Neuroscientist and Advocate

Mental illness

Psychiatric Advocacy

 Apart from my research into psychiatric conditions, I also try to advocate for individuals with mental illness and against mental illness stigmatization. It is something I have written about publicly throughout the years in different outlets (you can see my other outreach writing here), and I created a school curriculum on mental illness awareness and stigmatization for BrainReach. Some of these articles are:

How science trainees can communicate science regarding mental illness and fight stigmatization

Combating mental health stigma in the media

Regarding harmful representations of mental illness in horror media

Messaging in mental illness awareness campaigns

Communicating to the public regarding mental illness

Neurobiological mechanisms of mental illness

Public outreach to reduce mental illness stigma
