Could your next therapy session come from your pocket? What happens when your "reward molecule" misfires? Come find out about mental health and modern therapies.

Dopamine: the magic molecule

Dr Asheeta Prasad (Lecturer, UNSW Sydney)
You may know that dopamine is a neuromodulator, important for learning, reward behaviours and movement. Come along to find out more about this cool molecule and discover what happens when dopamine dysfunctions.

Dr Asheeta Prasad is a Lecturer at University of New South Wales. She leads her research group on dopamine related disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Drug addiction.

Internet-delivered CBT: handheld help

Dr Ashna Basu (Mental Health Consultant, University of New South Wales)
Once upon a time the word 'therapy' may have evoked an image of a doctor scribbling in a notebook while someone on an expensive sofa talks about their feelings. In 2019, therapy is being made accessible, affordable & available on the app store.

Dr Basu is a junior doctor with multiple publications in mental health. Having finished her terms as President of the NSW Medical Students' Council and a Board Director at Arc, she now works as a mental health consultant for tertiary institutions.
