KN2 Professor Sir Michael G. Marmot MBBS, MPH, PhD, FRCP, FFPHM, FMedSci, FBA Director of the Institute of Health Equity (UCL Department of Epidemiology & Public Health) - Social justice, health equity and COVID-19
Taking action to reduce health inequalities is a matter of social justice. In developing strategies for tackling health inequalities we need to confront the social gradient in health not just the difference between the worst off and everybody else. There is clear evidence when we look across countries that national policies make a difference and that much can be done in cities, towns and local areas. But policies and interventions must not be confined to the health care system; they need to address the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. The evidence shows that economic circumstances are important but are not the only drivers of health inequalities. Tackling the health gap will take action, based on sound evidence, across the whole of society. The pandemic has exposed and amplified underlying inequalities in society that lead to inequalities in health.

KN7 Professor Elisabeth Binder, Director, Dept. of Translational Research in Psychiatry Max-Planck Institute of Psychiatry - Molecular mechanisms of gene x early adversity interactions: implications for psychiatric disorders
Early adverse exposures, such as maternal stress during pregnancy and child abuse, are thought to result in long-lasting consequences on neural circuit function and stress hormone regulation and ultimately in an increased risk for psychiatric but also medical disorders later in life. The impact of these environmental risk factors is moderated by genetic variation. The biological mechanisms underlying this increased risk and these gene x environment interactions are still unclear. This lecture will focus on putative biological mechanisms that implicate the ability of the stress hormone cortisol, released in response to stress, to trigger a cascade of adaptive genomic and non-genomic processes through activation of it’s receptors and the moderation of these responses by genetic variation. These stress hormone receptors are intracellular and bind to the DNA where they act as transcription factors. In such, this system presents a unique set-up for gene x environment interaction.Overall, the presentation will outline how stress-exposure can have lasting effects on cell and tissue function and how this relates to risk or resilience to stress-related psychiatric disorders.

The past 10 years have seen rapid acceleration of our understanding of how genes and environment act and interact in influencing risk for eating disorders. The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) is currently rolling out across the globe. But how do we integrate this emerging scientific information into our understanding of how some people are more vulnerable to developing eating disorders than others? How can clinicians incorporate information about genetics into their case conceptualizations and clinical work? Where is this research leading us? This presentation will distill the current state of the science and address these critical questions.

KN16 Professor Prabha Chandra, Professor of Psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore - Speaking the Unspoken - Culture, Trauma and Perinatal Psychopathology
While much of the research points to postpartum psychiatric conditions being quite similar to other psychiatric conditions, except that they occur in the postpartum period, clinicians who study psychopathology among pregnant and postpartum mothers find that they can be quite unique. The experience of motherhood is influenced often by past trauma, ongoing partner relationships and cultural meanings of being pregnant or postpartum. The talk will discuss case studies from the Mother Baby unit in India and explore contemporary research in this area. The role of trauma in perinatal psychiatric disorders and how maternal trauma may contribute to attributions of psychopathological states to the fetus or the infant, to dissociative states and to suicidality will also be discussed. In South Asian cultures, trauma often relates to patriarchal norms and gender preference and influences help seeking. The talk will also discuss the use of a clinical interview used cross culturally- the Stafford Interview for Maternal Mental Health in order to precisely document psychopathology in different cultures.

KN17 Dr John Krystal, Robert L. McNeil, Jr. Professor of Translational Research and Professor of Psychiatry and of Neuroscience - Rapid-Acting Antidepressants: New treatments, new hope, and new insights into the brain
Until the discovery of the antidepressant effects of ketamine, all of the medications used to treat depression were variations of treatments discovered in the late 1950s. Although they help many people, these medications have many limitations that are well known to people who have struggled with depression. To get new types of antidepressants, we had to think differently about the brain and the biology of depression. This presentation will highlight the change in perspective that led us to discover the rapid and robust antidepressant effects of ketamine in depressed patients. I will then briefly describe what the field of depression research is learning about ketamine and esketamine (Spravato) that led to the FDA approval of Spravato in March, 2019. Lastly, I will show how the crosstalk between basic and clinical neuroscience has led to the hypothesis that ketamine and Spravato may work by helping the brain regrow synaptic connections between nerve cells that were lost due to the impact of stress and depression on the brain. These new connections appear to enable circuits regulating mood to function more effectively. Ultimately, this is a story about hope. It highlights that there are opportunities for fundamental discovery that cannot be anticipated and that can profoundly change the lives of people with depression and other illnesses.
