Do you give a single, solitary fuck about yourself?

Or at least do you like to avoid pain, misery, fatigue, confusion, depression, anxiety?

You might want to avoid COVID-19, as we've known for a year that COVID is Neuroinvasive:

Neuroinvasive: "ability to enter the PNS or CNS":

  • Hematologically
  • Axonal transport (anterograde or retrograde)
  • Increased BBB penetrance due to widespread inflammatory activity & endothelial dysfunction

No really, do you care yet?

Or at least do you like to avoid pain, misery, fatigue, confusion, depression, anxiety?

You might want to avoid COVID-19, as we've known for a year that COVID is Neurotropic: able to infect and replicate in cells of the nervous system.

*Olfactory mucosal cells
*Bowman's Glands

  • OSNs replication seen in anosmia.
    *Multiple glial cell types
  • ACE2 receptor uptake
    *NRP-1 receptor binding activity.

How about now?

Don't want to suffer? Be maimed? Debased?

You might want to avoid COVID-19, as we've known for a year that COVID is Neurovirulent: highly problematic and pathological to the central nervous system.

*Direct Invasion

  • Dysregulated systemic inflammatory responses
  • Hypoxemic responses due to endothelial dysfunction and coagulopathy
  • Autoimmune / molecular mimicry responses

Onto Air Quality, Air Pollutants, and Neuropsychiatric Disorders.

Presenter says this is a superficial look at this because it's such a robust topic.

Presenter points out CO2, CO, O3 (Ozone), Lead, and Insidiously, Particulate Matter PM 2.5, etc as important components of anthropogenic change, especially PM2.5.

PM 2.5: residual matter from combustion 2.5 microns or smaller.

PM2.5 pipelines easily across the Blood Brain Barrier and through the alveoli of Lungs.

Air Pollution is the SINGLE GREATEST CAUSE of lost QALY (quality-adjusted life-years).

[OpEd] Put that way, I am less surprised that COVID is blown off by Capitalists.Though I'd bet that is higher than even air pollution anymore.

Best part about lockdowns: showed significant benefit.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2006853117

5.5 Billion people live in areas that lose 2.9 years average life expectancy per person due to pollution.

Multiple meta-analyses associate air pollution and neuropsychiatric disorders. Dementia, Depression, Suicidality, Stroke, Parkinson's especially. Autism as well, presenter states.

Emphasizes Alzheimer's as having the strongest odds ratio to PM2.5 pollutants.

1/8/2023: Climate Psychiatry 101

APA Talk in May, 2022.

Lead Presenters of Material: Peter Chien, John Sullenbarger, Emily Schutzenhofer MDs.

Source Material will be linked to. I'll summarize, discuss, denote [OpEd]s by me.

To make my life easier, the presenters did upload a PDF. So I don't have to commentate and annotate, copy+paste on a separate Google Docs, but instead just use the PDF itself.

Yay 2023.

APA Climate Committee is one year old. YOUNG. Psychiatry Climate Alliance is 6 years old. Also young.

[OpEd] We try to do the right thing it would seem but it takes us a while longer.

No Financial Disclosures in the Climate Psychiatry 101 lecture.

Sounds like the first one they've ever had tbh.

I don't know whether to be encouraged. They're starting with polling. I guess this gears you toward the audience, but if the audience denies climate change, damn, that's mitigating the usefulness of this lecture for me.

Results of the poll at the APA meeting:

92% agree global warming is happening
86% agree caused by humans
92% are worried about global warming
97% believe it's already affecting their patients
84% want to do something about it.

[OpEd] not at all surprised that the bottom number is the lowest. Nobody ever wants to do anything. See: Twitter stayers.

Ok, Mastodon…let’s try this out.

I’m still gonna stick around over on Twitter until the bitter end, but I want to try to get this new world figured out in the meantime!

Any tips…?
