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.
Basrah Spinal Study
Our prospective study at Basrah Medical College in Iraq started in summer 2020 is ongoing despite the challenges of the pandemic.
More info to follow here in due course.
