Best ways to get referrals from y'all?
I'm a psychiatrist and potentially starting a private practice from 0. Would take major insurances, some Medicaid, no Medicare. Open to seeing pretty much anything other than ASPD/long criminal histories, but would like to keep substance use disorders to a minimum. Happy to see eating disorders, functional problems, ADHD, autism evals, in addition to the basic depression and anxiety.
Do I just send letters to your offices? Should I stop by and talk to your receptionist and give out...

April Interviews?
2 part question ig:
1. I've been accepted to NYU, and waitlisted for Touro and UCSF. I fear I will commit suicide if I attend NYU from everything I heard, but Touro is a new school, so not sure if that's where I should be either... UCSF would be nice, but odds of getting off the waitlist are slim to none. What are people's thoughts on NYU vs Touro?
2. I haven't heard back from Penn, Columbia, or Stony Brook yet. Can I just assume that they're not even in the slightest interested in my...

Should I Quit?
So this is going to be another "Should I leave EM?" post. No eye-rolls please.
Worked community ER for > 10 years. Early 40s, and finally hit my FI number.
Experienced firsthand all the usual reasons for wanting to quit.
Sued twice, which led to a period of depression and suicidal thoughts. Thankfully, both cases were dismissed after years of litigation, but still fear the next possible lawsuit
I've worked at a lot of different hospitals in multiple cities and have never...

Potential liability of a clinic policy
I wanted to get feedback from you guys about a recently implemented policy at a clinic I work at. Admin has started pushing PHQ-9s electronically to all patients on the mornings of their appointments and CSSRS screeners to all intakes on the mornings of their appointments. My worry is that these ask about suicidal ideation but that a proper risk assessment might not happen until much later in the day. Is this a potential liability risk? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Need advice for 2025 Match (DO student)
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get an idea of how many pathology programs I should apply to in the upcoming cycle. For some background, I am a fourth year DO student at an established school in the NE graduating off cycle in September and will be participating in the next Match (a cycle later than if I graduated on time). I will be considered a DO Senior for match purposes. This was due to a medical Leave of Absence I took during my third year, it was for severe depression and suicidal...

how to talk about my GPA trend?
so essentially my sophomore year my grades started falling- I had some personal issues going on but i know that adcoms doesn't like it when you talk about depression. Another thing that was going on was an undiagnosed learning disability---> Essentially i went from 20 ppl classes in HS to being homeschooled my freshman year bc of COVID to 300-level classes.
I noticed that I was doing better in my more challenging honors classes (that had a smaller class size)
And...

Depression as a rising M4
M3 here on my last rotation (4 wks left). I've struggled with mental health for years, but M3 year has been so stressful that things took a nose dive. I have a good support system, I see a therapist, I take meds, do what I can to take care of myself, but I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread. I haven't failed anything but I have gotten very mediocre clinical grades all year (probably gonna be 3rd quartile in my class) and just generally feel down in the dumps most days. I honestly want to...

Any thoughts on Suicide Crisis Syndrome?
Does anyone know much about the proposed category of Suicide Crisis Syndrome, which attempts to codify a separate DSM disorder for suicidal behavior? The criterion describe a process model of suicide that involves essentially hopelessness, rumination, and panic. The rationale for inclusion is basically so payors will care about it as far as I can tell, but I also just got a brief intro from a recorded lecture recently.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a systematic...

Interesting article on students with clinical depression who do and do not identify as depressed/having depression
Many depressed students don't identify as such (opinion)
And that might not be a bad thing, Isaac L. Ahuvia writes.
www.insidehighered.com
Thoughts? The author's take away is that we should perhaps not encourage labeling/diagnosis of depression, as that may lead to less engagement in positive coping behaviors. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Ketamine
I have an medically complex patient with severe pain and severe MDD. They were admitted to the medical hospital and in conjunction with the pain service we initiated PO ketamine. Frankly, I was blown away by the response. Rapid, immediate improvement in both pain and depression which has also allowed them to progress medically. I truly think the ketamine is having a direct effect on this patients depression and the mental status improvement isn't just mediated through reduction in pain.

Feeling Discouraged-Seeking Advice
I recently graduated from college last year, with a major in neuroscience. I was premed, and decided to take the veterinarian route this year. So I have lots of hours to catch up on.
Issue: I really messed up my senior year of college. Depression hit me so hard, and I failed multiple classes. I did well on my prerequisites, but I know vet schools mainly focus on the last 45 credits, which senior year dragged me down. Other than that, I got As in all upper level neuro classes, but failed...
