Dear colleagues,
We are still absorbing the news and coping with a profound sadness due to the passing of our colleague and friend, Dr. Glenda MacQueen on Thursday March 26, 2020. She was a true leader in the Canadian psychiatry and represent us so well in the international scenario.
World Bipolar Day
On March 30, the world celebrates... Vincent van Gogh's birthday. But also, it is a day to raise awareness about Bipolar Disorder, a condition that affects around 1% of the world's population and that some specialists believe affected van Gogh himself.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lisia von Diemen to the Division of Community Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, effective March 9, 2020. Dr. von Diemen joins our Department with significant clinical, educational and research expertise in addictions.
Her office will be located at Addiction Mental Health Services - KFLA. She can be reached via email at lisia.vondiemen@queensu.ca
I trust you will join me in offering Dr. von Diemen a warm - even if remotely... - welcome to our Department.
