Covid-19
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the novel coronavirus responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), affects the brain. Neurologic and neuropsychiatric symptoms may manifest in the acute and post-acute phases of illness. The vulnerability of the brain with aging further increases the burden of disease in the elderly, who are at the highest risk of complications and death from COVID-19. The mechanisms underlying the effects of COVID-19 on the brain are not fully known. Emerging evidence vis- à-vis pathogenesis and etiologies of COVID-19 brain effects is promising and may pave the way for future resear...

The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Pandemic on Mental Health and Brain Function in the Elderly

Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health of the geriatric population are also explored, including those influenced by quarantine, media campaigns, discrimination, and difficulties in access to supportive services like long te...

The mechanisms underlying the effects of COVID-19 on the brain are not fully known. Emerging evidence related to the pathogenesis and etiologies of COVID-19 brain effects are promising and may pave the way for f...

The Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska
States all across the United States are experiencing a shortage in their behavioral health workforces. Although many studies have suggested factors that contribute to or mitigate the shortage —particularly in rural and underserved areas—no nationwide guidance exists on best practices to develop a behavioral health workforce that can meet community need. The Behavioral Health Education of Nebraska (BHECN) can serve as an exemplar for others looking to take a multifaceted approach to d evelop the behavioral health workforce in their community. Evidence from published studies is reviewed, and BHECN’s approach and practi...

The Role of the National Institute of Mental Health in Promoting Diversity in the Psychiatric Research Workforce
The mission of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. This mission can only be realized if full participation in the research enterprise is open to all. Nevertheless, systemic racism and other barriers remain significant obstacles to achieving a diverse workforce. To address these barriers, NIMH must ensure a just and equitable funding process, support diversity-focused training opportunities, and encourage research into mental health disparities and other areas...

Gender Diversity in the Psychiatric Workforce
Academic psychiatry has slightly higher rates of women in the upper ranks and leadership positions than academic medicine as a whole but women continue to be seriously underrepresented. Psychiatry departments should take specific steps to address barriers for women in psychiatry including harassment and discrimination, Imposter Syndrome, lack of mentorship and sponsorship, work-life integration issues, and overinvolvement in nonpromotion generating activities. Addressing these barriers within academic psychiatry will improve the environment for all minorities. (Source: The Psychiatric Clinics of North America)

Enhancing the Pipeline for a Diverse Workforce
The lack of diversity in the physician workforce is a multifactorial problem. From elementary school through college, students from minority or socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds achieve despite attending underresourced schools, facing low expectations from peers and teachers, and overcoming unconscious biases among decision makers. These and other obstacles lead to significant attrition of talent by the time cohorts prepare to apply to medical school. Pipeline initiatives that inspire and prepare applicants from groups underrepresented in medicine are needed to swell the ranks of diverse individuals entering our ...
