Curious what PsyA folks think about IFS's model of personality compared w/ certain theories in PsyA; e.g., Sullivan's "self-system" or Bromberg's multiple self-states. Seems to be a lot of similarities but I don't know enough about IFS to understand exactly how they're different?

It was a pleasure to join colleagues @PsychSocIreland #PSIConf25 to think together about FND & the role of Psychology. Wonderful to meet such an inspiring and experienced group of neuropsych folks @sarahjane_casey @damopamine @ValTwomey @mcdermgl et al @DONPSI 1/7
Psychological Society of Ireland@PsychSocIreland

A fantastic first #PSIConf25 keynote from @LeoISTDP, exploring Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and the inseparable connection between mind and body, and showing how psychologically informed, multidisciplinary care can promote recovery. An inspiring session highlighting innovation, compassion and integration in neuropsychological practice. Dr Russell pictured with PSI President Dr Damien Lowry and members of @DONPSI.

@donwinslow Sounds like a partial solution would be fair distribution of the wealth so that there are not so many “ poor people” and social supports, mental healthcare, etc. so that these individuals have better self-esteem and empathy for themselves and others.

@psycheureka Consider psychotherapies, including intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, which has been shown to improve cognitive function in major depression without the chemical side effects and withdrawal effects. Similar treatment cost as well.

Cognitive symptoms in major depressive disorder (MDD) often persist even after mood improves, affecting memory, processing speed, and executive function. Vortioxetine has been investigated for its potential pro-cognitive effects, independent of its antidepressant properties (McIntyre et al., 2016). Here’s a review of the mechanisms and clinical findings. 🧵👇
