Session 5: Caring for Patients with Medical and Psychiatric Comorbidity

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 30, 2018 to July 31, 2018

Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a subspecialty of psychiatry dealing with complex comorbid psychiatric and medical illness. Over ten million Americans may suffer from co-morbid medical and psychiatric illnesses, making the need to evaluate, diagnose, and treat such individuals a significant public health issue. CL psychiatry not only has a home on medical and surgical units of general medical hospitals, it is expanding to include models of collaborative care with primary and subspecialty medical care settings with mental health providers playing a key role in developing integrated care models for patients with psychiatric conditions.

This symposium provides an overview on some of the most common and interesting topics in the field of CL psychiatry including cardiac and pulmonary disease, traumatic brain injury and diabetes, women’s mental health, as well as dementia and stroke. These topics will be taught in a stimulating and interactive, often case-based, manner.

Monday Depression and suicide assessment; Anxiety; Cardiac disease; Women’s mental health; Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders

Tuesday Dementia management; Post-stroke depression; Opioid use disorders; Traumatic brain injury; Diabetes and its relationship with mood and cognition
