  • Assuming you’ve seen your PCP and had those headaches checked out

    Anxiety is usually very treatable. Look for an LCSW, LPC, or PhD psychologist who specializes in anxiety disorders. It can be good to speak with a therapist first before going straight to an MD psychiatrist, but it’s your call. Meds can be useful to get the worst symptoms under control while you engage in therapy, but meds alone aren’t a good long-term strategy to manage anxiety.
















  • It’s easy to take a black and white stance like “this is never okay,” but reality is never that clear cut. What if she was exhibiting behaviors that put other residents at risk? Should the long term care facility just put up with her and risk the safety of other residents, or should they take steps to remove her? This is just one of many possibilities that are not black and white. Again, we have literally no info to go off of, and we won’t because this woman’s situation is protected health information.
