Structural racism is the main driver of mental health inequities and poor mental health outcomes, and yet, few understand the outsized role that structural racism plays in the identification, diagnosis, and management of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. This presentation will examine key concepts associated with structural racism, provide clear examples of how structural racism manifests in poor mental health outcomes, and discuss strategies for dismantling structural racism in our communities and institutions.

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a condition defined by frequent explosive outbursts occurring within the context of chronic, pervasive irritability, beginning in early childhood. This lecture reviews how the condition evolved and speculates that although it originated ostensibly as a response to the overdiagnosis of bipolar disorder in children, and the overdiagnosis of bipolar disorder occurred because of the absence of a good diagnostic home for explosive outbursts. Evidence suggests depression and anxiety are outcomes of DMDD however that does not account for the outcome of the outbursts. I will also discuss briefly the relationship of other mood and behavior disorders to DMDD, assessment and treatment.

Formulation is essential to every treatment. Without a formulation, we are unable to make a diagnosis, collaboratively create a treatment plan, or engage in treatment. Yet formulation is not always taught, and, when it is, this teaching is not always clear. In this talk, Deborah Cabaniss will discuss the work that she and colleagues in the Psychodynamic Formulation Collective have done to operationalize psychodynamic formulation and to place the effects of culture and society on par with other psychodynamic models of the mind. Clinically relevant to all patient settings, this talk will be of interest to trainees and seasoned clinicians alike.
