Psychedelics in the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders
Talk Description:
This talk will review the behavioral pharmacology and treatment of substance use disorders with psilocybin and other classic psychedelics (5HT2A agonists). Early research from the 1950s to 1970s investigated classic psychedelics, primarily LSD, in the treatment of alcoholism and cancer-related distress. Over the last 20 years research has once again investigated psychedelics in the treatment of psychiatric disorders including substance use disorders, cancer-related distress, and depression. This talk will provide a current description of this work as well as a vision for the future.

Learning Objectives:

Identify two “classic psychedelic” compounds
Identify two forms of substance use disorder that are currently being investigated with regard to psychedelic therapy.
Identify two risks of administering a psychedelic and that can be mitigated with appropriate safety guidelines

About the Speaker:
Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D., is The Susan Hill Ward Endowed Professor of Psychedelics and Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins. Working with psychedelics since 2004, he is one of the world’s most widely published experts on psychedelics.

Racial Trauma and Racial Health Disparities among Black American Populations: Examining Pathways to Healing, Collective Action, & Liberation

Talk Description:
The United States holds a historical legacy of oppression as well as a current sociopolitical climate of unrest due to the systemic perpetuation of injustice. Although there is a growing body of research literature on traditional conceptualizations of trauma in marginalized populations, there remains limited research that focuses on the confluence of racism and trauma in the lived experiences of these populations.
Research has demonstrated that racial discrimination is a significant and impactful contributing factor in accounting for racial disparities in mental and physical health across the life course. Within the racial discrimination literature, researchers have theorized about the extent to which experiences of racial discrimination can be viewed within the conceptualization of trauma as well as influence trauma symptoms (Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2005; Carter, 2007). Researchers further recognize the traumatic nature of experiences of racial discrimination and have demonstrated that these experiences can be associated with posttraumatic stress symptom reactions (Sibrava et al., 2019).
This talk will provide an overview of how Dr. Carter’s research has demonstrated the ways that racial discrimination impacts the health and well-being of Black Americans, a marginalized population that disproportionately experiences racial health disparities influenced by racism- related stress. This talk will also further elucidate the importance of examining racial discrimination in the conceptualization of trauma experiences and treatments.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will be able to describe the importance of historical consciousness in understanding racism-related experiences (e.g., interpersonal, systemic/structural, & vicarious) and historical unjust legacies than can exacerbate current health disparities for Black Americans.
Participants will be able to explain the unique challenges and clinical issues present in experiences of race-based stress and trauma among Black Americans.
Participants will be able to identify potential avenues that can promote health equity and address the influence of racial discrimination on systems of engagement (e.g., the justice system & hospitals/healthcare).

About the Speaker:
Dr. Carter’s research focuses on racial health disparities and investigates how psychosocial and contextual stressors can affect both mental and physical health outcomes for underrepresented populations. She has had a long-standing interest in the ways that health disparities in African American populations arise and are maintained by psychological, physiological, and contextual processes. A common theme throughout much of her work has been examining how, across a life course, racial discrimination as an acute and chronic stressor can effect development and further exacerbate chronic illnesses and stress-related disorders.
Dr. Carter integrates clinical, physiological, and biobehavioral measurements in her research to aid in improved identification of mechanisms that can be targeted in prevention and/or treatment efforts to reduce racial health disparities. Her research program also examines how racial and cultural characteristics (e.g., racial identity, Africentric worldview, racial composition of communities, and place-based factors) influence health. This work utilizes a risk and resilience framework to further illuminate what may buffer the psychological and physical health impacts of racial discrimination. Her research in the area of risk and resilience aims to enhance our ability to tackle troubling health disparities in underserved and underrepresented communities.

Navigating Social Injustices as Women of Color in Academic Medicine
Talk Description:
The world and culture of academic medicine has changed significantly in the past few decades. Greater percentages of women enter, and graduate medical schools compared to men, and more women are completing residency training than ever before. Yet in the post-training world women have far less representation in the higher echelons of academic leadership such as Vice Chairs, Department Chairs, and Chief Medical Officers.
This presentation will illuminate key elements women physicians navigate as they enter and accelerate through academia. Dr. Vanessa Spearman-McCarthy will discuss the emotional impact that social and racial injustices may have on practicing physicians. Dr. Heather Huang will explore the role implicit bias plays in the formation of inequalities, as well as examine how certain racial stereotypes (of Asian Americans) might develop from those implicit biases. The end of the presentation will begin the conversation of how academic institutions can foster an environment of Equity and Inclusion for women physicians.

Learning Objectives:

Describe how social injustices and racial trauma may impact a woman physician’s career in academia.
Explore how implicit bias may impact a woman physician’s career in academia.
Begin the conversation of “how do we move forward” in promoting Equity and Inclusion for a woman physician in academia

“Obese and Addicted to Food: Is the Brain or the Gut Microbiome to Blame?”

Friday April 28
WisPIC Commons Room
6001 Research Park Blvd in Madison, WI
+ Virtual Event – via WebEx

Learning Objectives:

Investigate how novel pathways related to the brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) system may explain modulation of signals from the gut-microbiome on the brain via systemic immune activation.
Explain how risk factors associated with socio-cultural and environmental stressors “get under the skin” and are embedded in biology
Identify subgroup differences (e.g., race and sex) related to obesity and eating behaviors
Model longitudinal patterns and changes across the lifespan as they relate to obesity in order to help predict risk factors leading up to the development of obesity while being able to identify prognostic markers.
Determine changes associated with various interventions (e.g., brain-targeted such as cognitive behavioral therapy, or gut-based such as specific diets) directed at altered ingestive behaviors and obesity.

Reading List:

Brain scans show how different factors can influence obesity in men and women
How can we use probiotics to treat various conditions via the brain-gut system?

About the Speaker:
I am an Associate Professor, and Co-Director of the Goodman-Luskin Microbiome Center (GLMC) at UCLA. I am also the Director of the Obesity and Ingestive Behavior Research Program and Director of Neuroimaging Core within the GLMC; where I specialize in research that investigates the interactions between environmental and biological factors in shaping phenotypes associated with obesity. My current program of research, broadly defined, is based on developing a model that aims to understand the bidirectional interaction of the brain with those in the periphery (immune cells, gut microbiota-related metabolites), and the modification of these interactions by vulnerability factors (e.g., discrimination, adverse life events, sex, race, socioeconomic status) in obesity. Another main area of interest is the investigation of race and sex differences in central responses to stress, as well as the relationship between altered ingestive behaviors, obesity, anxiety and depression.

“Beating the Stigma of Mental Illness” - Patrick Corrigan, PsyD | UW Psychiatry Grand Rounds
2023-06-16 12:00 - 13:00 | WisPIC, 6001 Research Park Blvd, Madison, WI, 53719

Patrick Corrigan, PsyD | UW Psychiatry Grand Rounds

“Beating the Stigma of Mental Illness”

The stigma of mental illness significantly worsens the course of serious disorders. This presentation will review different types of stigma – public stigma, self-stigma, label avoidance – and specific harmful results. We will then review effective ways to challenge them which, by the way, largely do NOT reside in education, but more in contact with people in recovery.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define the three types of stigma related to substance use disorder (SUD).
2. Describe the three sets of harmful effects wrought by stigma.
3. Put together a program that will diminish the harmful effects of SUD stigma.

Reading List:

Formal peer-support services that address priorities of people with psychiatric disabilities: A systematic review
The impact of contact and fame on changing the public stigma of mental illness
The impact of mental illness stigma on seeking and participating in mental health care

About the Speaker:
Patrick Corrigan is Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the Illinois Institute of Tech-nology. Prior to that, Corrigan was Professor of Psychiatry and Executive Director of the University of Chicago Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation. Corrigan has worked most of his 30-year career in providing and evaluating services for people with psychiatric disabil-ities with special focus on the impact of health equity. Realizing that the benefits of psy-chiatric services are limited by stigma, he has spent the past two decades broadening his research to the prejudice and discrimination of mental illness. His work has been support-ed by NIH and PCORI for most of that time to, among other things, develop and lead the National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment (www.NCSE1.org). This led to devel-opment of the Honest, Open, Proud program to erase the stigma of mental illness (www. honestopenproudprogram.org). Corrigan also extended his research to mental health AND social determinants (e.g., ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, and age) and corresponding social disadvantage related to poverty, criminal justice involve-ment, and immigration concerns resulting in the Chicago Health Disparities Center (www. chicagoheatlhdispariteis.org) . Corrigan has authored more than 450 journal articles and 20 books. He is also editor of Stigma and Health, an APA journal.

James W. Jefferson Memorial Lecture

James Walter Jefferson, MD (1937-2019)
Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychiatry
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
Dr. Jefferson epitomized the values and virtues of an outstanding physician, teacher and academic. The UW Department of Psychiatry is honored to offer an annual lecture in his memory.
Jeff, as he was affectionately known, taught generations of psychiatrists and other health care professionals to provide high quality, evidence-based mental health care. He became an international expert in the use of lithium, the gold-standard treatment of bipolar disorder. He co-founded and co-ran a
biannual regional continuing medical education conference for nearly forty years – a tradition which the Department of Psychiatry continues as the University of Wisconsin Annual Update & Advances in Psychiatry Conference.
Jeff received his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin and completed an internship at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City, residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Wisconsin, and fellowship in Cardiology at the University of Chicago. After serving as a research cardiologist in the U.S. Army, he returned to Madison for Psychiatry residency training. His remarkable career spanned more than five decades and included opening the
Lithium Clinic at UW in 1973 and founding the Lithium Information Center, which ultimately collected over 40,000 articles for patients and professionals. He served as President of Healthcare Technology Systems and was a Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Madison Institute of Medicine. Jeff was a prolific author, highly respected lecturer nationally and internationally, and the recipient of numerous accolades.
Each year, the Department of Psychiatry invites one distinguished speaker who embodies Jeff’s spirit – being a consummate clinician, academic and colleague while advancing the evidence-based care of people suffering from mental illness – to give the James W. Jefferson Memorial Lecture during the Annual Update & Advances in Psychiatry Conference.
We are delighted that Dr. Shelly Greenfield, Chief Academic Officer and Kristine M. Trustey Endowed Chair in Psychiatry at Harvard – Mass General Brigham McClean, will deliver the 2023 memorial lecture.

UW Psychiatry Grand Rounds | David Mintz, MD
Talk Title: “The Science of the Art of Pharmacotherapy”
Description:
In this era of evidence-based psychiatric practice, it is important to recognize that there are evidence bases, too often overlooked, that provide guidance not about what to prescribe to optimize pharmacotherapy outcomes, but, rather, about how to prescribe. Indeed, for some of the most common conditions, the evidence suggests that psychosocial factors exert a larger influence on treatment outcome than do the actual medications. Mastery of these psychosocial factors in prescribing constitutes an important part of the art of psychopharmacology. In this presentation, some of that evidence base will be explored, addressing the science of the art of psychopharmacology. The importance of the doctor-patient relationship will be highlighted, as well as the importance of a patient-centered evaluation that considers who the patient is, and not just what the patient is in diagnostic terms. The presenter will explore how a deeper understanding of the patient may help guide prescribing decisions in ways that facilitate the patient’s healthy use of treatment.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, the participant should be able to:

Explain how psychosocial/interpersonal factors influence pharmacotherapy outcomes
Develop more patient-centered alliances supporting patient’s abilities to make healthy use of medications
Increase biopsychosocial integration across the treatment team.

David Mintz, M.D. is the Director of Psychiatric Education, Associate Director of Training, and Team Leader at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, a psychodynamic tertiary care center, specializing in the treatment of patients who are complex, co-morbid, and treatment refractory. To address the treatment needs of these patients, Dr. Mintz and colleagues developed a psychodynamically-informed, patient-centred model for addressing psychological and interpersonal interferences with the patient’s healthy use of pharmacotherapy. His book Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology: Caring for the Treatment-Resistant Patient, and dozens of other publications, explore these principles. Among other things, Dr. Mintz is also the recent past Leader of the Psychotherapy Caucus of the American Psychiatric Association.

UW Psychiatry Grand Rounds | Chiara Cirelli, MD, PhD | “The Burden of Wake and the Reasons for Sleep”

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the talk, the audience will be able to:

Identify the reason why sleep is especially beneficial for the brain and, vice versa, why sleep loss impairs cognition.
Describe the mechanism by which the use of the brain during the day leads to the need to sleep at night.

Reading List:

“The Sleeping Brain” (Cerebrum)
“Perchance to Prune” (Neuroscience)

About the Speaker:

Chiara Cirelli received her medical degree and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Pisa, Italy, where she began her investigation of the molecular correlates of sleep and wakefulness and the role of the noradrenergic system in sleep regulation. She continued this work at the Neuroscience Institute in San Diego, California as a fellow in experimental neuroscience, and subsequently at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she has been a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry since 2001.
Dr. Cirelli’s research is aimed at investigating the fundamental mechanisms of sleep regulation by using a combination of molecular and genetic approaches. By performing whole-genome expression profiling studies in different species her laboratory has characterized hundreds of genes whose expression changes in neurons and glial cells in sleep relative to wakefulness. This analysis has identified specific cellular processes that are favored by sleep and impaired by sleep deprivation. In a second, complementary approach Dr. Cirelli’s laboratory has been performing a large-scale mutagenesis screening for sleep phenotypes in Drosophila. Several mutant fly lines that have much reduced sleep or are resistant to sleep deprivation have been found. The characterization of the genes mutated in these lines has identified key cellular pathways involved in the regulatory mechanisms of sleep and its functional consequences. Overall, these molecular and genetic studies have shown that sleep need is strongly related to experience-dependent plasticity during wake.
Together with her long-term collaborator, Dr. Giulio Tononi, Dr. Cirelli has developed a comprehensive hypothesis about the function of sleep, the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, according to which sleep serves to renormalize synaptic strength, counterbalancing a net increase of synaptic strength due to plasticity during wakefulness. Without sleep, such progressive increase in synaptic strength would lead to unsustainable costs in terms of energy, space and cellular supplies, would reduce the informativeness of neuronal signals, and would prevent further learning by bringing stronger synapses closer to their level of saturation. In short, according to this hypothesis sleep is the price to pay for brain plasticity during wakefulness.
The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis is being tested at different levels, using electrophysiological and behavioral experiments in humans, in vitro studies in cortical slices, electron microscopy experiments in flies and mice, and fMRI and DTI experiments in humans. Overall, these experiments confirm that wake is associated with net synaptic potentiation, whereas sleep favors global synaptic renormalization, thereby helping to preserve an overall balance of synaptic strength. Current experiments in transgenic flies and mice use confocal and repeated in vivo two-photon microscopy and block-face scanning electron microscopy to confirm that an essential function of sleep is to promote a homeostatic reduction in synaptic strength. Other experiments are also testing whether lack of sleep, especially during adolescence, may have long-term consequences for the functional and anatomical connectivity of the brain.
