And so certainly from a family’s perspective, a family caregiver perspective, the last thing we want to have when it comes to good dementia care is a diagnose and audio scenario, or in this case, some type of screening result, and then we’ll see you again in six months. It can’t be diagnosed and adios.

I have so many questions, and I promise we’re going to get to the management of anxiety and serious illness. If you look in the diagnostical statistical manual, right, the sort of handbook for diagnoses, most of the diagnostic criteria are in some important ways kind of arbitrary, right?

In particular, we talk about Katie’s and Jesica’s paper in NEJM titled “ Juggling Two Full-Time Jobs — Methadone Clinic Engagement and Cancer Care ,” which described the difficulty in managing cancer pain and methadone for opioid use disorder. Maybe we’ll get to talking about that today. Jessie, welcome back to GeriPal.

So, the question becomes, what, if anything, should we do differently in the primary care setting to diagnose the disease? On todays podcast, weve invited Nathaniel Chin back to the GeriPal podcast to talk about what primary care needs to manage this new world of Alzheimers disease effectively. Does a good history matter anymore?

Substance use disorder is one of those complex issues in which clinical practice is changing rapidly. Sach 07:50 Yeah, it’s funny to even think about it now because our palliative program has changed so much culturally in terms of how we think about managing patients with cancer and substance use disorders.

And so I began to think about the training that I had and that there was no mental health condition that was diagnosed. Ashwin Kotwal: Yeah, and Thomas, I know this is something we’ve talked about as a group too, which is how do you translate some of these scales that we use in large studies to our clinical practice?

Managing anger is hard, it’s really hard. And yet we don’t ever talk about how to manage it. Not my normal clinical practice. And also the whole potential psychiatric diagnoses. And I’m wondering, why did this bubble to the top of topics to discuss today? Dani: Yeah, good question. Eric: Zero.

How do you do that in clinical practice, in a way that doesn’t take five hours of sitting down with somebody? We published a nice piece, I think it was in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management. We examine, we diagnose, we fix. We want to be seen for the entirety of who we are as human beings.

By rushing this into clinical practice and suddenly saying people that have positive amyloid based on an imperfect biomarker, especially now they have Alzheimer’s disease, I think we’re opening massive potential for harm and distress and predatory practices upon these people. I’m not. I share that vision.

A lot of people, and we have some data to say that you might have distress, but sex is not one of the reasons for your distress when you’re first diagnosed. And so we have basic treatments for these issues that we train oncology clinicians to bring up in clinic practice. These are oncology nurse practitioners.
