Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry, 4th Edition (EPUB)

by M.D. Peter Manu, M.D. Ava-Dawn Gabbidon, M.D. Eugene Grudnikoff

As informative and rigorous as its predecessors, this fourth edition of the Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry is uniquely accessible and practical. Updated to reflect the latest literature and consensus approaches, it provides a user-friendly knowledge base to deal with the most common medical conditions—vital signs, symptoms, and laboratory abnormalities—confronting clinicians in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings.
Each chapter is structured to include clinical vignettes, differential diagnoses, risk stratification, evidence-based management approaches, key points, and suggested readings. The roster of expert contributors offers answers to critical questions about patient risk, immediate interventions, emergency transfers, urgent investigations, and necessary changes in psychiatric treatment.
In these pages, readers, whether they are experienced clinicians or trainees, will find the tools and knowledge they need to understand the intricate relationship between medical and psychiatric disease and to provide holistic and effective care.
