Australian Society for Psychological Medicine (ASPM)

So grateful to the amazingness that is Peytn Stokes-Marshall, the Student Representative for ASPM. Had such a great talk about imposterism and its roots. Looking forward to the growth of our student resources and supports at ASPM.

The ASPM Board would like to join our colleagues in our disappointment in the Government’s ADHD Senate Enquiry response. It appears to be a wasted opportunity from the Government, who’s only committment seems to be that they will make it equally hard to access appropriate medication across all states. Clearly this 8% of the population continue to be of little care and concern to the Government. https://lnkd.in/gZatb_Vu

Huge thanks to Catherine Andronis, ASPM Member and RACPG SI Chair for Psychological Medicine, for her advocacy on the amazing expertise, work and challenges GP’s undertake in Mental Health. https://lnkd.in/g5MJVjNk
