Psychiatric emergencies are conditions of acute disturbance of thought, behaviour, affect or psychomotor activity, demanding urgent interventions. They mostly include attempted suicide, severe depression, psychosis, substance abuse, violence or other rapid changes in behaviour. The initial assessment should include a thorough history collection and a general physical examination with a lab screening, to rule out any underlying medical cause, as well as providing a secure environment for both the patient and healthcare workers.

Abstract
Psychiatric emergencies are conditions of acute disturbance of thought, behaviour, affect or psychomotor activity, demanding urgent interventions. They mostly include attempted suicide, severe depression, psychosis, substance abuse, violence or other rapid changes in behaviour. The initial assessment should include a thorough history collection and a general physical examination with a lab screening, to rule out any underlying medical cause, as well as providing a secure environment for both the patient and healthcare workers.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
