| 3.10 Decisional Capacity Determinations in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry | 30 Jun 2025 | 00:47:02 | |
Dr. Mira Zein, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stanford University, walks us through decisional capacity determinations. This is a great episode for learners rotating through a consultation-liaison psychiatry service, and will really help you shine on rounds when you quote the Appelbaum-Grisso criteria (seriously, do it)! We also invite psychiatry residents and CL psychiatrists to share this episode with their favorite primary team to help non-psychiatrists make capacity determinations on their own... They are often best suited to do so! Dr. Zein walks us through the Appelbaum-Grisso criteria and discusses each criterion (communication, appreciation, understanding, rationality) in detail. This discussion goes beyond a textbook understanding of the topic, delving into several difficult cases of determining decisional capacity. We discuss common reasons for psychiatric consultation regarding capacity, and how to navigate difficult conversations when fielding consults. You will also learn about common illnesses that can cause diminished capacity, and how to proceed if a patient is found to lack decisional capacity (for a certain decision, at a certain time 😉).

| 3.11 Eating Disorders | 14 Jul 2025 | 01:05:49 | |
Today we have TWO world renowned experts to teach us about eating disorders! Dr. Anne O'Melia is the Chief Clinical and Quality Officer at ERC Pathlight, where she leads a multidisciplinary team of over 1,000 therapists, dietitians, and nurses caring for patients across the country. She is board certified in pediatrics, general psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and consultation-liaison psychiatry. She has co-authored numerous articles and book chapters on eating disorders. Dr. Patricia Westmoreland has spent decades traveling the globe speaking and publishing about eating disorders, and is currently working in private practice. Dr. Westmoreland has particular expertise in the forensic aspects of eating disorders, and in managing the medical complications of eating disorders. Dr. Westmoreland is board certified in internal medicine, general psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and consultation-liaison psychiatry. We review how to identify when disordered eating patterns require clinical attention and outline the most common eating disorders encountered in the general medical hospital, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). The episode covers prevalence rates, high-risk populations, and the significant morbidity and mortality associated with eating disorders. Our guests discuss key clinical information needed for diagnosis, criteria for medical hospitalization, and the spectrum of available levels of care. We take a deep dive into anorexia nervosa, reviewing its clinical trajectory, diagnostic criteria, subtypes, and complications. Finally, we examine evidence-based approaches to medical stabilization, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of eating disorders. Key References: 2.

The episode covers validated screening tools, pharmacologic treatment during pregnancy and lactation, and non-pharmacologic options for patients with limited access to care. Dr. Wichman shares her clinical approach to balancing risk and benefit when initiating or continuing psychotropic medications, and offers guidance on red flags for perinatal psychosis. We also highlight The Periscope Project, a model for expanding access to reproductive psychiatry expertise, and discuss training pathways and future directions in women’s mental health.

Dr. Caitlin Adams, psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital, provides an overview of functional neurological disorder (FND). This episode covers how to recognize, explain, and treat FND using a modern, evidence-based, and patient-centered approach. We begin by defining FND and discussing nomenclature from hysteria through conversion disorder and into our current construct of FND. Dr. Adams directly addresses one of the most critical misconceptions in clinical practice: whether symptoms like functional weakness or psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are under voluntary control. We explore what current neuroscience tells us about the pathophysiology of FND and how this can support compassionate and effective care. The episode outlines how to positively diagnose FND—including key physical exam findings such as Hoover’s sign, tremor variability, and features that distinguish PNES from epileptic seizures. We also review how to communicate the diagnosis to patients, reduce stigma, and improve treatment engagement. Dr. Adams describes the biopsychosocial model of FND, including common predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors. We discuss the central role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the benefits of specialized physical therapy for functional movement symptoms, and additional psychotherapeutic approaches such as mindfulness and psychodynamic therapy. Finally, we address how to manage chronic or treatment-resistant FND, and when to re-evaluate the diagnosis. Key References:

Dr. Nicholas Kontos, Director of the Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, joins us for a reflective conversation on factitious disorder, malingering, and clinical deception. We begin by unpacking the concept of “thinking dirty”—a term used in consultation-liaison psychiatry to describe the delicate and often uncomfortable task of considering deception in clinical care. Dr. Kontos walks us through why patients may deceive providers, including both conscious and unconscious motivations, and shares strategies for approaching these situations with clinical humility, curiosity, and compassion. We explore practical interviewing techniques to elicit more accurate histories and review key distinctions between factitious disorder and malingering, including diagnostic criteria, prevalence, and typical management strategies. Dr. Kontos discusses the concept of the “therapeutic discharge,” a framework for ending unproductive hospitalizations while still maintaining a therapeutic posture. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the central role of dignity and professionalism in managing deceptive behavior in medical settings, highlighting a model of psychiatry that avoids antagonism and centers patient care, even in the most complex situations.
