Oh wow, this is a really good presentation about Dual Diagnosis. Never thought I would be glued to an hour-long youTube video, but Dr. Magnuson is spot-on about the difficulty in diagnosing mental illness in a person with mental disability (at about the 32:53 mark) and asking about "voices" (34:10) 34:40 is especially good. As a parent, other points I found helpful: Ways to ask questions 52:10 mark. And I especially appreciate her empathy for the patient's situation ( 57:00 mark ). So very true. :-( My son has Down syndrome and schizophrenia; we were reassured that "self talk" is normal and nothing to worry about. He didn't reveal it for years, until he couldn't take it anymore, and held his held in pain and cried "I can't stand all the yelling and screaming. It's creeping me out!" It still took months to get a psychiatric appointment, after that.
Wow! This is good stuff. She has a pleasant and engaging presentation style. I have gotten many labels and now I'm having difficulty with decision making and my dad told me he's house bound. 15:00 Digging deeper that psychologists don't normally do when using open ended question. 16:40 I agree yes this is good to recognize. Multiplicity of contexts. "Whats Happening When, with Whom" I cant even stand two workers if our personalities or "fluctuations" are different. 20:00 This is true unless that dd individual has found themselves "slipping through the cracks" or "gaps" like me. I am all alone in my place with a homecare worker who is now more frustrated with me than not. And a community support worker that's a little nuts but now she's leaving. I can say one thing that it is difficult to manage everything yourself from workers, to house esp when there is asymmetric expectations.
the blind separate themselves and the services they get and I think that those who are not mentally ill but have mental disabilities, should do the same, being clear that you need to separate the two types of disabilities too. I typed this before watching lol.

MHMR says they need blood tests twice a year so will that check if I’m taking the meds cause I’m detoxing & I don’t want them to find out
