About this episode
In this episode of the Podcast, Dr. David Puder is joined by psychiatric geneticist Dr. Consuelo Walss-Bass and Dr. Julio Licinio for a powerful conversation on the early signs, genetics, and treatment of schizophrenia. Drawing from her lived experience growing up with a mother and sister who both have schizophrenia, Dr. Walss-Bass discusses prodromal symptoms, the 287 risk genes identified by the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, gene-environment interactions, challenges of early intervention, and why clozapine remains the gold standard for treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
