How can you offer clarity for your clients with psychosis? Use differential diagnosis to unravel the causes and treatment options for their symptoms.
Full Description:
Differential diagnosis of psychotic symptoms can be difficult, even for the most experienced clinician. However, research and medical science have demonstrated that psychiatric-related psychosis is often different from that presented by substance withdrawal, substance intoxication, delirium and other organic or medical causes.
This webinar will explore first rank or positive psychotic symptoms and their most frequent etiology. Participants will learn to recognize the differences between hallucinations and illusions, evaluate the role of speech and thought processes and diagnosis, and explain the diagnostic implications of various types of delusions. The webinar will conclude with the signs and symptoms of delirium, and when to make medical referrals.
Course Includes:
Live Q&A
Presentation Handout
Post session recording access
CE Credit
What You Will Learn:
Recall the likely etiology of visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory and gustatory hallucinations
Differentiate between hallucinations and illusions
Analyze the diagnostic implications of different types of delusions
Determine the type of diagnosis based on various speech and thought processes
Recognize symptoms of delirium and the need for medical referral
