T2  - Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care: Behavioral Health in the Medical Setting
AB  - We  consider  psychotic  disorders  to  reside  primarily  in  the  domain  of  psychiatry.  But  primary  care  and  other  medical  physicians  almost  always  see  these  patients  at  some  early  point  during  their  illness  journey  and  can  play  a  significant  role  in  their  care.  By  recognizing  that  your  patient  may  have  a  psychotic  disorder—or  be  in  the  process  of  developing  one—early  referral  is  possible.  The  duration  of  untreated  psychosis  is  directly  related  to  time  to  recovery.1  Hence,  primary  care  physicians  play  a  pivotal  role  in  reducing  the  duration  of  untreated  psychosis  and  modifying  long-term  outcome.2,3  Also,  you  can  play  a  key  role  in  co-managing,  with  a  psychiatrist,  patients’  often  very  prominent  medical  problems.
