Area of Science:

Background:

  • Psychotic disorders are less common than mood and anxiety disorders in primary care but cause significant patient suffering.
  • Primary care physicians face growing responsibility for managing patients with psychotic symptoms within managed care systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a diagnostic and treatment strategy for primary care practitioners managing patients presenting with psychotic symptoms.
  • To guide physicians in differentiating primary psychotic disorders from symptoms with medical, substance-induced, or mood-related origins.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines relevant to primary care settings.
  • Emphasis on differential diagnosis to rule out organic and mood-related causes of psychosis.

Main Results:
