EP106 - Insomnia After Bereavement_ A Clinical Case Study

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills.

This episode outlines a medical case study concerning a 25-year-old man experiencing recent insomnia following the unexpected death of his father. The primary objective for the medical professional is to diagnose the cause of the patient's sleep disturbance, which is understood to be a normal grief reaction and potential post-traumatic stress related to his father's failed resuscitation attempt. The case provides detailed background on the patient's health and personal circumstances, including academic stress and family history, to aid in developing a management plan and counselling the patient effectively for his grief-related insomnia.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #Insomnia #GriefSupport #SleepDisorders #Bereavement #MentalHealth #CopingWithLoss #EmotionalWellbeing
