Inclusive 🎃 Halloween trick-or-treating. It's a night full of costumes, candy and fun. But for some trick-or-treaters, it can be a little harder to take part in the spooky tradition.

You might notice some kids carrying around a blue bucket or houses with teal pumpkins out front or even a purple pumpkin. So what does that mean? - teal pumpkin outside or even a picture of one in the window it often means they offer non-candy treats like little toys or trinkets. It's part of an initiative called The Teal Pumpkin Project that started in 2012. The initiative recognizes that children with food allergies cannot partake in traditional Halloween treats and encourages participants to place a teal-colored pumpkin on their property to indicate they offer non-food treats. - blue pumpkin Carrying a blue bucket is intended to alert others that the participant (who may be a child or adult) is coping with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and may be non-verbal or have difficulty communicating. - purple pumpkin the Purple Pumpkin Project sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation. On its website, the foundation invites participants to “Paint your pumpkin purple and help raise awareness for epilepsy”.

Today's post is on why Dr. Grayson chose the field of psychiatry and why child and adolescent psychiatry specifically is a great field. Dr. Grayson started out in neurology and changed paths. She shares her story of WHY she switched into psychiatry:⁠

📘⁠

Psychiatry is a field that carries a lot of preconceived notions and stigmas. During medical school I let statements like these influence my specialty choice and rank list, despite knowing deep down that psychiatry was where I belonged. ⁠

Why did I change to psychiatry?⁠

Not long after starting neurology residency I knew it definitely wasn’t for me. I was just not happy. I found myself wanting to spend more time sitting and talking to patients about how their illnesses impacted them and their lives. I remember sitting with one patient who was labeled “non-compliant, a problem patient, frequent flyer” and asking her about her life and how she was doing and coping. She broke down crying and told me about how hard it had been to get out of bed and care for herself and her child. I spent forty five minutes with her, referred her to therapy, and started an antidepressant. Six months later she came back for a follow up and was a completely different person. A year later she was taking her medications and had stayed out of the hospital for eight months. This was the turning point where I realized psychiatry was what I was meant to do and made the decision to switch. ⁠
