Reports to CE Broker
Mental health professionals and allied healthcare workers are often focused on alleviating a patient's presenting symptoms without the benefit of true coordination of care among a team of health professionals. As such, there are times when hidden, yet central, medical illnesses and medication side effects which mimic psychological disorders can go undetected and untreated. To facilitate a more informed diagnostic process and targeted intervention this course will discuss medical illnesses and their associated medication side effects that can "masquerade" as psychological disorders within several relevant disease models such as endocrine disorders, cancer, pulmonary ailments, cerebral/neurologic dysfunction, cardiovascular disorders, sleep disorders, immune system conditions, metabolic disorders, hematologic disorders, vitamin/mineral disorders, and infections. Participants will gain greater insight into these disorders and some of the distinct characteristics which may provide clues to an underlying medical illness and/or to side effects of associated medications, expected or unusual, that may present in your practice as a perceived psychological disorder.
