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? The question I would ask is, how helpful is that in our clinical practice? And how do you think about it as a psychiatrist?

So, the question becomes, what, if anything, should we do differently in the primary care setting to diagnose the disease?

And so I began to think about the training that I had and that there was no mental health condition that was diagnosed.

I am constantly talking to clinical social workers about what are the ways that you can be contributing to research, to publications, to scholarship, to presentations, even if it’s a reflection paper? What are the ways that you can tell the story, the practice that you do? It’s good. So proud of myself.

Dani and Kery present three steps for interacting with an angry patient: Look within: What is this anger bringing up in me? Not my normal clinical practice. It’s just so interesting the myriad of ways that this can present in our behavior when we neglect to just look within. Definitely a deviation. Keri: Yeah.

How should I define cachexia and anorexia when I’m talking to fellow students or thinking about it in my own clinical practice? I think the very simple, practical thing is involuntary weight loss. We have an epidemic of BMI and therefore never use the way the patient looks like to diagnose cachexia.

How do you do that in clinical practice, in a way that doesn’t take five hours of sitting down with somebody? I’m fully present.

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.
