forces to analyse all the available research on the effects of COVID-19 on the brain and present it in an easy to understand way. By doing so, we aimed to cut through a lot of the speculation surrounding COVID-19’s neurological and psychiatric effects. Our aim for this podcast is to bridge the gap in science communication between SARS-CoV-2 research and the general public with each episode tackling a different aspect of COVID-19's effects on the brain. Our first season will have 4 episodes which will be released every month, so watch out for Episode 1, coming this September! |
