Discipline Focus: Psychiatry explores not just how the brain works—but how people think, feel, behave, and relate to others.
In this emotionally rich case, a confused patient arrives with a shifting story. Is it psychosis? Delirium? Depression? Or dementia? We’ll walk through the biopsychosocial model, learn how psychiatrists build a timeline from fractured narratives, and explore how mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. This session will emphasise empathetic inquiry, risk assessment, and clinical listening—and remind us that sometimes, the story is the symptom.
