Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry

Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a specialized field where psychiatrists work alongside other medical professionals to address the mental health needs of patients with complex medical conditions. When someone is hospitalized for a physical illness, they might also experience psychological issues, such as anxiety or depression. Consultation-liaison psychiatrists evaluate and treat these mental health concerns while collaborating with other doctors to ensure comprehensive care. Their goal is to improve overall patient well-being by addressing both physical and mental health aspects, ultimately leading to better outcomes in treatment and recovery.
