Some of the most difficult-to-treat mental health conditions, including treatment-resistant depression (TRD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and eating disorders, have very few treatment options. However, steps are being taken to a bring about a paradigm shift that could help to change the future of mental health for the millions of people who urgently need new options. Our CEO, Kabir Nath, explores this need for new treatments in the mental health space in the Spring edition of Pharmafile. Read more below.

Every 40 seconds, someone dies from suicide; tens of millions more live with mental health conditions for which there is no good standard of care. Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is one of these conditions. A lesser-known subset of major depressive disorder, TRD is believed to affect more than 100 million people around the world*. People living with TRD have tried at least two different treatments within a depressive episode without success, with the chance of response decreasing with every subsequent treatment. More needs to be done to change this. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we hear real stories from people living with TRD. *Reference: McIntyre RS, et al. Treatment-resistant depression: definition, prevalence, detection, management, and investigational interventions. World Psychiatry. 2023 Oct;22(3):394-412.

Joanna Kuc joined Compass as an intern almost five years ago. She’s now a Data Scientist and is also completing a PhD in Experimental Psychology at UCL. Congratulations on your PhD poster presentation at the ASCC Conference in Tokyo last week, Joanna!
It was a really great experience to present a poster from my PhD work at ASSC27 in Tokyo. The topic was “Increased Self-Related Cognitive Vocabulary After a Single Dose of 5-MeO-DMT” and I’m very happy for a chance to discuss it from the interdisciplinary perspective that lies at the heart of ASSC.

The biggest misconception about PTSD is that it has to do with humans not being able to recover from trauma. Humans have an endless capacity to recover from trauma, and the event itself does not cause PTSD. What causes PTSD is the reaction of 'loved ones' who, instead of providing compassion, are somewhat 'happy' that there is someone more broken than they are, which initiates the victimization pattern. PTSD is essentially a social problem, not a human problem, and if treated as such, it can lead to much quicker and more effective results. However, this would require reinventing social structures, as people are often trapped under the authority of their parents or individuals in positions of authority.
