Psychiatric aspects of physical complaints
Can Fam Physician.
1988 Feb.
Abstract
The physician may find it difficult to diagnose patients who present with a psychiatric illness that has physical symptoms, or those who have a physical illness that is accompanied by changes in behaviour or mood. In this paper the author sets out guidelines for investigating and diagnosing both types of patients.
