Series: Oxford psychiatry library - paper.Publisher: New York : Oxford University Press, ©2021Description: 112 p.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780198870333.Genre/Form: Print books.Summary: "Psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety and substance use are extremely common amongst people with schizophrenia. They add to poor clinical outcomes and disability yet are often not at the forefront of the minds of clinicians, who tend to concentrate on assessing and treating the core symptoms of schizophrenia, notably delusions and hallucinations. There is an imperative to assess every patient with schizophrenia for psychiatric comorbidities, as they might masquerade as core psychotic symptoms (e.g.. depression presenting as negative symptoms) and also because they warrant treatment in their own right. This volume addresses these issues using a clinical lens informed by the current literature. We cover nosology, epidemiology and aetiology, but our main foci are clinical aspects such as assessment and treatment. Clinical pointers, summary fact boxes, summary tables and illustrations are used to make the book appealing and reader-friendly"--| Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
