Description
Psychiatric presentations in general practice Medical schools currently use specialist perspectives on psychiatric disorders to train physicians, nurses and health professionals. The focus of such an approach is on transmission of knowledge rather than skills. This results in a lack confidence among non-psychiatric health professionals, which reduces their ability to manage common mental health conditions in primary care and secondary hospitals. This book is a practical guide to common mental health conditions encountered in general medical practice. It includes simple guidelines and a systematic approach to identifying, assessing and managing such problems in adults and children. The book also incorporates patient information leaflets as well as guidance for the clinician as to when patients should be referred to a psychiatrist for specialist management. The target readership includes medical, nursing and paramedical students, general practitioners, non-psychiatric physicians and counsellors. This book is a product of many years of work and experience in psychiatric and non-psychiatric settings.
