Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

216
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:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Delirium is a significant challenge in hospitalized patients across all medical disciplines.
  • Consultation-Liaison (CL) psychiatry frequently receives inquiries regarding delirium management.
  • Existing guidelines recommend standardized, institutional delirium management protocols.

Purpose:

  • To outline practical procedures for delirium management based on current recommendations.
  • To integrate experiences from interdisciplinary delirium management planning.
  • To inform CL psychiatry's role in optimizing delirium care.

Summary:

  • National and international guidelines advocate for standardized, institutional delirium management to minimize risk and prevent delirium.
  • Non-pharmacological interventions are effective; pharmacological treatments require careful consideration.
  • Cognitive deficits post-delirium are a concern, particularly in the elderly. Pathophysiological models inform treatment indications.
  • Effective management includes communication with patients and families, and planning for transitions in care.

Impact:

  • CL services can enhance department-specific, multiprofessional delirium management, including psychopharmacotherapy.
  • Institutional implementation of effective delirium management strategies can improve patient prognosis and quality of life.
