Quick Takes: A podcast by physicians, for physicians

An innovation in perinatal mental healthcare with Daisy Singla


Listen Later

“It’s one of the largest psychotherapy trials in the world.”

When we hear “innovations in mental healthcare,” we tend to think about apps or wearables. In today’s episode of Quick Takes – part of our series on innovation – I speak with Daisy Singla, a senior scientist at CAMH and our first womenmind™ scientist. Singla talks about her recent study that expanded access to psychotherapy for perinatal women, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety by drawing a page from work done in low-income countries. The key concept: training up laypeople to deliver therapy.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How effective therapy delivered by non-specialists was for pregnant and postpartum participants
  • The surprising impact the study had on trauma symptoms
  • The role task-sharing and telemedicine played in the study
  • And how a model used in Goa can scale up to help improve maternal mental healthcare in North America
