Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 381: #88-4 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Q&A
Q: How should a clinician approach school refusal when a child misses a lot of school due to anxiety?
Recognize that anxiety can drive avoidance and absenteeism, involve a treatment team, and consider stepping up from primary care management to day-treatment programs or inpatient care as needed, to re-establish functioning and prevent long-term patterns of avoidance.
Episode 381: #88-4 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Q&A
Q: What are the pros and cons of using hydroxyzine versus propranolol for anxiety, and when would you choose one over the other?
Propranolol is best for predictable, trigger-specific anxiety (e.g., performance anxiety), whereas hydroxyzine is often safer and broader in unpredictable anxiety; for ongoing or frequent needs, consider underlying maintenance strategies like SSRIs and therapy rather than chronic dosing, and tailor to the patient's specific situation.
Episode 381: #88-4 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Q&A
Q: Could you please demonstrate on the podcast how to help someone through a panic attack?
Yes. Practical steps include slowing breathing, grounding techniques like tracing a hand and naming colors around the room, and engaging attention with respiratory-focused exercises to disengage the brain from the panic triggers, which helps reduce autonomic arousal and regain a sense of control.
Episode 378: #88-1 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Risk Assessment
Q: How should clinicians approach questions about suicidality with patients who may be guarded?
Use direct, specific questions about ideation, plans, and means, framed within a safety-focused dialogue, to distinguish suffering from intent and to identify when escalation to crisis care is needed.
Episode 378: #88-1 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Risk Assessment
Q: What is the core goal of risk assessment in the clinic?
The core goal is to reduce the risk in front of you today and build a safer next 72 hours, rather than predicting life-or-death outcomes.
