Is this just another depressed or psychotic patient more in need of a psychiatrist than of you? Don't be so quick with that clearance. Sometimes patients have a medical disease that presents with predominantly psychiatric symptoms. Is it hyperthyroidsim? An anticholinergic overdose? A frontal lobe tumor? Or a bizarre presentation of porphyria, myasthenia gravis or other exotic diseases? Using a case-based technique, the speaker will present a structured way of thinking through the patient with an acute psychiatric presentation to avoid missing the occasional patient with a true medical emergency.

  • Use a differential diagnostic approach to patients presenting with psychiatric symptoms.
  • List various medical illnesses that can present with psychiatric symptoms to improve patient safety.
  • Develop an efficient approach to evaluation of psychiatric patients that will reduce the possibility for misdiagnosis.
