The Biological Psychiatry Podcast

The Biological Psychiatry Podcast is the official podcast of the Biological Psychiatry family of journals. Hosted by Social Media Editor Elvisha Dhamala, each episode features in-depth conversations with researchers about their latest work on psychiatric disorders, brain science, and mental health. The Biological Psychiatry journals advance scientific research and education in fields investigating the nature, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of disorders of thought, emotion, and behavior. This podcast makes the research accessible to both scientists and non-scientists. From innovative findings in neuroimaging and genetics to clinical trials and translational research, we explore the discoveries, implications, and future directions shaping the field of biological psychiatry.
