Managing Metabolic Abnormalities in the Psychiatrically Ill: A Clinical Guide for Psychiatrists

Abstract

1st ed. This book addresses an important unmet need of patients suffering from both mental disorders and medical illness--namely, the lack of integration of general medical care with psychiatric care and the related problem of barriers to collaboration and communication among health care providers. It provide a current review of the relationships among psychiatric illnesses, metabolic abnormalities, and treatment, focusing on how clinicians can tailor care to those doubly-afflicted patients.
