Navigating the Ethics of Disclosure in RBD
Manage episode 372470628 series 2688360
In this episode of Talking Sleep our guest, Dr. Alon Avidan, helps us better understand the ethics of disclosure in REM sleep behavior disorder. A big part of this disorder's overall management includes disclosing potential neurodegenerative sequelae. While prescribing medications can be fairly straightforward, the discussion of a potentially life-altering diagnosis is more nuanced. It requires not only the explanation of Lewy Body dementia or Parkinson’s but also the ability to assess what a patient needs to hear and when it is appropriate to disclose this information.
