In this episode of Prescription for Admission, I’m joined by Dr. Nyota Pieh, a compassionate and insightful psychiatrist who helps me unpack the crucial role psychiatry plays in hospital medicine, especially in high-stress, acute care settings like the ICU.
We talk about how mental and physical health are deeply connected, and why psychiatric support is not just helpful but necessary for both patients and the medical teams who care for them. Dr. Pieh also walks us through what it really means for a patient to have capacity, the challenges around delirium, and how family advocacy can make all the difference during a hospital stay.
You’ll hear practical insights into the barriers many face when trying to access acute psychiatric care, and why early intervention can not only shorten hospital stays but improve outcomes across the board.
If you’ve ever wondered how to better advocate for yourself or a loved one during a hospital stay—or if you work in healthcare and want a deeper understanding of how psychiatry fits into the bigger picture—this conversation is for you.
✅ Here’s what we dive into:
Why psychiatry is a key part of hospital care
How mental and physical health work hand-in-hand
What does “capacity” mean in a medical setting
How family members can advocate for loved ones
The importance of early psychiatric support during hospital stays
