Your world with Dr. Beatrice Hyppolite

By: Beatrice Hyppolite
  • Summary

  • Hello,

    I am Dr. Marie Beatrice Hyppolite. I hold a doctorate in Health Science with emphasis on Global Health and master’s degree in social work. I have over 14 years of experience in the field of health and human services.

    This podcast is primarily focused on mental health and the quality-of-life elements that affect it such as divorce, death, domestic violence, trauma, toxic relationships, and single parenthood to name a few. It is no secret that mental health challenges continue to profoundly impact modern society although not enough discussion is given due to stigma. Research has shown an increase of 25 % in mental health crises after COVID-19. It is important to have honest, uncomfortable conversations about mental health while being supportive. Although we are interdependent, change begins with the individual, hence “your world.”

    I welcome you to join me on my journey and look forward to your responses.

  • Neurocognitive Disorders
    Nov 21 2024

    What happens when neurotransmitters like dopamine and acetylcholine go haywire in our brains? Join us alongside the distinguished Dr. Mario Gustav, a neuropsychiatrist with 24 years of expertise, as we untangle the mysteries of neurocognitive disorders. Our conversation unveils the brain's fundamental mechanics, exploring how neurons and electrolytes interplay to affect behavior and cognition. Through real-life examples such as psychosis and Parkinson's disease, Dr. Gustav illustrates the dramatic consequences of neurotransmitter imbalances on mental health.

    Navigating the landscape of neurocognitive disorders is no small feat, especially when differentiating between conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and vascular cognitive disorders. Dr. Gustav sheds light on the critical elements of accurate diagnosis, emphasizing the role of patient history and symptom progression. You'll gain insights into the distinct characteristics of Alzheimer's versus vascular disorders and learn about the unique behavioral symptoms of frontotemporal dementia. This exploration also touches on the substantial economic impacts of these conditions, offering a profound look into the challenges faced by individuals and healthcare systems alike.

    Treatment of neurological disorders demands a nuanced approach, requiring collaboration across various sectors. Dr. Gustav elaborates on the team effort needed, from pharmacological interventions to the indispensable support of family and social networks. We highlight the complexities of managing conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, including the pitfalls of self-medication and the hidden dangers of over-the-counter drugs and lifestyle choices. To support those navigating these challenges, we also provide essential hotline resources. Tune in for an enlightening session packed with valuable insights into the intricate realm of neurocognitive health.
