Abstract:
When evaluating the eligibility of a patient for organ transplantation, psychiatric conditions possibly having a detrimental effect on the patient's prognosis should be recognized and treated in addition to somatic illnesses. Mood and anxiety disorders are often accompanied by poor general compliance. Even profound psychiatric disturbances or psychosocial problems nowadays seldom impede the enrollment of the patient to the waiting list. Psychiatric examination of the living organ donor is also always advisable before the operation.
