Creative approaches to treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic with Dr. Craig Chepke
<p>Craig Chepke, MD, speaks with Lorenzo Norris, MD, about changes he made to his practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, and plans to make some of those changes permanent.</p> <p><a href="https://excelpsychiatric.com/">Dr. Chepke</a> is a psychiatrist in Huntersville, N.C., and adjunct associate professor at Atrium Health and adjunct assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He disclosed serving as a consultant and speaker for Otsuka and Janssen, and as a speaker for Alkermes.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.gwdocs.com/find-a-doctor/lorenzo-norris-md/">Dr. Norris</a> is associate dean of student affairs and administration at George Washington University, Washington. He has no disclosures.</p> <p><strong>Take-home points</strong></p> <ul> <li>Dr. Chepke discussed his strategies for adapting his practice to the restrictions of the pandemic. He engaged in shared decision-making with patients when modifying his practice, including starting a drive-through pharmacotherapy clinic.</li> <li>To ensure that patients continued to have access to treatments such as long-acting injectable antipsychotics and esketamine, Dr. Chepke created a system in which patients could drive up to his clinic to have the medication administered. Because esketamine requires a 2-hour monitoring period after administration, he adapted the safety protocol.</li> <li>After patients received their intranasal spray dosage, they would complete the monitoring period in their car in the parking lot outside of his office, which was close enough to the clinic for Dr. Chepke to physically observe the patient, and to monitor vital signs wirelessly via a Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuff.</li> <li>Throughout the pandemic, Dr. Chepke found ways to care for his patients’ physical and mental health. He also adopted technologies that help him monitor his patients' vital signs and glucose levels.</li> <li>Especially while focusing on treatment-resistant psychiatric illness, Dr. Chepke invites family members to participate in evaluation and treatment. He uses this approach because he realizes that effective treatment must involve the system in which the individual exists.</li> <li>Dr. Chepke and Dr. Norris discussed ways in which clinicians can extend hope to their patients through flexibility and innovation, especially throughout the pandemic. Providing hope to patients demonstrates belief in a better future.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Reference</strong></p> <p>Chepke C. <a href= "https://www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/221263/schizophrenia-other-psychotic-disorders"> Current Psychiatry. 2020 May;19(5):29-30</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>* * *</strong></p> <p>Show notes by Jacqueline Posada, MD, associate producer of the Psychcast; assistant clinical professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University, Washington; and staff physician at George Washington Medical Faculty Associates, also in Washington.

Examining a model for intervening in gun-related violence in the US with Dr. Jack Rozel
<p>John “Jack” Rozel, MD, MSL, returns to the Psychcast to talk with Lorenzo Norris, MD, about American gun violence and steps clinicians can take to disrupt it.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.psychiatry.pitt.edu/about-us/our-people/faculty/john-s-rozel-md"> Dr. Rozel</a> is medical director of the resolve Crisis Network. He also serves as associate professor of psychiatry and adjunct professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Rozel is also past president of the American Association for Emergency Psychiatry. He has no disclosures.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.gwdocs.com/find-a-doctor/lorenzo-norris-md/">Dr. Norris</a> is associate dean of student affairs and administration at George Washington University, Washington. He has no disclosures.</p> <p><strong>Take-home points</strong></p> <ul> <li>Mass violence with guns is occurring with greater frequency and severity in the United States, compared with other countries. Mass shootings have been on the rise. In 2020 there were nearly 200 more mass shootings, compared with 2019.</li> <li>The United States has a broad swath of firearm violence: Deaths by suicide account 60% of gun deaths, and the remaining 40% are deaths by homicide. Only 1%-2% of firearm homicides are completed in mass shootings – which are defined as an event in which four or more people are shot in an indiscriminate manner.</li> <li>It is also a distinctly American problem that we have so many guns in our country. The United States has more civilian-held firearms (393 million) than the next 39 countries combined. Being an adult in the United States means being 25 times more likely to be the victim of a firearm homicide, compared with adults in any other country.</li> <li>Dr. Norris and Dr. Rozel conclude that violence assessments must always cover suicide and homicide risk because they are related types of violence, especially when it comes to guns.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Summary</strong></p> <ul> <li>Suicide risk is increased by 100-fold when a new gun enters the home, and the risk peaks in the first days to weeks of ownership and then trails off. However, there is a measurable difference in risk of suicide in the 5 years after the purchase. Dr. Rozel emphasizes that it is essential to ask patients about acquisition of new guns, because as circumstances change as with the pandemic, people may feel the need to buy a gun.</li> <li>Dr. Rozel presented a model for possibly reducing gun violence: <ul> <li>Grievance: All violence starts with feeling like a victim; some people feel aggrieved after a disagreement or even a threat.</li> <li>The Pivot: This is a transition from simply having a grievance to violent ideation and wanting vengeance through violence. Perpetrators of violence shift from fantasy into research about planning and preparing to attack.</li> <li>Preparation: This stage includes acquiring weapons and, in some cases, tactical clothing. It also could include probing into their targets’ vulnerabilities, a “test attack,” and eventually the final attack.</li> <li>Breach: This entails a change in the safety of the potential victim. </li> <li>Attack: This stage encompasses perpetrating the attack.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Identifying a person at the grievance stage is the most effective place to intervene and potentially diffuse a violent situation by using motivational interviewing to enhance protective factors. Psychiatry’s greatest strength is meeting the aggressor where they are and hearing out the grievance.</li> </ul> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>Victor D and Taylor DB.
