In the last episode for Season 1, Georgia discusses with her Dad, Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). From war veterans, to policeman, and the layperson on the street, PTSD is both a mental, physical and emotional trauma, that if not dealt with early, and accordingly, can catch up with someone. The beauty of mental health awareness is, that along with other illnesses, it is a condition becoming more understood, and one where the signs can be caught onto, and dealt with, early. As this is the last episode for Season 1, a big thankyou to the hundreds of listeners who have been part of the Podcast The Psychiatrist's Waiting Room. To those who have listened, reached out, and shared with family, friends and coworkers, we hope you have walked away with a nugget of information, that perhaps better explains the condition of a friend, family member, coworker, even oneself. Here's to making the world a more understanding place.

PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

In lieu of the tragic events in the past week in Sydney, Australia, with the deaths of six people due to a stabbing attack by a man with unmedicated Schizophrenia, journalist Georgia Cassimatis discusses this mental disorder with her Dad, a Psychiatrist with 50 years experience: Schizophrenia having been a specialty in his practice. A serious mental disorder, this is one where people interpret reality abnormally, which can result in a combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking that if not treated properly can be detrimental, sadly to the individual and to the community. Dr Cassimatis explains exactly what Schizophrenia is, how as a society we can better understand it, treat it and work together a community to prevent the illness taking over. Please note, that while 1 in 500 people in Australia have Schizophrenia, fatal attacks are low.

Schizophrenia

This episode journalist Georgia Cassimatis interviews her Dad Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and the milder version termed Aspergers. Dr Cassimatis explains what the seemingly vast spectrum of Autism means, and how to differentiate between Autistic behaviour and it being a disorder. While Elon Musk for example, likes to announce that he has Autism, is he actually disordered by it? Does he really have it, or is he more socially phobic and introverted? We clear up the 'grey' around what Dr Cassimatis terms the 'social media diagnosis' about mental illness.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. 3% of Australians have this. Now a pop culture word for anyone that is overly 'neat', we clarify what it is exactly. What makes a detail oriented person with extraordinary hypervigilance morph into their behaviour becoming disordered and paralysing? Is there a cure? What makes the brain function as such? Why are athletes such as Rafael Nadal and Steve Smith using OCD like ritualistic behaviour on the field? Is this merely 'behaviour' in high stress situations, a perfectionist personality, supersitition or OCD? Is there a role for mental illnesses as such in society that we are not fully acknowleding? The tale of the 'Canary in the Coalmine' explains this. Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis clarifies all of this, as simply as possible, in a clinical sense rather than a pop culture sense.
