Ein starkes Team gegen #Depression an der Uniklinik für #Psychiatrie und #Psychotherapie #Magdeburg: unsere neue Spezialambulanz für schwer zu behandelnde affektive Störungen ergänzt das Angebot der Spezialstation PSY03. Denn schwer behandelbar heißt nicht unbehandelbar…!

Schwer zu behandelnde #Depression ist ein Thema, das viele Menschen betrifft. Das erlebten unsere Geschäftsführende Oberärztin PD Dr Alexandra Neyazi und ich auch heute wieder, als wir beim Telefonforum Volksstimme/Mitteldeutsche Zeitung Fragen von Lesern beantworten durften. 1/X

"Rienzi” and “The Flying Dutchman” each had their world premieres in Dresden within just a few months of one another in 1842/43. Yet, unlike “The Flying Dutchman,” “Rienzi” was never staged at the #BayreuthFestival during its first 149 years. 1/2

#Magdeburg: nicht nur #Wissenschaft, sondern auch #Lebensqualität. Der #Zoo hat einen neuen, noch schüchternen Star: ein drei Tage altes Elefantenjunges. Magdeburg: not only #science, but also #qualityoflife. The zoo has a new star, still a bit shy: a three day old baby elephant.

"Are You Crazy…?” - Psychiatric illnesses are often perceived differently in society than other medical conditions. That is why I was especially pleased to have the opportunity, as part of the “Medical Sunday” event, to give a lecture together with Prof. Hans-Jochen Heinze 1/2

Zusammen mit Prof Emrah Düzel vom #DZNE durfte ich in der Mitteldeutschen Zeitung unser neues Zentrum für #Hirngesundheit an der #UMMD vorstellen. Auch im Bereich Brain Health brauchen wir eine Vorsorgekultur, wie sie etwa in der Krebsvorsorge bereits selbstverständlich ist.

How can acts of violence committed by people with mental illness be prevented? In the wake of the Leipzig shooting spree, I was interviewed by Der Tagesspiegel. Thanks to Farangis Ghafoor for the opportunity to present the perspective of #psychiatry on this important issue!

"In a healthy brain, forgetting is an active process that contributes to mental well-being…!” I had the opportunity to discuss this topic on the program “Quarks“ of the German PBS WDR. A link to the podcast (titled “Ketamine – Parking – Doping”) can be found below. www1.wdr.de/mediathek/au...

#Alcohol consumption is known to increase during the holiday season. Abstaining from alcohol during the so-called ‘Dry January’ is intended to help restore balance. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to give an #interview on this topic to #MDR. Many thanks to everyone involved!

#schizophrenia can go along with aggressive behaviors, but the underlying neurobiology remains to be comprehensively understood. Our new preprint reports the results of the yet largest #neuroimaging mega-analysis - w/ the ENIGMA consortium www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders are polygenic, but how do sets of risk genes interact to affect neuronal circuits and finally alter behavior? Our new approach dissects 16p11.2 deletion to identify sets of causally relevant risk genes w/ Ted Abel and Zeru Peterson t.co/uCjCS4Gq39

Goodbye, Iowa City… The last 6.5 years at the University of Iowa were an amazing time of learning and personal growth for me! I owe it to outstanding mentors like Ted Abel and my amazing lab with excellent young scientists like Chelsea Bacon and Zeru Peterson… 1/3
