Listen on

Episode notes

What are the new subtypes of depression ieso’s Director of Clinical Science, Dr Ana Catarino has identified in her fascinating, data-driven research? And how will these insights personalise treatment pathways and increase patient recovery rates? 

Join us as we talk to Dr Catarino, Dr Mel Simmonds-Buckley (of Sheffield University’s Clinical Psychology Unit) and Dr Jennifer Gentile (ieso’s SVP of US Research and Clinical Innovation), about ieso and the Sheffield University’s seminal research into subtypes of depression and their varying responses to treatment.

• Why are these new categories more robust than earlier attempts to categorise depression?
• How has Dr Mel Simmonds-Buckley’s research on face-to-face (as opposed to text-enabled) patients helped corroborate and further sub-divide Dr Catarino’s game-changing insights?
• Why do our guests think this research will help recovery rates finally move above the 50% mark they have remained at for decades?
