In this video, psychiatrist Dr Sanil Rege breaks down the neuroscience of dissociation — a crucial yet often misunderstood dimension of trauma and PTSD. While most clinicians associate PTSD with hyperarousal, Dr Rege explains the other half of the picture: dissociation — emotional numbing, detachment, and shutdown driven by the brain’s defensive circuitry. You’ll learn how to recognise dissociation in your patients, understand the underlying brain circuits and neurotransmitters, and apply evidence-based treatment strategies that prevent retraumatisation. Dr Rege is a consultant psychiatrist, educator, and founder of The Academy by Psych Scene, where he’s trained over 10,000 mental-health professionals globally. 🕒 CHAPTERS 0:00 – What Is Dissociation? 2:24 – Two Faces of Trauma: Hyperarousal vs Dissociation 3:28 – The Brain’s Defence Cascade and the Role of the PAG 4:13 – Neurotransmitters in Dissociation: Mu & Kappa Opioids, Endocannabinoids 5:03 – Clinical Pitfalls: When Therapy Reinforces Dissociation 5:38 – How to Recognise Dissociation in Practice 6:05 – Treatment Strategies: Matching Interventions to Brain State 7:01 – Role of Medication in Dissociation: Naltrexone, SSRIs, and Clonidine 8:02 – Phase-Oriented Trauma Therapy Explained 🔍 Key Insights for Clinicians & Learners 1. Dissociation ≠ Weakness — it’s the brain’s survival mechanism when escape feels impossible. 2. Hyperarousal and dissociation represent opposite ends of trauma circuitry: emotional under-modulation vs over-modulation. 3. Neural drivers: Prefrontal-limbic inhibition, periaqueductal grey (PAG) activation, and opioid-endocannabinoid systems. 4. Clinical red flag: Flat affect, detachment, or “blankness” during trauma exposure may indicate in-session shutdown. 5. Therapeutic principle: Match intervention to arousal state — down-regulate hyperarousal, up-regulate dissociation. 6. Avoid pitfalls: Relaxation or benzodiazepines can deepen dissociative shutdown. 7. Best practice: Phase-oriented therapy → (1) Safety & Stabilisation (2) Processing (3) Integration. #Trauma #Dissociation #PTSD #Neuroscience #PsychiatrySimplified #PsychScene #DrSanilRege #MentalHealthEducation #Neurobiology #Psychotherapy #BrainScience #CPTSD --- Related Content --- What Mental Health Disorder Did Amber Heard Have?

This video explains how Modafinil and Armodafinil really work in the brain, where they help clinically, where they don’t, and why they’re not the “limitless” smart drugs many people imagine. In this episode, Dr Sanil Rege (MBBS, MRCPsych, FRANZCP) – consultant psychiatrist and educator – breaks down the neuroscience, clinical uses, off-label hype and risks of Modafinil and Armodafinil. We’ll look at dopamine, norepinephrine, orexin, histamine and GABA systems, how these medicines stabilise arousal, and what that actually means for narcolepsy, shift work, obstructive sleep apnoea, depression, ADHD and so-called “cognitive enhancement." ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 – The “limitless pill” myth vs neuroscience 1:33 – Backstory: Adrafinil, Modafinil & military use 2:36 – Modafinil vs Armodafinil: racemic mix vs R-enantiomer 3:38 – How they work in the brain (dopamine, norepinephrine, Orexin, histamine & GABA: stabilising wakefulness) 5:02 – Approved uses: narcolepsy, shift work, OSA residual sleepiness 5:27 – Off-label use in depression & ADHD 6:36 – Smart drugs, cognitive enhancement & “performance debt” 7:35 – Side effects, rare risks & addiction potential 8:15 – Should healthy people use Modafinil?

Although Vancouver BC, Canada has always had a dark problem of homelessness and addiction, I am saddened to see that the issues are now far more wide spread and acute. I take to the streets of the notorious Downtown East Side, particularly East Hastings Street and document the dystopian scenes. Shockingly, I discover that the problems are now spread much further around the city into once prosperous areas. #vancouver #canada #crime #homeless
