As a mental health consumer with physical conditions it always concerns me that I won't be believed it taken seriously when I need medical care. I have a diagnosis is birth Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety Disorder NOS. So far I've been treated well, but I know that there are some providers that have bias. All I have to do is show a medication list. I've noticed a change of expression on staff. Nonetheless my medical symptoms have been taken serious enough. I'm glad you are teaching this.

Seems true that you may look for what you know by virtue of your own specialty. But not all psyche nurses miss a medical problem or chalk it up to psyche. I am an RNBSN who never even did med surg, and things like that NEVER got by me. On the evening shift I'd be the one who called the on-call physician to get the patient the proper attention for their medical problem or issue. And I'd leave excellent notes in the chart and leave the day-shift MD a short personal note/heads-up of the issue. Doctors trusted my assessments, and I am not the only RN who caught the medical issues and got the patient the proper attention for those problems in a timely matter.

Post more psych content please

[@TheXtremeDrums]

21:00 A bit of an exaggeration to presume that the psychiatist would have not recognized a degenerative neurological disorder, is part of their deal to DDx other medical issues before going with a psych Dx.

[@xDomglmao]

Agree, nonetheless very helpful!

[@nabilesmail9352]

yup lol- an in patient psych's job is to evaluate

[@capresti3537]

Nonsense, psychiatrists do not diagnose medical issues they always diagnose people on their behavior and tell them they are mentally ill without evidence. It's a playing pretend doctor.

[@myrajuju02]

He keeps saying “it’s the last time the patient will see a REAL doctor”’ as if the psych doc is a fake!? Like wtf.

[@NuclearFantasies]

​@@myrajuju02in my experience (as a patient) Psychs really aren't real doctors. No objective tests, no levels, no second opinions.

[@GlassHalf-full]

I think this guy sums up psychiatric care in the U.S. Welcome to the doctor, no one gives a shit. Have a nice stay.

[@medic2807]

Our psych facilities won't take patients without a full work-up.

[@myrajuju02]

[@myrajuju02]

This Dr is so un-pc it’s sadly hilarious because he’s obviously got such bias and deals with his own health issues on stage smh. He tries to speak for the whole of doctors but sadly missed his mark on this gen.

[@patriciajump9511]

And this talk is a ridiculous fabrication of how a psyche ward works up a patient. They do a great job, I know, and I am speaking as an RNBSN geriatric clinician in a highly reputable psychiatric state hospital. We can tell the difference between psychiatric problems and organically induced behaviors that may masquerade as a psychiatric problem. This speaker is very insulting and his exaggerations are NOT helpful in convincing a doctor to consider medical issues despite a psychiatric history or a presentation appearing to be a psyche issue. And the ER is not going to blow off a post partum teenager complaining of leg weakness. This talk's exaggerations and falsifications do NOT help people with psychistric conditions get better/more timely medical attention.
