Dr Leigh Neal to Speak at iCAAD Addictions Conference

Dr Leigh A Neal, Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Director at Smart TMS in London, has been confirmed as a speaker at the iCAAD 2017 conference.  

iCAAD is the International Conferences on Addiction and Associated Disorders – a series of ongoing global events concerning addiction and other behavioural health issues, incorporating mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

iCAAD welcome Dr Neal on their Facebook page.

His speaker profile on the iCAAD website explains his interest in addiction:

“I have been a full time Consultant Psychiatrist at the Priory Hospital, Roehampton, since 2002.  My practice is divided between General Adult Psychiatry and my role as a Lead Addictions Consultant.

“Most of our patients present with alcohol problems, then cocaine, marijuana, opiates and other drugs.  We also see patients with process addictions, often manifest during outpatient treatment or admission.

“As a Consultant carrying out initial assessments with often reluctant first time presenting addicts, it is my job to try to persuade them to take the first steps in recovery.  Recently I have been struck by the pathological increase in consumption of white wine , especially amongst women, and drug induced psychosis with cocaine and other stimulants – both of which appear to be getting to epidemic proportions.

“In my current post I am privileged to be able to offer patients quick access to assessment and excellent treatment either as out, day or inpatients, which in some ways makes my work less frustrating.

“I am increasingly interested in the relationship between an individual, formative life experiences,  interpersonal relationships and what lies behind addiction – part of the eternal “why” question, personality types.  This will be explored in the presentation.
