The field of psychology is wide ranging and touches on innumerable subjects in the public discourse. To add the perspectives of psychologists to topical issues, CPA has launched the podcast Mind Full. Listen below for subjects that are important to Canadians, delivered through a psychological lens.

Bipolar disorder and a new health information tool with Dr. Kelsey

Dr. Kelsey Collimore
Mood disorders are complex, which means that both the diagnosis and the treatment can be complex. Such is the case with bipolar disorder, a mood disorder characterized by manic highs and depressive lows. Getting accurate, evidence-based information about the condition is essential, which is what led The Royal mental health centre in Ottawa to create a virtual health information tool for people living with the condition. Dr. Kelsey Collimore, the psychologist who led this initiative, joins Mind Full to talk about it.


Jinn in the Family: Oral storytelling and cultural richness with Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman


Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman
Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman returns to the Mind Full podcast to talk about his new book – this time a work of fiction! Jinn in the Family tells the story of a family, originally from Zanzibar, and the Jinn that follows them throughout their lives as they move around the world – including to places like Winnipeg. The novel brings a psychological lens to the concepts of cultural resilience and family dynamics.
