Big Questions in Psychiatry: What is reality? (CPD eLearning)

21 August 2025

Professor Femi Oyebode and an expert panel join CPD eLearning Editor, Dr Howard Ryland to discuss what psychopathology and phenomenology can teach psychiatrists about the nature of reality.

Our new series of podcasts, Big Questions in Psychiatry, explores the complex and sometimes messy issues shaping psychiatry. With the help of world experts in the field and utilising a grounding panel of patients, carers, clinicians, learners and service managers, we ask about:

  • the philosophical notion of responsibility and its relation to blame in mental illness
  • phenomenology in psychiatry – how do we, either as patients or as clinicians, know what is real and what is not, for example, when dealing with hallucinations?
  • the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychiatry – is AI friend or foe?
