Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

662
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Digital Health Ethics
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • The internet's pervasive influence contrasts with healthcare professionals' apprehension towards its use.
  • Research and regulatory focus often emphasize risks (e.g., confidentiality breaches) over benefits in clinical settings.
  • Existing literature extensively covers areas like email, social media, and telepsychiatry, but neglects online patient information seeking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the under-researched issue of physicians searching for patient information online.
  • To explore the clinical scenarios prompting the question: "Should I Google the patient?"
  • To identify key questions for future research in this domain.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of clinical scenarios.
  • Literature review focusing on online patient information seeking by physicians.
  • Ethical considerations of internet use in patient care.

Main Results:

  • Physicians' anxiety regarding internet use in practice is noted.
  • A significant gap exists in research and guidance concerning physicians "Googling" patients.
  • Clinical examples illustrate the complex situations where this query arises.

Conclusions:

  • The practice of physicians searching for patient information online presents unique ethical challenges.
  • Further research is crucial to develop evidence-based guidelines for navigating this aspect of digital healthcare.
  • Understanding physician behavior and patient implications is essential for responsible internet integration in medicine.
