06.07.2022 Nirvana Principle Show - Dementia & Old Age Psychiatry

Dr.Hassan Mallick is a UK-based Pakistani psychiatrist, DJ and electronic musician. He is a recently inducted member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He uses creative experiences and philanthropic projects to merge his dual passions for improving society and finding a place in the world.

Our guest for this episode is Dr.Thomas McConnel MRCPsych. He is an award winning “higher trainee” old age psychiatrist based in Lancashire. Thomas has had a long journey to psychiatry via psychology, bio-medicine and surgery. Accolades he has gained along the way include the Tim Chard Case History prize in OBGYN , special commendation for The Andrea Litva prize for teaching not to mention 1st place at a research conference in Oxford. We discuss Thomas’s conviction that old age psychiatry is one of the best fields to work in ; and the approach professionals take for caring for people with dementia. Our focus will be on defining contemporary understanding of cognitive disorders, how to treat them and a word on the quiet torment that carers for dementia face. This is for the layman as well as health professionals working in the all-important field of Old Age Psychiatry.
