One of the things he didn’t mention is that other patients in an inpatient setting can be useful towards making an educated guess if the person is unwell psychiatrically or not.
I would love to be able to talk to Dr. Resnick on a few things, not particularly from a forensic standpoint but generally from a psychological point of view. What his view is on people who have preminitions that come true? dajavoo which I have experienced? and telepathy which I have also experienced. Just wondered.
It would have been helpful if he covered TBI and symptoms of TBI that overlap with other mental health conditions which muddies up a proper diagnosis, treatment and outcomes in lawsuits. I hope in the future there is better brain imaging techniques and genetic testing, with unbiased Ai reviewing the data from such testing in order to have proof in a court of law.

Neuropsychiatrist, huh? I need one worth his salt to diagnose chronic akathisia. I have 2000 people living with this who can’t get a diagnosis. I have people in every state needing care for neurological damage from psychotropic medications like antidepressants and benzodiazepines. Find us at the akathisia alliance on online. We are on Facebook and on Twitter raising awareness. I can’t find a Neurologist or a Psychiatrist that even knows about med damage beyond Tardive Dyskinesia . They will tell you that it’s your “anxiety worsening” when it’s actually damage from the medication themselves. It’s neurological damage at prescribed dosages! People are being gaslight for years while attempting to “treat” the med damage with more “medications”. What no one tells you is that all “medications” are actually “toxins”? You can’t “heal” anything by ingesting a synthetic substance. Why do they act like it’s a good idea to cause brain damage in attempts to “treat”? If it’s palliative care, “fine” but inform the patient of their actual risks. #akathisia #informedconsent
