Significance and Role of Consultant- Liaison Psychiatry (C-L Psychiatry)
Abstract
Background: Consultant-liaison psychiatry represents a link between somatic medicine and psychiatry, its care being focused on patients with somatic illnesses and concomitant mental problems and disorders. It has an important role in an integral and quality treatment of patients. It is often underestimated and undeveloped. Conclusions: There is ever increasing evidence of the efficacy of psychiatric/psychological interventions in patients in somatic hospitals and in family medicine practice. Therefore, the gap between the psyche and the body should be bridged, and the care should be unified and strengthened.Downloads
