Hello and welcome to the Psychiatry and Psychotherapy podcast, with over 32,000 mental

professionals listening every episode.

Why?

Because we need to stick together to survive a mental health field.

I'm here to talk about getting rid of burnout, increasing jobs satisfaction, and feeling

like an expert in what you do.

So before we start this episode, in this episode, we are going to go through someone's story.

I actually have someone on the podcast with me, Stephen Prince, and he is going to be telling

his story, and we're going to be looking at all the psychological changes, some of the

medication changes, and changes in brain function.

And at the end of this episode, which is about 38 minutes, 40 minutes into the episode,

I will then come on and talk about some of the neurological aspects of this case, some

of the details on his stroke, and what kind of stroke it was, and why he had some of the

symptoms he did have, and we'll be looking into also broader types of issues that are

similar.

And so hopefully it's a great case to learn a lot about a particular individual, but

then also to learn about some of the pathology that follows.

All right, so welcome back to the podcast.

I'm here with one of my patients who has consented to come on, and he is a former hotel executive

actor, CPA, who had five strokes, really bad tenitis, and would spend hours a day googling,

trying to figure out how to solve his medical issues, his anxiety eventually led him to

have a heart attack, and up in the hospital, and eventually got referred to me as a psychiatrist.
