    #88-3 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Angry Adolescents

    In the third episode of our psychiatric “grab bag” series, we focus on the “angry adolescent” and the complex factors that can drive irritability and behavioral outbursts. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Jeremy Kendrick, MD discuss Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) and how it differs from other mood and behavioral conditions. We explore how coexisting factors—such as substance use, trauma, and ADHD—can influence presentation, severity, and treatment outcomes. The conversation emphasizes the importance of identifying the underlying cause of a teen’s anger to guide appropriate, individualized treatment. Evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), are reviewed alongside practical considerations for management in primary care. We also discuss when it’s appropriate to refer to a specialist or seek additional support, including use of the Utah Psychiatric Consultation Line (801-587-3636) for real-time guidance.

    #88-1 Psychiatric Grab Bag: Risk Assessment

    This month we shift to a psychiatric “grab bag” series, beginning with a focused discussion on suicide risk assessment in pediatric practice. Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Jeremy Kendrick, MD review how to ask about suicide in a direct, developmentally appropriate way and explore the differences between passive thoughts and active risk. The conversation also addresses the limits of risk prediction, emphasizing the importance of ongoing assessment rather than relying on a single point in time. We conclude with practical guidance on creating safety action plans, including how to engage patients and families, reduce immediate risk, and connect to appropriate resources. This episode equips clinicians with clear, compassionate strategies to navigate one of the most critical aspects of pediatric mental health care.Utah Psychiatric Call Up Line: 801.587.3636Have a question?
