To our families. . .
Patients commonly present mental health problems in primary care, but general practitioners and other primary health care professionals are often uncertain how best to diagnose and manage them. We are aware that presentations of mental illness are seldom straightforward, and we can often find it confusing to unravel the psychological dimensions of physical symptoms. Many of us are worried about the dangers of getting a diagnosis wrong: whether, on the one hand, we will unnecessarily or harmfully label people as mentally unwell when they are experiencing normal responses to the difficulties of daily life; or, on the other hand, whether we will fail to identify potentially serious problems such as schizophrenia or psychotic depression. And the crucial business of assessing clinical risk, especially with regard to suicidality, is frequently noted as a major concern amongst family doctors worldwide.
Fortunately, help is at hand.
Written by three senior and well‐respected Irish clinical academics, with expertise in psychiatry and primary care, Psychiatry Algorithms for Primary Care addresses the wide variety of mental health problems commonly encountered in primary care. Starting with the essentials of history taking and mental state examination, the authors take us through the major psychiatric diagnoses before focusing helpfully not only on common presentations, such as insomnia, unexplained physical symptoms, and fatigue, but also on complex presentations such as self‐harm, suicide, and aggression.
The book is specifically intended to assist the busy general practitioner who needs information and clinical advice delivered in a concise and accessible format. For each of the topics under discussion we are provided with pertinent, succinct, pragmatic algorithms setting out key facts and key actions, which cover what to say as well as what to do. There is clear guidance on what we general practitioners can reasonably be expected to do ourselves, and on the points at which we should consider involving our specialist colleagues.
This book is an invaluable aide‐memoire for experienced general practitioners, as well as a highly relevant guide for general practitioners in training. The authors have deliberately – and successfully – designed it for use in real‐time clinical encounters, when immediate support is needed.
I will be keeping a copy in my consulting room!
