The group

We are a  group of clinicians that are passionate about closing the gap between mental and physicial health through research and education.

Comorbidity

Mental and physical health are deeply interlinked.

Physical illness can lead to mental health problems and vice-versa.

Talking

We talk weather, we talk headaches, we talk sport, we talk cramps. We ask patients about rashes and periods. Why don't we talk about mental health?!

Doctors

Mental health problems are common within the medical profession, including depression, anxiety, alcohol or drug addiction and burnout.

Spine

Basrah Spinal Study

Our prospective study at Basrah Medical College in Iraq started in summer 2020 and despite significant challenges due to the pandemic is now getting close to publication.
