About this Event

Speaker: Dr Omid V. Ebrahimi
The Michaelmas 2024 Calleva Seminar will present groundbreaking work on global crises and mental health by Dr Omid V. Ebrahimi (https://www.magd.ox.ac.uk/people/dr-omid-ebrahimi/)
Mental disorders, including depression and anxiety, rank among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that global megatrends, defined as major and long-lasting changes in societal, environmental, and geopolitical landscapes, can exacerbate the risk of mental ill health. In this talk, Dr. Omid V. Ebrahimi discusses how global megatrends and critical incidents, such as infectious disease outbreaks and economic recessions, impact the onset of mental disorders and can alter human behaviour during moments when societal cohesion is most crucial. Drawing on his research into the COVID-19 pandemic, this discussion aims to deepen our understanding of how large-scale societal phenomena interact with individual psychological outcomes, and how insights from past crises can inform strategies for future preparedness and resilience.
Organised by the Calleva Centre (https://callevacentre.org/)
