Episode 4
Thursday, 8 June, 2023

Welcome to this episode of Deep Medicine, with your Host Alexander Gray: the Chief Medical Officer of IDEA Pharma. Alex has been joined by Erika Kuzminskaitė, a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Psychiatry, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije University, Amsterdam Public Health and Amsterdam Neuroscience Research Institutes (https://research.vumc.nl/en/persons/erika-kuzminskaite). Erika has been heavily involved with the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA), an ongoing longitudinal cohort study examining the course and consequences of depressive and anxiety disorders in a cohort with a current or remitted depressive and/or anxiety disorder, and a healthy control group. Alex discussed the complex relationships between different types of childhood trauma and adult affective disorders, and what is known about the neurobiological impact of childhood trauma, and how this might explain the development of adult mental health disorders.You can find out more about Erika and her work here: https://research.vumc.nl/en/persons/erika-kuzminskaite1.
