You’re a senior author on this article in JPSM, where you interviewed some geriatricians and other people caring for older adults, nurse practitioners, social workers, et cetera.

So what is the role of individuals like geriatricians in prescribing amyloid antibodies and caring for individuals who are receiving them? And I do think geriatricians need to as individuals make that decision, largely based on their comfort with the diagnostics and the specifics of the therapeutics. I’m a prescriber.

I initially got into it because I was really looking at the psychophysiology of stress, and so how stress affects our health and how relationships were always a component of that. But then recognizing that our relationships impact our health even outside the context of stress. I would say that. Ashwin Kotwal: Yeah, that’s right.

Second, as we discussed in last week’s podcast , older adults, particularly those in nursing homes, were far more likely to die than younger individuals. The article was titled, “ Change is coming ” – which also gives you a hint as to today’s song request. I probably should have said GFR. Eric: Yes. I just choose GFR.

Panelists Bill Gardner, Sonu Gaind, Leonie Herx have stated they have no relationships to disclose. So it started off for individuals with a terminal illness. All of the evidence shows that for mental illnesses in individual cases of mental illness, we cannot make those predictions. I think that’s a big mistake.
