In this video, I talk about communication techniques, coping & defense mechanisms, mental health drugs, and patient teaching.

  1. i like my friend who just became a nurse. she is very grounded when i tell her i have a problem. she is not that stupid in believing me in the things i hear or i see. she helps me be practical. this is what i need. a therapist who helps me see the practical side of my own irrational/impractical beliefs. i need to be more realistic even though imagination is important to be creative but being practical helps me forget i have generalized anxiety. 🙂

  2. Jesus spoke to them again:

    "I am the light of the world, anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life."

    John 8 : 12

  3. I am in Australia and our course is horrible, starts with DSM diagnosis, MSE and history of madness. Nothing was mentioned from chapter to chapter, from different types of diseases

  4. Thank you for helping me through semester 1 of nursing school! Now it’s summer break before semester 2 and I’m watching your videos to know what to expect this fall:) ❤

  5. Third semester here, just reflecting on how quickly the video quality has changed. The content has always been quality, but the evolution from a blurry whiteboard to a Streamlined YouTube channel is dramatic.
