Alcohol consumption is a major contributor to preventable illness, injury, and mortality worldwide. While long-term regulatory approaches such as taxation and availability controls are widely studied, governments also frequently introduce short-term alcohol policies in response to acute events, including public health emergencies, elections, and large-scale gatherings. These temporary measures are often implemented rapidly, with varying objectives and limited evaluation of their outcomes. Questions remain about their effectiveness, unintended consequences, and how lessons can be shared across jurisdictions. In this episode, we explore how short-term alcohol policies are used globally and what is needed to assess their impact more systematically.Read the Open Access journal article: https://doi.org/10.1192/bji.2025.16 More digital content from BJPsych International: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-international/videos-and-podcasts Follow us on Twitter @TheBJPsych #BJPInternationalDisclaimer: BJPsych International is not responsible for statements made by podcast contributors.

Suicide remains an under-prioritised public health issue in Bangladesh, shaped by stigma, criminalisation, and gaps in mental health care. While recent laws and policies signal progress, the absence of a national suicide prevention programme and a reliable suicide database continues to hinder effective action. In this episode, we explore the current state of suicide prevention in Bangladesh, examine policy initiatives and challenges, and discuss why a coordinated, public health–focused approach is urgently needed to save lives.

Many treatments in psychiatry have proven efficacy and known side effects. However, clear, understandable and scientific explanations of their actions are thin on the ground. Exploration of drug actions at the fundamental level of the receptor can provide valuable insights for the treating physician.

And why are expatriates more likely to be diagnosed with stress-related conditions compared to UAE nationals, while Emiratis are more likely to be diagnosed with substance use disorders than expatriates?

7 September 2016 BJPsych Advances Podcast
In conversation with Dr Howard Ryland, Professor Patricia Casey, Editor of BJPsych Advances, gives an overview of the importance of the peer review system and provides comprehensive guidance and advice on the process.
Article summary: Peer review in scientific journals has existed for over 200 years. This process is currently the accepted way of assessing scientific manuscripts prior to publication for most journals. Despite this, little has been written about the process of peer reviewing, with hardly anything specific to psychiatric journals. This article answers fundamental questions related to peer reviewing and includes practical tips to writing reviews. It will be helpful for those keen on improving their knowledge about the peer-review process. It will not only benefit those who are reviewers or thinking about becoming reviewers, but also authors, who can use the information to improve their chances of publication.

Dr Andy Thompson in conversation with Dr Howard Ryland about his BJPsych Advances paper published in the May 2016 issue of BJPsych Advances.
Article summary: The concept of an ‘at-risk mental state’ for psychosis arose from previous work attempting to identify a putative psychosis prodrome. In this article the authors summarise the current criteria used to identify ‘at-risk’ individuals, such as the ultra-high-risk (UHR) criteria, and the further identification of important clinical risk factors or biomarkers to improve prediction of who might develop a psychotic disorder. They also discuss important ethical issues in classifying and treating at-risk individuals, current treatment trials in this area and what treatment current services can offer.

14 March 2016 BJPsych Advances Podcast
Dr Howard Ryland discusses the topic with Dr Annie Swanepoel who, together with her co-authors, Daniela F. Sieff, Graham Music, John Launer, Michael Reiss and Bernadette Wren, has published a paper in January 2016's issue of BJPsych Advances.
The traditional disease model, still dominant in psychiatry, is less than ideal for making sense of psychological issues such as the effects of early childhood experiences on development.
We argue that a model based on evolutionary thinking can deepen understanding and aid clinical practice by showing how behaviours, bodily responses and psychological beliefs tend to develop for ‘adaptive’ reasons, even when these ways of being might on first appearance seem pathological.
Such understanding has implications for treatment. It also challenges the genetic determinist model, by showing that developmental pathways have evolved to be responsive to the physical and social environment in which the individual matures.
Thought can now be given to how biological or psychological treatments – and changing a child’s environment – can foster well-being.
Evolutionary thinking has major implications for how we think about psychopathology and for targeting the optimum sites, levels and timings for interventions.
In this inaugural Advances podcast, Dr Howard Ryland discusses the topic with Dr Annie Swanepoel.
