On this episode, we’re chatting about how researchers at the NCMH have been investigating how memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills, also known as cognition, are impacted by mental illness, and how online tools can be used to treat more people.
Dr Amy Lynham is a researcher at the NCMH and has developed the Cardiff Online Cognitive Assessment, or CONCA, an online tool to assess cognitive difficulties that are often associated with mental health diagnoses such as psychosis and depression.
Amy is joined by Anthony Cope, member of NCMH’s Partnership in Research group, also known as PÂR, and a public contributor to research happening at Cardiff University and beyond. Tony shares his experience of mental ill-health and how he's been involved in developing CONCA.
