The Psych Review is a podcast reviewing recent developments in Australian psychiatry. The cast is hosted by four psychiatric doctors: Alanna, Mazz, Greg and Milla.

We realise how hard it can be to stay on top of the latest research, so we created this cast to help our colleagues (and ourselves) keep up to date, in quick summary shows of less than 30 minutes.
