Genetic Engineering to Eliminate Teen Suicide | Hudson Kaneko | Catalyst Innovation Institute

For a biology project, Hudson wonders here whether Genetic Engineering could be utilized to rid the world of teen suicide due to anxiety, depression and ADHD. To show why genetic engineering is possible to eradicate teen suicide from mental illness, Hudson examines science and the history of Eugenics.

Hudson Kaneko, a 15-year old (he/his/him), is an average guy who struggles with anxiety, depression and ADHD. He’s tried every therapy and medication, but he is now ready to face his challenges.

Facilitator: Jean Kaneko

featuring ADAA member Lizabeth Roemer, PhD.

This webinar describes the nature of anxiety and various ways in which anxiety can be maintained. Dr. Roemer provides an overview of mindfulness, the various ways it can be practiced, and how mindfulness can be of benefit to those with anxiety. She describes the importance of values-based living (doing what matters to us regardless of our anxiety) as the behavioral goal of mindfulness practice.

Dr. Lizabeth Roemer is Chair and Professor in the Department of Psychology at University of Massachusetts Boston, where she is actively involved in research and clinical training of doctoral students in clinical psychology. Dr. Roemer has published over 120 journal articles and book chapters and coauthored four books. With Dr. Susan Orsillo, Dr. Roemer has developed an acceptance-based behavioral therapy for generalized anxiety disorder. They have examined this treatment in studies funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their self-help book, The Mindful Way through Anxiety: Break Free from Chronic Worry and Reclaim Your Life, and self-help workbook, Worry Less, Live More: The Mindful Way Through Anxiety Workbook, draw from their decades of research in this area to provide guidance to people struggling with anxiety.
