Iris Sommer
Iris Sommer

Iris Sommer is hoogleraar psychiatrie aan het Universitair Medisch Centrum in Groningen. Sommer is opgeleid als arts en psychiater, promoveerde cum laude op het gebied van schizofrenie en richtte de Stemmenpoli UMC Utrecht op. In 2017 is haar onderzoek naar hallucinaties: ‘Zie ik spoken’, verkozen tot publieksonderzoek van het jaar.

Iris Sommer richt zich met haar baanbrekende werk onder meer op het wonderlijke feit dat het vrouwenbrein veel minder goed onderzocht is dan het mannenbrein. Eén van Sommers belangrijkste bevindingen is dat vrouwelijke hormonen (zoals oestrogenen) een grote beschermende rol spelen bij psychotische stoornissen. Terwijl vaak voorgeschreven antipsychotica de aanmaak van oestrogenen juist blijken te onderdrukken.

Huidige psychiatrische behandelingen zijn veelal gebaseerd op klinische studies waarin vrouwen ondervertegenwoordigd zijn. Hierdoor is de zorg voor vrouwen minder evidence-based dan die voor mannen. Dit heeft grote gevolgen. Zo worden diagnoses bij vrouwen later gesteld en soms helemaal gemist. Verder passen behandelingen minder goed, waardoor vrouwen een grotere kans hebben op overdosering en daardoor bijwerkingen. En er wordt geen rekening gehouden met de menopauze.

Sommer schreef meerdere boeken waaronder ‘Haperende Hersenen’ en ‘De Zeven Zintuigen’. Dit boek gaat over hoe we slechts een deel waarnemen met onze zintuigen en de rest aanvullen vanuit onze achtergrond. Met BNR Nieuwsradio nam Sommer vijf podcasts op over de hersenen, die verschillende thema’s in relatie tot het brein behandelen.
