摘要
The first 60 psychiatric consultations provided to a university-affiliated teaching nursing home are reviewed. All patients seen had a diagnosable mental disorder, and over 40% suffered from major affective illness. Consultation resulted in a critical change in diagnosis and management in more than one-third of patients. The authors discuss the benefits and drawbacks of psychiatric consultation for nursing home patients, staff physicians, and the psychiatrists themselves. © 2011, The Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine.
