Keyword SearchDiary From the Front Lines is a regular feature from The Primary Care Companion to The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry by Dr. Christian G. Wolff.
Dr. Wolff is a board-certified family physician in private practice in Cornelius, North Carolina. He finished his family practice residency in 1997. He has graciously consented to share stories from the trenches of primary care. While his practice diary is taken from actual patient encounters, the reader should be aware that some medication references may represent off-label uses. We at the Companion are certain that these vignettes will inform, entertain, challenge, and stimulate our readers in their effort to address behavioral issues in the everyday practice of medicine.
