Lost keys, missed appointments: The struggle of treating executive dysfunction mdedge.com/psychiatry/art…

0 0 1 0 0

600,000 psych beds (90%) have closed since 1960- without any commensurate increase in community treatment/housing. Completely not coincidentally, an equal number of patients are now languishing in prison dungeons or living rough on the streets. Is this any way to run a country?

Only in a broken healthcare system I can have a patient on a medication for years. It has improved their mental health and the quality of their life But insurance declines to cover the medication Just because it’s January….

Telling yourself “I deserve better” could be “self-care.” Or narcissism. Or psychopathy. Or just ordinary immaturity.

Vicious Cycle: Most psych disorders interfere with sleep/too little sleep harms brain & makes psych disorders worse. Every 1st interview should inquire re sleep problems & sleep hygiene often crucial part of treatment. Regular sleeping pill use makes things worse. Nice graphic:

The prior authorization process does not stop fraud/waste. It exists to punish patients & the doctors who actually care about them. If you have insurance you should complain to them. They only care about the money their marks will give. This is not sustainable for medical care.

Today I spoke with a doctor who just received his license to prescribe marijuana. I asked him the difference between Sativa and Indica. He had no clue. Can we just stop with the charades already?! #legalizeit #endthewarondrugs

Normalise believing and showing support for others when they talk about harms experienced in medical culture instead of trying to protect it.

Instead of asking EMPLOYEES Do you have a hx of mental health conditions? Are you taking any medications for a mental health condition? We should be asking EMPLOYERS Have you created a safe work environment where people can seek help/treatment when they need it?

Evidence shows if you have ONE work colleague who you can confide in & share your struggles / wins with, You’re more likely to stay engaged and not burnout. Remember: we can make a difference with an N=1. 🙂 Personally, I love that.

'Adjustment Disorder' is my favorite DSM diagnosis- especially in kids. Useful: 1)as placeholder to provide time for thorough evaluation 2)to avoid more stigmatizing labels 3)highlights causal role of stress 4)to satisfy insurance requirements for a code

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling. You don't. Research: Motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around. In Practice: You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.
