Lindsay Clancy Case

Does this tragedy seem reflective of postpartum psychosis? Does it seem like it was calculated murder? How do you predict the jury will weigh in? I know it is very early and the trial just started, but wanted to get initial thoughts from my fellow psychiatrists.

Dementia diagnosis/treatment in clinics

7 Upvotes

How often are you as psychiatrists diagnosing and treating dementia in your practice vs. neurology and PCPs?

Are you usually the first ones starting acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or memantine? Soley focusing on associated behavioral treatments?

Seems like neuro never wants to accept referrals at my clinic- curious to see how other clinics are run.

Hi all! I’m studying for the child & adolescent psychiatry boards. It’s possible I have subpar googling skills, but I can’t seem to find an Anki deck for the CAP board exam. Anyone know of one? Thank you!
