A 15-year-old's grades collapse over a term; her English teacher notices fresh self-harm marks and a sleep-deprived group chat. The same week, a 42-year-old ward nurse presents to occupational health "for burnout" after six months of unrostered overtime, a bullying complaint still unresolved, and a near-miss on the ward.[1][8][9]
Two settings, one exam question: "Where does a psychiatrist intervene — the clinic, the school, or the job?" Fellowship examiners expect you to operate as a systems psychiatrist who knows the named school trials, models workplace pathogenesis, and refuses to treat a toxic job with a mindfulness app.[1][2][6][7]
