Mom asked me to vet a supplement she wanted to buy online for cognitive support. Spoiler alert: its claims about specific ingredients were false. I pointed her to green tea, ginkgo biloba, turmeric, and l-carnosine. Those have substantial research backing for #cognition and #memory.

My son's departure for Navy boot camp was pushed back a couple weeks. In preparation, any time he says something I don't like I tell him to drop and give me 10. And he does!

How does the EO about shutting down communication and travel for health agencies impact your community? Check out this cool interactive map on NIH funding. Keep in mind, this is just the NIH. The CDC and FDA are also hamstrung.

This is your reminder to take a slow, deep breath. Hold it in for a moment. And exhale slowly. Whatever you’re feeling today, flooding your brain with oxygen tells your amygdala (emotion center in your brain) that you’re safe.

Thank you to all the Georgia Power linemen out there doing the Lord’s work! After 3 hours of power outage, power is back on, the heat is back on.

Help! I'm searching PubMed and I don't think I have the right search terms. I'm trying to find studies on adolescent suicidality, specifically what parental behaviors are protective in the setting of adolescent suicidal ideation. Open to ideas. #psychiatry #psychology

Make time to listen to this or read. There’s some wild insight into groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Yikes, y’all.

Happy December y’all. For those who are bundled up, enjoy a little taste of sunshine. Sint Maarten is beautiful this time of year!

Yesterday I had to explain how health insurance works to my high school son. He was astounded by how broken the system is. Sharing this context with him will blow his mind, as it should.

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress. No people of color were selected, either.

So many of my patients rely on telehealth because they live in rural areas with no local psychiatric provider. Sunsetting telehealth will complicate healthcare access for so many Americans.
