“Every area of medicine needs a layer of mental health care support.” Damon Tweedy highlights the importance of an integrated care model and how it can save lives. #AfPASummit24

Thank you to Damon Tweedy for joining us for a guest lecture and book signing today! We had a great time learning from you about the importance of centering mental health in medicine!

Earlier this month, I was a guest on the Holderness Family Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion about ADHD, psychiatry, race, and my own ADHD tendencies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bei…

Thanks to OhioStateDHLRI and The Ohio State University College of Medicine for hosting me on Friday. I had a great series of conversations with faculty and staff. But I always enjoy talking with students the most, as they keep this 50-yr-old feeling a bit younger and a bit better about the future.

While circumstances varied some with each election, I don't think it's any coincidence that Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden but won against Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

Consider this fact: the 15th amendment granted the right to former enslaved Black men to vote in 1870 but the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote didn't happen until 50 years later in 1920.

That means that those in power were willing to grant voting rights to former slaves for a half-century before they granted the same voting rights to their wives, sisters, and daughters. That's remains an astounding historical fact.

Had a great visit yesterday at Yale School of Medicine giving a lecture to Yale Med Humanities about my most recent book "Facing the Unseen". Met several medical students and young doctors who told me my writings encouraged them to enter medicine. So honored.

While I was in town, walked over to Yale Law School where I graduated in 2003. It's amazing to think how this school produces such influential people on opposite sides of politics (Bill Clinton and JD Vance), and the law (Sonia Sotomayor and Samuel Alito).

Great to have UMBC MBB Alum Damon Tweedy on campus today!

Earlier this week, WUNC re-aired my May 2024 interview on its show "Due South". We talked about what led me to write both of my books, and a lot more. Initial plan was for short interview, but we enjoyed ourselves too much for that! wunc.org/show/due-south…

Wishing everyone a great holiday season and a good start to 2025. Thanks for your support.

Most agree mental health issues aren't addressed as well as physical health issues. How did we get here? And how can we do better? Thanks to AAMC for publishing my essay tackling these questions by looking at how doctors are trained and practice. aamc.org/news/mental-he…

Thanks to Cone Health for hosting me last week to discuss my most recent book as part of their author series. Great audience of nurses, health administrators, and physicians across a variety of specialties.

Thanks to Boston Children's for hosting me this past week for a series of discussions focused on improving how we provide mental health care to those in need. May is identified as Mental Health Awareness Month, but this is certainly a topic that needs our attention year-round.
