OFFICE PSYCHIATRY AND MENTAL HYGIENE

Perhaps you become impatient when you or some member of your family have to give a complete his- tory to the physician about the illnms present, how it came on. how severe the pain. did pain move from the one spot, had you ever had a similar pain or group of symptom, and the answering of many more questions.

patient, he has to find out what the patient has to say about his illness and these are the subjective symptoms. The physician then has to find the objective symptoms. that is, what the objective signs of illness are- temperature, pulse. blood pressure. urine. blood and other findings. By putting the sub- jective findings and the objective findings together. the physician make his diagnosis.

However, far beyond what the patient tells the physician and what the physician discovers, is the make-up of the patient .. mentally, physically and emotionally.

While a psychiatrist is 8. special- ist who investigates the odd behav- ior of a patient and treats this be- havior, the average family physic- ian learns a lot about psychiatry from his contact with the family and the treatment of their illnesses

Dr. F. Germ Norbuigv. Jackson- ville. lzefore the Post-Graduate Conference, Illinois State Medical Society, stated that much psychia- try is practiced daily in the office of the general physician. It is being interested in people who have ill- nesses rather than in the illnesses themselves.

'l:)ffice psychiatry is the help that can be offered these people whose illnesses do not require hos- pitalization or the special all- round investigations of clinics."

Dr. Frank Billings, the great clinical physician of Chicago, is quoted as having said that 85 per cent of illnesses coming under the view of the physician can be diag- nosed on history of the cases and physical examination.

Dr. Norbury states further that office psychiatry means more than prescribing quieting drugs - bro- mides, barbituates. "nerve" vita- mins. It is an understanding of the family. social and business back- ground of the patient which the family doctor already possesses, but which the psychiatrist would be too busy ever to find out. Thus the family physician can explain var- ious symptoms of members of a "known" family; how the family make-up-pride avoiding difficult situations. Jealousy, and other per- sonal characteristics - are actu- illy the cause of their symptoms.

For Tomorrow

THE astral indications for this day point to an anxious and rest- less state of affairs. with worry and nervous tension likely to pro- duce a regrettable, foolhardy con- dition. Blunders. false ideas or er- ratio action might bring about law- suits, slander, e mixed-up state of all affairs, in which writings. pub- lfshings, contracts, become em- broiled. Letters. tr-vet. chance. had bestbepostponed. At the same time, there are excellent prospect! and worth-white expansion for in- vestments, finance. PUWC lffnlfs. and all sorts of major operations wherein capital is waiting. But do not gamble or fly too high with funds or feelings. Shun extremes.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. while having an excellent chance for growth, expansion. advance- ment, with enhanced opportunity for investing in major operations, could be carried away by excite- ment, ambition or emotionalism. Funds and energies might be squan- dered as well as the emotions and feelings. since the mentality is overwrought and judgment no de- pendable. Postpone plans and major operations until the chance of blunder in making decisions is nil. A child born on this day, while having splendid abilities for an expansive and progressive way of life may be prone to recklessness.
