Dr Amy Mednik - Improving connection. Humanising the remote approach.

Dr Amy Mednik is a psychiatrist working in her own private practice in New York. She grew up in New Jersey and went to college at MIT in Boston where she studied, and became fascinated by the brain and cognitive science. She attended medical school and fell into psychiatry halfway through her clinical rotation. She received her medical degree with Distinction in Research from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a Bachelor of Science in Brain & Cognitive Sciences from MIT.

As a psychiatrist she mainly focused on medication versus psychotherapy. This developed into psychopharmacology, giving medication and seeing what symptoms can be quieted down so people can become their best self.  She wanted more to offer her patients so she then got involved with TMS which uses magnets to create electrical fields to intervene on the brain. She now specilises in the overlap between the humanities and neuroscience, leads a lecture series for psychiatric residents in training, social workers, and psychology trainees, has been involved in both brain research and linguistic research and authored articles in Clinical Psychiatry News.

In 2020 Dr Diane Lennard invited her to work with her on a book about the remote experience - what is wrong with the remote experience, why it makes us feel exhausted, why we have trouble focusing and why do we feel what we feel socially. They spent a year writing and living it and completed it in 2022. In this podcast:

  • Amy explains how the latest brain science is network based

  • The use of psychopharmacology

  • How we can improve the remote experience.
