S1, E2 Autism and Common Misconceptions with Professor Kurinchi Gurusamy

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Though more than 1 in 100 people are on the autism spectrum in the UK, it is often taboo to talk about. This is one of the reasons some people with autism feel it is hard to be themselves and mask their autistic traits to appear more neurotypical to society. Professor Kurinchi Gurusamy is the Head of Research in the Division of Surgery and Interventional Science at University College London. He also lives with autism. In this month’s episode, Shakira and Iman talk to Kurinichi about his personal experiences of living with autism and common misconceptions. Presented by Shakira Crawford & Iman Issa-Ismail.

S1, E1 Perinatal Mental Health with Dr Kate Adlington

Mental health illnesses that occur during pregnancy or in the first year following the birth of a child, affect 27% of new and expectant mothers in the UK.

Dr Kate Adlington is an Academic Clinical Fellow at Queen Mary University London and a Higher Trainee in General Adult Psychiatry in the East London NHS Foundation Trust. In this month’s episode, Shakira and Iman talk to Kate about perinatal mental health, the pressures of being a new mother (including feeling lonely and the social detriments of pregnancy), the healthcare inequalities faced by black and ethnic minority women, plus more.
