Abstract:
The prevalence of behavioural disorders is high among patients admitted to urban Accident and Emergency Departments. These disorders are not necessarily related to the reason for consultation and emergency physicians (EP) should be able to detect these patients and refer them to a psychiatrist when required. On the other hand, the frequent comorbid somatic disorders among patients attending an emergency psychiatric unit should raise concern from psychiatrists and prompt the need for EP advice. Due to the complex relationship between somatic and psychiatric disorders, a close collaboration between psychiatrists and EPs is crucial for efficient and patient care, as well as developing teaching and research.
