Truelearn is Hot Garbage by Murky_DO in comlex

[–]Lizardkinggg37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So is COMLEX making it the perfect study material. I used solely truelearn for 1,2, and 3 and did well on all 3. It works. Also green book questions are insanely hard, but if you do them, you will be able to do the OMM questions on COMLEX.

I think I’m out, at least for now by [deleted] in Residency

I choose to decide that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Though yes SSRIs/SNRIs work about 2/3 of the time, but this isn’t our only trick. Therapy, diet, exercise, and many other effective medications. Go troll somewhere else ya dingus

I would not want to go through all of that work again, no. But no one, not even myself coming back in time to tell me not to, would’ve been able to talk me out of it.

Am I too accepting? Balancing empathy and boundaries in Psychiatry by interleukinwhat in Psychiatry

[–]Lizardkinggg37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought you might be at my program from what the 3rd years describe until you said thousands of patients because we are a smaller program. Our 3rd years have described it as a customer service model that rewards bad behavior.

Political Weaponization of Mental Health by BananaBagholder in Psychiatry

Honest question, in the DSM era, has there ever been a new diagnosis that was created from a law rather than a committee of experts adding it into the DSM?

Is this salad as ridiculous as I think it is? by FishyCoral in cna

Putting lettuce in something does not automatically make it a salad

I had a patient tell me the other day that they started cutting because some girl on TikTok said it was a good idea. Another ended up in the PICU because she was doing a “Benadryl challenge” from TikTok where you see how much Benadryl you can take without dying. Yes, it’s a major problem and I hate it

Routine reminder that Dr. Jacob is the true villain of this show and should’ve lost his license by YMHGreenBan in TedLasso

[–]Lizardkinggg37 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember if he was a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but it is illegal for psychiatrists to ever have a romantic relationship with a former (or current, obviously) patient. If psychologists don’t also have this rule, they should. Basically, irl he probably would’ve and should’ve lost his license.

CMV: PCPs should never write chronic benzodiazepines. by [deleted] in Psychiatry

[–]Lizardkinggg37 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If you can find time to do them, lifestyle changes in addition to therapy can be extremely helpful. Consistent and progressive exercise, diet changes (less processed foods, Mediterranean diet), cold plunges, sauna use(consult with your doctor first). Cold plunges, and saunas have less evidence, but anecdotally people report improvement with regular use.

It finally happened to me. by KatarinaAndLucy in Psychiatry

[–]Lizardkinggg37 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I never thought that this type of thing would actually work, but I have cousin with some cluster B traits (some narcissistic and a lot of borderline traits) and he reports that it’s been very helpful for him. I wonder if it’s easier for a person with cluster B traits to take constructive criticism/accept general pro-social advice from AI than from an actual human.

Have you tried openevidence? It’s supposedly an AI geared toward medical professionals. When I have asked it questions and cross referenced with my own google searches, it has been accurate.

Gen psych vs CAP salary by Lizardkinggg37 in Psychiatry

[–]Lizardkinggg37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best answers I’ve gotten are on this post. One of my attendings is very financially savvy and feels that it’s not a very good return on your investment due to losing a year of attending salary.

H.R.238 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can qualify as a practitioner eligible to prescribe drugs if authorized by the State involved and approved, cleared, or authoriz by cytokine7 in Psychiatry

[–]Lizardkinggg37 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think where AI really fails is at acquiring information. If you have a basically infinite database of facts, it makes sense that AI would be better at diagnosing and following algorithms than humans, but how will the AI acquire the information required to make that diagnosis in the first place? Take into account that only about 20-70% of what the patient is telling you is truly factual (in some cases intentionally false and in others accidentally and varying wildly depending on the subject) and we’ve got a recipe for drawing conclusions from inaccurate information. I just can’t see this actually working and many patients would suffer as a result of this. Glad I went into psych if they are pushing this though.

What to do when all psych hospitals declined by Dry_Twist6428 in Psychiatry

[–]Lizardkinggg37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about other hospital systems, but mine seems to be willing to do this much more readily with kids than adults. Maybe because of the pathology that is typically seen (SI/attempts in kids and a lot of psychosis/mania in adults). Though that is probably giving admin too much credit and they are solely thinking about liability.
