Back to the scheduled programming! I have shared many things I see in my office, including the mental health issues that people have been struggling with more since the covid vaccine. This article details what the entire specialty is seeing among vaccinated patients.

One of the points that really rang true was how many stable patients suddenly decompensated. Previously stable anxiety and depression are no longer stable. Anxiety has been a HUGE issue with patients. It has destabilized in patients that were previously stable, and it has become a new onset issue for those who never dealt with it before. I cannot count how many new patient evaluations I have done since 2021 where crippling anxiety is the concern. And bless them, they are doing everything they can before they come to see me. They are exercising and eating well, trying to get enough sleep when their anxious brain will let them, and nothing is working to curb the constant nervous energy. They also discuss personality changes. I have seen a lot of this both personally and professionally. People have become more hostile, angry, mean, and quick triggered temper. One of the really stand out examples was when I saw a patient a few months ago who I have seen for several years. Stable. Always had a great rapport with them, casual conversation about life and kids and going into middle age, the usual stuff. But at THIS appointment, they were MAD. For absolutely no reason known to me. From the moment I called their name in the lobby, they got up in a huff, walked past me and straight to my office. I started their appointment with the usual questions and got “yep” “Nope” “yep” as the replies. I let the snippy snide short replies go for a few questions and then I said “you seem upset today, which isn’t like you, are you having a rough day? Anything you want to talk about? I am here to listen if you need to vent something off your chest.” That led to a profanity laced tirade of word salad that I could not even follow. They finally just said “refill my F&*king meds I am done here.” I have no clue what happened that day. They didn’t have to wait, they were seen on time for their appointment, I checked with front desk and no discord happened up there aside from they seemed angry when they walked in. I to this day have no idea what happened that day. I have not seen them since.

This article hammers home nicely what we are seeing these days.
