Mind Care Loop · Fine on Paper: Recognizing High-Functioning Anxiety in Accomplished Patients

Shared from Mind Care Loop, a sister society on Doctoloop. We believe the best care happens when our societies learn from each other, so every Doctoloop member is welcome to join.

Some patients look fine on every measure. Composed, accomplished, adherent, never late. They are also exhausted, and they will not say so unless you ask the right way.

Dr. Teresa Reyes Castillo, PhD, licensed psychologist and founder of Pivot Psychological Services in New York, works with high-achieving patients who are succeeding and struggling at the same time. She joins Mind Care Loop to show what that presentation actually looks like in a general practice, and what you can do with it in the time you have.
