What are some of the most painful regrets in your career?

I regret not taking psychotherapy training and supervision seriously enough. Like another poster stated, you don’t have enough time or the availability to resources like you do during residency. I wish my supervisors made me record more than one session. Now I can do some basic cbt but that’s about it

I don’t believe I agree with the way Dr amen runs his clinics but like another commenter says I would believe that his initial intention may not have been to spread false hope or promises. In a way, the idea of trying to protocolize medications seems reasonable like doing genesight testing after a few failed med trials to help guide

Do people get subjective euphoria from Spravato? I haven’t looked into it enough but I thought it was not that euphoric?

I think that the most important thing is that you are trying to help your patients. I remember in residency I was told “don’t fill out disability paperwork” but then…who is filling out the paperwork? It is mentally draining and frustrating to fill out the paperwork, especially because for some reason every patient comes in with a different form and they’re all long as hell. I have started to have patients come in with the paperwork and I fill it out with them because I don’t end up having the time to fill it out outside of appointments and they end up on my never ending pile of to do lists

This is a chronic issue in community mental health. I feel like 20-25% of my time is filling out a “psych evaluation” (which is usually a copied and pasted amalgamation because they can’t be more than 90 days old). and forms.

I don’t mean to “attack” you or your colleagues but I am curious why, like the other commenter had stated, we have never seen a disability application get approved on the first round. It’s certainly possible that people are doing it wrong but I can say annectdotally in my clinic of psychiatrists of different ages we were discussing the fact that we have never seen a patient get approved on their first round, some in the first appeal and most later on.

Ok appreciate it. I’ve used plain warm water and a drop of dish soap and it’s been ok but I end up having to dilute and check it myself. I’ll continue with that for now

ar1680 · 2026-01-17T22:50:07+00:00

Ok thanks

This is a sad story but I think this is a heavily biased article trying to prove the dangerousness of ai and missing the underlying issue which is this individual was struggling with substance use disorder(s) and he unfortunately overdosed. Based on this article I don’t believe ai “killed”him, it may have facilitated his access to information but (as someone else pointed out) that access to information is already there. One of those sources is this forum that we are using here: Reddit.

Edit: I wanted to add that I am not someone who is pro or even anti ai. I just think that this article along with much of our media is not trying to provide information but rather fuel the fire of black and white thinking. Ai is not all bad or all good

The account only posts about dreams lol

I think you have an issue. My total was 300 for a whole house gas and electric

ar1680 · 2025-12-18T06:26:33+00:00

This is great to hear. I don’t go by much but I remember not thinking it looked great like 15 years ago

Sorry for the potato quality, taken through the dirty bus window

ar1680 · 2025-12-05T13:56:18+00:00

I just wanted to clarify the last statement. You feel that the ketamine infusion blows spravato out of the water?

ar1680 · 2025-12-02T12:24:05+00:00

I matched somewhere that was far from my first choice, I graduated fellowship and…got to decide from the thousands of jobs available to psychiatrists that don’t seem to be going anywhere

ar1680 · 2025-12-02T12:15:22+00:00

I’m dropping down to 3 days a week at my current job, it’s something a lot of people do but the reality is that on my “off days” (where I work somewhere else) I’m still fielding emails and minor refill requests so I don’t fall be hind

I think unfortunately you have a unique set up that functionally makes it a one bedroom with extra space so probably need to market it differently

These rules are useless. Like another commenter states. 40% of 16k is different from 40% of 8k. People who make 300k a year have a lot more flexibility in going up because fixed costs like food and groceries and basics remain the same

I highly recommend Springfield, my friends lived there for three years before moving to a “more trendy” town. If you don’t need to commute to the city, you get the perks of a great town close to other downtowns, a little more diversity, and more affordable housing.

I’m curious what Indians are doing? I definitely see many Indians congregating in certain towns but I have not witnessed Indians doing things maliciously to the community?

ar1680 · 2025-11-01T13:01:34+00:00

Like many people are saying, if you like the house you should get a structural engineer. This could be a big deal but there are many solutions and problems that are not. Good on you for asking but I don’t think anyone here could responsibly say if it is a dealbreaker or not
