woohoo! clinic was a RUSH today, ultimate HIGH HIGH HIGH! saw 12 cases, the spread of cases seen was better than any other day during the posting!
here’s what i saw… generalised anxiety disorder leading to mild agoraphobia, hypoxic encephalopathy with cognitive deficits, recurrent brief psychosis, chronic schizophrenia, depressions, chronic primary insomnia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolars, mania (with symptoms), borderline pd, drug overdose, suicidal/self-harm, panic attacks, post-natal depression and… this interesting one…
“social blindness” - it’s a term coined by my tutor. hehe… it’s not in the DSM-IV. the patient was just very poor or simply unable to pick up social cues… really odd behaviour. interesting… dunno what’s the etiology. maybe should go look it up. hehe…
tomorrow is child psychiatry day! woohoo!
btw, my tutor says i probably have cyclothymia… not uncommon, but given my tendencies towards more creative pursuits… hmmm… u know, creativity has its roots in bipolar disorder?
heheh… gonna slack off and leave hosp now… go shop at the bazaar in basement 1 now. YAY!
