This podcast interview explores the complex interplay between the brain, mind, and body, emphasizing that physical and mental health are inseparable. The guest and hosts critique the siloed nature of modern healthcare, which often separates neurology from psychiatry and fails to address how social factors influence biological outcomes. They highlight functional neurological disorder (FND) as a primary example of how beliefs and environmental stressors can manifest as real physical symptoms. To move forward, the speakers advocate for the biopsychosocial model, urging clinicians to adopt a more integrated, "team-oriented" approach to patient care. Ultimately, the discussion calls for a systemic shift in medical training and public understanding to fully integrate interventions on the brain, mind, and body.

Today we give you a role play where Dr. Daniel Mullin takes on the part of a neuropsychologist who is engaging in motivational interviewing with a patient who is considering a behavior change. The patient is played by Ryan and the behavior change is whether or not to use a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP device, as a treatment for sleep apnea. Following the role play is a debriefing where we highlight important aspects of the MI process. We spoke with Dan in our prior episode (#190) about the ins and outs of motivational interviewing, which you could listen to before or after this role play.
