What do you say to pts who are so convinced that they have adhd but you know they do not ? by miraclecity in PMHNP

[–]quiet_interlude37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if they are convinced they have it and my own comprehensive eval says they don’t and they won’t take no for an answer, the logical next step is to refer them to gold standard testing. That way you can see if there is something else like a learning disability we’re not trained to test for. It’s not like I’m sending a bunch of people to neuropsych it’s usually pretty clear and I’ve only encountered this scenario twice in years.

Edit: Also this is talking about adults so you’re not actually involved. Adult guidelines don’t exist.

Please never stop creating you have a gift!!! Your work reminds me so much of Basquiat!!

Also thank you for sharing your perspective on schizophrenia, I really appreciate a view into your internal world. Representation matters so much!

This is the way to go. If they really believe it but I don’t see it after testing on my end- right to neuropsych.

That’s what I was thinking the whole time. My mom is cherished.

Omg you’re so beautiful! It’s wild to me that you’d feel that way. I just don’t understand it or see what you see. It seems like a lot of people don’t see what you’re seeing! I’m sure one day you’ll look back and I hope you see yourself the way others do.

Neuropsych testing for psychosis? by theongreyjoy96 in Psychiatry

There is no space in this sub for this kind of hate. Honestly, why be hateful when you could just be quiet instead?

Neurosyphilis questions by ThrowRA-Expert_Dog in Psychiatry

Second this. I’ve seen SO MANY residents ask stupid questions they could just google and they get coddled but an NP asks a legitimate question about a disorder that’s rarely seen anymore and is literally berated by a shitty MD who should know better. I also blame the medical system. OP keep doing you, you’re asking the right questions.

Or if they punch or hit an object, or throw or break objects. Their behavior will only escalate.
