PAT DEEGAN: RECOVERY VS SYMPTOM SUPPRESSION
Thank you for your audience. Please share and help me grow the channel. The True Psychiatry Podcast is dedicated to reducing the excesses of the field and to bringing psychology back to everyday practice, goals that will ultimately benefit both providers’ and patient’s quality of life.
In this episode, PATRICIA DEEGAN shares her experience with psychosis and explains the RECOVERY approach to schizophrenia/ psychosis and contrasts it with SYMPTOM SUPPRESSION, the goal of medication treatment.
She discusses the role of MEANING and PURPOSE and introduces the concept of “POWER STATEMENTS” to help guide prescribers in the use of psychiatric medications.
