@dr.devanbaijal In honor of being at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry annual conference this week, here are some fun ways kids kept me on my toes (and humbled me) this past month!! It is truly an honor to care for the mental health of children, and one day into this conference I’m already inspired by all the other child psychiatrists throughout this country. It should also be said that it is society’s responsibility to protect children and so much more needs to be done to provide the support, system, infrastructure, tools, resources etc that kids can rely on to thrive and flourish, so we must keep advocating for more! (Disclaimer: remember this is never clinical advice and I will never post anything that pertains to identifiable information of my patients and this is all just jokes and not a representation of my employers so let’s keep it fun and don’t cancel me) #mentalhealth #therapy #psychiatry #medicine #psychiatrist

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

The first slide acts as a title card, establishing a high-curiosity premise. It defines the creator's role (e.g., 'their psychiatrist') and the specific context ('on the psych ward'), promising to reveal a curated list of interesting interactions.

Payoff

The final slide delivers the last anecdote and includes a brief, parenthetical personal reaction from the creator. This serves as a concluding thought or punchline, adding a layer of personality and summarizing the creator's takeaway from the experiences.

Narrative framework

This framework hooks the audience by establishing a specific professional or personal role and promising to share a series of surprising, humorous, or insightful interactions from that context. Each subsequent slide delivers a self-contained anecdote, functioning as a 'proof point' that keeps the user swiping for the next reveal.
