More labor like I am used to seeing it in the upper Midwest. In keeping with the tradition of previous labor days - this is my annual greeting. I started writing these Labor Day greetings as an update on the work environment for physicians. My rationale is that over my nearly 40 years in medicine that environment has continuously deteriorated. Like any field there have been obvious improvements and innovation in clinical care along the way.

With this, unfortunately, comes the reality that flaws will abound. Sometimes, in worst case scenarios, your therapist may even be abusive. School doesn’t teach therapists how to, well, handle their s$@#.

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool for diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions that have long perplexed even the most seasoned clinicians. Among these conditions, treatment-resistant depression (TRD) stands out as one of the most challenging. Despite numerous advances in psychiatric care, a significant subset of patients remains unresponsive to traditional treatments, leaving them in a state of chronic mental distress.

Mum did something really weird today said my non-medical sister to my brother and I. I looked up and took note, as there was something in the tone of her voice that made me feel uneasy.

For context Im a GP and my brother is a neurologist so you can probably guess what happened next.

As we dive into dealing with a child’s anxiety I want to first share a few quick insights I wish I would have heard when I was growing up with anxiety. First of all, it’s not just anxiety. Often, mixed in with the anxiousness over something is suppressed rage, shame, guilt, feeling like a burden, sadness, and extreme doubt. To put it all into the container of ‘anxiety’ therefore would neglect much of what’s taking place within a child’s mind and body.
