But then...I ended up marrying a guy who decided to join the military two years into our marriage. I don't recommend that either 😣 different kind of tough being a milspouse

Love that you addressed the difficultiesof having a relationship with a doctor. Funnily enough I'm also an artist/pharmacist, engaged to a doctor and boy is it challenging. If there is anything that can test your patience, it's that. Especially since most doctors aren't people-oriented like you, but very logical and rational, which can be a challenge for a more emotional partner. It sometimes feels like they unintentionally bury their emotional side because of all the horrors they see every day - from patients neglecting their bodies to the point of decay, to bringing the news of death to relatives.

What food actually makes us gain weight for people with high metabolism.

I would be grateful if you could solve this mystery of weight gaining.Thank you.

I've dealt with it myself, a lot of times people have this disorder because they are scared of getting fat or they are depressed which turns off their stomach but they don't realize that their body needs food. That's the basic way of explaining it.

Thank you for bringing up the mind- body connection.

[@midnightred200]

I love the question about the physical diagnosis being a mental diagnosis. It’s actually amazing you went into detail about how the mind and body work together. I am on track to becoming a social worker and am very intrigued on how medical professionals come up with treatment when there are so many factors included. For example the environment a patient is in, their perspective on modern medicine and health care access. Keep up the extraordinary work Dr.Mike! You really seem to want to continue learning and are passionate to your field of work. If social workers and health care professionals could learn off each other more often, it will help us give each other more perspectives on different approaches we can treat both mental health and overall health since they work alongside each other. All in all, give our patients/clients the care they deserve to be the best versions of themselves.

[@theseshininglights9071]

Misophonia is the WORST - every time I’m studying in a uni library and someone pulls out food, I have to race to plug in some music or remove myself from the room before I start crying in anger.

I suffer from mental health issues and study psychology and I like how you address the mind-body connection, because it's very important for people to know the mind can influence the body and vice versa.

I lived with a doctor for a few years, yeah, you need to be very flexible, very understanding, and frankly you need to have the same desire to want others to be ok, if you can't picture yourself alone on big days from time to time, or aren't able to spend those days with other loved ones and be ok that your partner isn't there, then maybe you can handle it. I think it takes a special kind of person to deal with having a spouse that puts strangers first from time to time. It's a life of service, it deserves a lot of respect and understanding.

[@marjoriebrown9816]

The reason Cells at Work is so awesome is it shows what happens in the body through people and animation. When a doctor reacts to it its entertaining to see if the show portrays bacteria in an artistic/accurate way!

[@aishahawan2789]

Thank you for addressing the biopsychosocial model of health. As a psych major, it urks me that many people have not encountered this model of health. I mean, this could be because of the replication crisis, or the inaccessibility of scientific literature. I also believe that a lot of this has to do with the encounters patients have with their doctors. There are some doctors who do recognise the the contributions of our social and psychological environment to our physical health, while others (the majority) deny or refuse the mind-body connection and the implications on treatment. Thank you for creating more awareness of this problem.

[@kayleeo7330]

I have a mind-body disorder and I agree. It’s called Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome and it has to do with the nerves feeling pain when there is no real outside cause. It was treated with a mix of PT and psychological therapy called “pain psychology.” If it had been treated as only physical, it would have gotten much worse and pretty much encompassed my entire life.

[@musical_lolu4811]

The majority of us? Sorry, that's wrong. Even if we don't appear to you to recognise the relationship between the body and the mind, we were all trained to. We are ourselves simply stressed the fuck out by the day-to-day grind in modern healthcare, there simply isn't enough time for any of that. Screwed up schedules, ridiculous doctor to patient ratio, bureaucracy, emotional labor, burnout, you name it. Studying medicine, let alone psychiatry, isn't the same as majoring in psychology. I just had to quit the profession. Dr Mike is a family physician (and not a pediatric neurosurgeon) who looks passionate about his work, so he's extremely fortunate.

[@TFDwriting]

I'm not sure the majority of MD's in the 21st Century don't see the connection between mind and body but even if they do, the insurance and for-profit hospital systems definitely make it hard for them to carry out a psycho-social-physical treatment plan. I don't know about you, but my doc's have about 15 minutes to spend with me before they get yanked out to the next patient. Even psychiatrists are so over-booked that if they believe in a mind-body connection they don't have time to work with patients on cognitive issues; all they have time for is prescription writing. Plus... let's not forget about patient expectations. Patients have come to expect that everything from blood pressure to cancer can be controlled, if not cured, with a pill, treatment or therapy and use that as an excuse not to develop a healthy lifestyle that would improve mind, body, and spirit. In fact, Americans have come to expect that death is not inevitable. Death has become a failure of the patient's will to "fight," the physician's expertise, or a lack of research and technology. It's a messy, frustrating situation for everyone and I don't think we can point fingers at any single source of the mess; We all need to work together to get to a better place.

Hey doctor Mike! How often do doctors catch a cold or get sick? Since they spend a lot of time around sick patients I would think it might be often. Or are their immune systems just really good at fighting it off?

Retired from medicine. Only woman in my class in 70s. Skipped grades, took tests, entered med school @ 19. Docs were literally the only men in my age group. I dated so many, I lost count: maybe 30ish? I was so passionate abt my field (trauma) that I was a TERRIBLE date. My friends called me “The Serial Dater”. I went into practice w a motto - NO DOC DATING. Took a while, but finally found software engineer w sense of humor AND high IQ. I was 46, he was 36. Life is good.🤷‍♀️

[@SHINYreads]

megan ho I didn’t skip grades in uni, I took 21 credits a semester, took “maymester”, took both summer semesters. This pushed me thru undergrad faster. I doubled up on classes in high school, took act,sat early, started uni at 16. I don’t recommend this, btw, I was very emotionally immature for uni. Luckily, some of the older girls “adopted” me, they were REALLY helpful. I had no social life to speak of, no sorority, no dating to speak of in undergrad. Just studying. I would not do it this way if I had known better. I was pushed *hard* by my grandfather, who paid my steep tuition.

Ooh, I really appreciate your approach to mental AND physical health. My psychiatrist actually discovered that I have a thyroid disorder through a routine blood test he ran at the beginning of my treatment for postpartum depression. A thyroid disorder can actually both mimic and cause mental health disorders like depression and anxiety disorders, so that discovery actually helped me get off the psychiatric drugs faster as my endocrinologist treated my thyroid at the same time.

A lot. Although it's stressful, you learn so much about how to take care of other people. You're looked up as someone who people can turn to to help them get better. You realize there's so much we don't know yet about medicine, and it's still constantly changing. That smile you get when a patient thanks you for helping them feel better. Its just worth it.

About Cells at Work, the answer to your question is it’s both. It’s an anime and I love it and it’s also a very unique way to portray medical issues and what happens in the human body when things like illness, bacteria, disease, and infections happen. It’s funny but also it explains everything in a very unique way and watching I think it’s pretty accurate but I’m not a doctor so I’d really like you to see it and get your opinion. And it’s not anything you would expect. I’m sure you’d expect it to be a anime medical drama like a anime version of grey’s anatomy. It’s not like that at all, I’m sure you will be surprised. Anyway can’t wait to see you watch it!!

I know you’re asking him, but after working with many doctors I have to give my two cents. In my opinion, anyone can be a good doctor, but should they be? Probably 90% of doctors have terrible communication skills and don’t know how to convince patients they really care and are listening. I work with many doctors and most of them are fine people once you get to know them. Here’s an example of a common issue I see: Dr Mike sort of mentioned this in the video, but, often, people have multiple problems and they all think it’s one thing. The doctor will say, “no they’re not connected,” but never explain why and that makes the patient upset. Every time. Anyone can go to school and study medicine. A doctor can be a genius, and still be a good doctor, but that lack of patience and attentiveness will break that connection you should have with your patients.
