  1. I'm not seeking medical advice here. Patient is 21 years old tells the psychiatrist she has OCD. She explains symptoms "such as walking back and forth, repeating certain phrases, counting steps," etc. Patient said her OCD is becoming unmanageable and she needs medication. Doc asks checklist questions about OCD which you can only answer "yes" or "no" to such as "do you wash hands" "do you arrange objects" "do you have religious obsessions"? Doc asks a bunch of questions about the patient's history. Then he asks to speak to the patient's mother, who is in the waiting room. Patient says no but doc says he needs to ask a few questions. Doc asks questions about history such as marriage, pregnancy, young child, etc. Then mom starts complaining about patient sleeping all day, how her husband started yelling everywhere for something patient did last night, etc. Patient tells mom to be quiet but doc insists she let her mom speak. Doc asks "how old is she?" and patient answers 21 and the doc thought at 21 patient should be independent from parents. He recommends a residential facility because they will set a schedule and rules so patient can't sleep all day. He then says the residential facility might not accept the patient and suggested a supported apartment. He asks the patient about her career plans who she wants to become. He said to call a family service organization that offers a supported apartment and employment training. In the end patient asked doc why he didn't prescribe meds. Doc thought patient didn't need meds. Patient asks what is he going to do about the OCD and he answers with the dismissive gesture that he will treat the OCD. If you were the patient, what would you do? If you were the psychiatrist, how would you respond to the patient?
