Another thing I like about it is psychiatry is one of the few specialties in medicine where you really actually get to treat the whole person and you get to listen to people.
Imagine facing a psychiatric crisis and needing immediate, effective care. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos chats with Dr. James Hart, the medical director of Rolling Hills Hospital. Located just south of Nashville, Tennessee, Rolling Hills is an acute care psychiatric hospital specializing in short-term interventions for those in mental health crises. Dr. Hart shares how his team stays on their toes, ready to handle a variety of urgent psychiatric emergencies.
He also demystifies electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), explaining how it has evolved into a safe and speedy treatment option, often outperforming medication in terms of quick relief. The conversation doesn’t stop there; Dr. Hart delves into the hospital's adolescent program, which supports young people aged 12 to 17 with family involvement and social work resources. He passionately describes psychiatry as a field where you get to treat the whole person and truly listen to their stories.
This episode is packed with valuable insights into acute psychiatric care and the holistic approach needed to support individuals through their toughest times.
