Comorbidity in Emergency Room: the Psychiatrist’s Perspective
Journal Title: Psilogos - Year 2011, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The author puts forward some considerations about the psychiatric practice in the emergency room of a general hospital. Clinical practice in the emergency room should be highlighted by collaborative work between several medical subspecialities, including internal medicine and neurology. This is particularly true for patients with co-morbidity in order to provide quality of care. Finally, the author reviews several clinical cases and suggests guidelines for their management.
