Normal reactions to life circumstances, like being a stressed-out teenager or, you know, being heartbroken.

And many people are trying to get off of these medications.

And so we have to think about patient autonomy too.

Um, I was in a very unique kind of residency program at the Brigham where I was allowed to tailor my training in certain ways.

And I came into this program with a strong interest in mental health.

And my

My preceptors and directors understood this interest in mental health.

And they allowed me to keep for my patients who had, um,

you know, complex chronic illness and and mental distress, um, one hour-long primary care appointments.

An absolute gift, both for the patient and for the clinician.

And I had this patient called Alice.

And she came to me because she was having these mysterious fainting spells.

She would just kind of collapse in the middle of the street, in church, um, at work, and we couldn't

figure out what was going on with her.

I sent her for a bunch of cardiac tests.

I sent her to a neurologist.

The neurologist said, I think you have functional illness, which you know is medical speak for we think it's in your head.

Um but I had actually seen Alice collapse in front of my eyes, you know, in clinic and I knew that she wasn't

making it up.

I knew she was truly distressed.
