Listen "Unexpected Symptoms "
Episode Synopsis
A 51-year-old female is referred from her primary care provider. The patient had a 27-year-old son who died two years ago after inadvertently running in front of a car while intoxicated on hallucinogens. The patient continues to struggle with the loss of her son, and even two years later is preoccupied with thoughts of him on a daily basis. She is persistently talking about him, posting old pictures on social media, persists in talking about him at virtually every family gathering, and cannot seem to move on. When considering a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder, the PMHNP evaluates the patient expecting to see any of the following symptoms except: A. Identity disruption B. Avoidance of reminders that the person is dead C. Feeling that her purpose in life is to keep the memory alive D. Emotional numbness ---YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTc2VMSsl2I&list=PLf0PFEPBXfq5HGfNV-GbOlYHtDwd35OeG&index=47
