  • Family and Caregiver Education BEREAVEMENT
    Family and Caregiver Education BEREAVEMENT Why do I feel guilty? Guilt often plays a part in normal grieving. It seems to surface as one “reviews” the sequence of events leading up to and including the death of a loved one. This review process is natural. In fact, it is part of the healing process. But as one reviews, alternative choices and responses become apparent in hindsight. That’s when guilt can rear its head. Actually, there have been nine types of guilt identified in relation to the grieving process: * Death Causation Guilt Can occur whether the person was actually directly responsible for the death, or not at all responsible. The perception of responsibility is the driving factor. Illness-Related Guilt Focuses on the time period prior to and including the illness of a person who has died. Examples include: not believing the person was ill, not noticing symptoms that led to the illness and the death, saying or doing something negative during the illness, being angry at the person for being ill, etc. Role Guilt A role is an expected set of behaviors. When a person we care about dies, guilt may emerge concerning, “what I should have done with, or for,” this person (in relation to our role as parent, spouse, etc.). If Only Guilt Stems from the belief that the bereaved survivor could have done something to change the course of the illness and/or death. Much of it falls into the category of Magical Thinking (doing something, or failing to do something, that any reasonable person would say had no relationship to the death; but nonetheless, the person feels responsible for the death in some way).

  • Empathy and Support Those Bereaved & Grieving
    INCREASE EMPATHY AND SUPPORT THOSE BEREAVED & GRIEVING “Empathy is a strange and powerful thing. There is no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’” Brene Brown Bereavement and grief can be challenging in ‘normal’ times. However, the current pandemic has exacerbated this with an increased loss of life together with restrictions around how we are able to grieve due to the social distancing and lockdown measures in place. Supporting someone who is grieving can feel uncomfortable and difficult for a number of reasons: Emotions are contagious When someone is feeling an emotion we experience a similar feeling in ourselves. Whilst this is largely unconscious, being a function of our mirror neurons, when we feel an emotion that is unpleasant such as anger, pain, sadness or depression, there is a tendency to try to ‘get rid’ of the emotion leading us to either suppress it or fix it. This can be expressed in a variety of ways: • Saying sentences that start with ‘at least’ for example ‘at least they had a good life’ or ‘at least you had a good relationship with them’ • Offering advice or suggestions such as ‘what would you like to do to make you happy?’ or ‘keep yourself busy to distract yourself’ • Offering different perspective such as ‘keep smiling, it could be worse’ or ‘they aren’t suffering any more’ Whilst these are well-intentioned with the aim of helping the other person, what this actually does is invalidate the emotion the person is feeling as well as not allowing them to interpret their feelings and come up with effective ways to process them.

A draw for an Apple iPad was ofered as an incentive for completing the survey. The population studied was the approximately 38,000 physicians who are currently members in good standing of the College of Family Physicians of Canada. A total of 5,000 random members were invited to participate. The e-mail message to members made it clear that the survey originated with the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The invitation was sent in English and French. The invitation e-mail directed physicians to the survey questionnaire in the language of their choice, located on an independent, third-party survey site. Results were compiled using Survey Gizmo. A total of 309 family physicians completed the survey, including 279 in English and 30 in French. All responses were entirely anonymous. Medical Readership Information Study 2020 1 Notes Member survey This is a survey of members of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), almost all of whom receive Canadian Family Physician (CFP) as a benefit of membership. This may mean that there is some degree of “halo effect” in which overall attitudes revealed in questions regarding journal readership tend to favour CFP. Journal readership patterns among francophone readers may be particularly affected.

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Diagnosis and Management JILL N
    Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Diagnosis and Management JILL N. FENSKE, MD, and THOMAS L. SCHWENK, MD, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an illness that can cause marked distress and disability. It often goes unrecognized and is undertreated. Primary care physicians should be familiar with the various ways obsessive-compulsive disorder can present and should be able to recognize clues to the presence of obsessions or compulsions. Proper diagnosis and education about the nature of the disorder are important first steps in recovery. Treatment is rarely curative, but patients can have significant improvement in symptoms. Recommended first-line therapy is cog- nitive behavior therapy with exposure and response prevention or a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The medication doses required for treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder are often higher than those for other indications, and the length of time to response is typi- cally longer. There are a variety of options for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder, including augmentation of a selec- tive serotonin reuptake inhibitor with an atypical antipsychotic. ECK Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic condition with a high rate B of relapse. Discontinuation of treatment should be undertaken with oan caution. Patients should be closely monitored for comorbid depression and suicidal ideation. (Am Fam Physician. 2009;80(3):239-245. Copy- right © 2009 American Academy of Family Physicians.)
