In recognition of Stress Awareness Week, the NEI Podcast revisits a vital conversation with Dr. Joan Striebel about the syndrome of catatonia—a condition that can emerge from profound psychological or physiological stress. Dr. Andy Cutler and Dr. Striebel discuss its dynamic presentation, the importance of treating underlying causes, and why clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion when evaluating complex or unexplained psychiatric symptoms. This re-release highlights key insights to help clinicians recognize and manage catatonia more effectively in practice.

In this episode, Dr. Andy Cutler talks with Dr. Ryan Sultán about the evolving landscape of ADHD—why diagnoses and prescriptions have risen across age groups, what recent prescribing data reveal, and how these trends align with real-world clinical experience. They explore how ADHD medications affect not just symptoms but broader outcomes like school, work, and safety, while also addressing concerns about overdiagnosis, misuse, and disparities in access to care.  

Dr. Ryan Sultan is a board-certified adult and child psychiatrist specializing in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and assistant professor at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He is the Medical Director of NYC-based Integrative Psychiatry, where he assesses and treats patients using a combination of psychological, social, environmental, and pharmacological modalities. Integrative Psychiatry also provides ADHD treatment in Miami. As an ADHD psychiatrist, he conducts extensive ADHD research with a focus on using big data to improve ADHD treatment in real world settings, advocating for non-pharmacological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for ADHD, coaching, and digital tools as a foundational treatment that precedes or supplements medication. He approaches ADHD treatment with a nuanced understanding of the current misuse and overdiagnosis crisis, and addresses this issue through careful assessment and monitoring.  

Andrew J. Cutler, MD, is a distinguished psychiatrist and researcher with extensive experience in clinical trials and psychopharmacology. He currently serves as the Chief Medical Officer of Neuroscience Education Institute and holds the position of Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York.

What are some of the major differences between intravenous or IV ketamine and intranasal esketamine? How are you building on these research findings and what associated avenues have been explored?

In this episode, we interview the poster winner from last year's NEI Congress, Dr. Balwinder Singh on his research comparing intravenous ketamine and intranasal esketamine. The study, conducted at Mayo Clinic rendered interesting findings that may be important for clinicians.

Dr. Balwinder Singh is a Consultant and Assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He is a psychiatrist specializing in mood disorders, and his research is focused on novel treatments for treatment-resistant depression and identifying biomarkers for ketamine response.  He is also involved in the ketamine and esketamine clinic practice at the Mayo Clinic Depression Center.  

This is one of the first studies to highlight a faster response to intravenous ketamine as compared to intranasal esketamine in an observational study.
