My next guest is Dr. Philip D. Harvey, he is a Professor of Psychiatry and director of the Division of Psychology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, as well as a senior Research health Scientist at the Department of Veterans Affairs. He was the Senior Author of "One of the top Fifteen most important papers of all time in clinical and applied neuropsychology"and ranked by Thomson-Reuters as one of the most Highly Cited Researchers within the top 1% in the field). He has received a number of awards, including the Inaugural Schizophrenia International Research Society Clinical Scientist Distinguished Contributions award and others. In this interview we begin by covering what schizophrenia is beyond it’s common associations with hallucinations and what delusions are. We further talk about the bicameral mind theory from Julian Jaynes and evolutionary viewpoints to schizophrenia. We dive deeper into hallucinations, health conditions and it’s genetic and Neuroanatomical basis. We also talk about the gut brain, inflammation in the immune system. Moreover we discussed schizophrenia in children and it’s consideration as a Nuro developmental disorder as well as its impact on IQ, the myth that violence is more prevalent in schizophrenia and how this condition may impact cognitive functioning from multiple perspectives. Finally we end by discussing the best treatments for schizophrenia, as well as novel treatments in the works. Feel free to skip around if there are particular topics of interest to you.
