Summary
Psychosis is a core area of practice across all psychiatric sub-specialties, each with its own challenges. This chapter illustrates some of the complexities involved in assessment and treatment of psychosis in general hospital settings. The intersection between schizophrenia and physical health risks is highlighted as a starting point before examining the approach to diagnosis and the range of presentations in different areas of the general hospital. Management of common queries is discussed, taking a bio-psycho-social approach. Finally, legal aspects of treating patients with psychosis are outlined using practical tips.
