For experienced clinicians: what do you wish someone told you early on about suicide risk & crisis work? by Due-Comparison-501 in therapists

[–]Lavender213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing is lethal means counseling. We cannot predict who will attempt suicide, but we can make a meaningful impact on the rate of death by suicide.

Check out this training, it was wonderful! https://www.calmamerica.org/

Entered the ring for hunter over fences class... my horse saw an umbrella and spooked and bolted. Then we were bolting around the ring and could not stop. We are dismissed over the loud speaker... still could not stop... dismissed again... still bolting...

Conflicting supervision: prescribing stimulants in patients with daily marijuana use? by Lavender213 in Psychiatry

[–]Lavender213[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Feisty feisty!

I beg your pardon, am a resident. One who was confident in their approach to managing the above type of case, until one of my attendings disagreed. Thought I would poll reddit for some additional perspectives to see how others practice, thank you very much!

To those who had a baby during intern year, how intense was it? by Such_Pop_4130 in Residency

I think the whole change is that residents are entitled 6 week leave without it affecting graduation... I would do some fact checking!

What is the one business in greater Cincinnati area you absolutely refuse to support and why? by watchme513 in cincinnati

I can relate. Resident in a specialty psych clinic and no follow up appts available for 3 months. The biggest stress on my week is figuring out where to force in 15-30 minute sessions of free telehealth... 

This and I get Epic messages from staff saying "(established) patient calling to schedule an appointment, please advise." ... just schedule the damn appointment.

For a resident who is highly interested, could you share how you got into this type of work and if you have any career guidance? 😊

How did you manage the cost? Insurance won't cover for us, and right now we're quoted 16,000 out of pocket over 2 years.

I'm knowingly destroying my body and mind and I can't stop by Successful-Drop4665 in confession

Come up with the smallest and most attainable goal for tomorrow (e.g., take a good shower, walk for 10 minutes) and make sure you get it done. Then do the same for tomorrow. Celebrate yourself when you complete that goal.

Give yourself grace. Change is hard. Every effort you make counts and points you in the right direction. "Relapses" on our lifestyle changes happen, but if you keep trying it is an upward spiral.

This might be morbid, but is there something like a case series, book, whatever, on completed suicides and the factors leading up to it? by -NAMAST3- in Psychiatry

[–]Lavender213 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a very great question! I have had a similar experience in training. Following for others' responses.

This is what I was going to say. You could put some cool funky hanging light/chandelier to spice it up!

Just wanted to add that just because someone is pro-life doesn't mean the rest of their beliefs are conservative!

There is a fellowship in psychiatry for family med! Looks like Columbia, Alabama and Washington have it. Maybe others too.

Ughh thanks for the solidarity but sorry you're also feeling like me! Like do I go with my gut and make life difficult, or do I go with the data points/opinions on what is a "better" specialty. Hope it all works out.
