About How to Be Patient
You may have noticed a new trend lately. Everyone is loud and proud about their mental health struggles (and thank goodness)! For practitioners, this movement is as exciting as it is frustrating. As each mental health taboo falls by the wayside as it enters the cultural zeitgeist, a new aspect of our specialty thus emerges. One we just don’t have enough hours in the day to keep track of, let alone engage with. From better understanding our patients’ (and our own) relationships with their conditions in a changing world, it’s more important than ever that we learn: HOW TO BE PATIENT! Each week, join Dr. Preston Roche (Psychiatry Resident & Digital Influencer) and Dr. Margaret Duncan (Psychiatrist & Content Creator) on their quest to better understand the patients we dedicate our lives to and the evolving paths they’re bound to travel beyond the clinic. By engaging with stories and perspectives that challenge our shared understanding of a condition, we hope you’ll similarly gain new perspectives as we look at our patients, and their mental health struggles, with further nuance and empathy. (And with Dr. & Lady Glaucomflecken producing, we've been mandated to include plenty of weird medical jokes too). Speaking of which, a key part of this is hearing YOUR stories! What’s changed your understanding of patient care? Do you have an experience that shines new light on something we’ve discussed on-air? Get in touch at: howtobepatientpod.com

Excerpts from the American Journal of Insanity (July 1851)
Published 19 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] The Gielans, citizens, medical men, and public officers, espouse the opposite side of the question. They maintain that the patients under their care enjoy greater liberty and suffer less coercive restraints, but they breathe a purer air and take more exercise, are more constantly under supervision, and by being so widely distributed, a few in each family are less subject to the disturbance and annoyance from other patients than is possible in large institutions. Thoughts? I mean, that sounds like something our current system could benefit from. It makes me think of those asylums where they let people spend time in the gardens and out in the yard and actually participate on the grounds. […]
