Delighted to be part of this interesting conversation. Identifying the dementia care gap helps in designing culturally considerate interventions that considers family dynamics and connections with their communities.

I can't write about the #WCP2023 without celebrating the president-elect. A man who supports ECPs (even if it had to be from his treadmill in 2020). I'm not only excited he won, but I'm confident that the future of WPA under his leadership is brighter. Congrats! Prof. Thomas G. Schulze 🎗INDEPENDENT Libertarian

The 23rd WPA World Congress of Psychiatry has come and gone, but the memories of an enriching congress lingers. It was an absolute delight and excellent platform to (re)connect with friends and colleagues I had never met in person, but it seemed like I had known them for ages.

Hot off the press!!!

Why is it easier for our governments to borrow recklessly - and, increasingly illegally - rather than enact reforms that make government work better?
