Palliative care for mental illness: A podcast with Dani Chammas and Brent Kious
GeriPal Podcast; by Eric Widera, Alex Smith, Dani Chammas, Brent Kious; 12/19/24
We’ve talked a lot before about integrating psychiatry into palliative care. Still, we haven’t talked about integrating palliative care into psychiatry or in the care of those with severe mental illness. On this week’s podcast, we talk with two experts about palliative psychiatry. We invited Dani Chammas, a palliative care physician and psychiatrist at UCSF (and a frequent guest to the GeriPal podcast), as well as Brent Kious, a psychiatrist at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute, focusing on the management of severe persistent mental illnesses.
