Abstract

The reduction or suspension of psychotropic treatment may be necessary for various medical reasons. This can have serious consequences for patients, including clinical manifestations, both physical and psychological. These manifestations, which are often unpleasant, can compromise care during hospitalization and undermine the therapeutic alliance. Their early detection, readjustment of treatment, when necessary, as well as regular communication with the patient and among specialists are important tips to take into account from caregivers.

La diminution ou mise en suspens d’un traitement psychotrope peut être imposée par des raisons médicales diverses. Cela peut avoir d’importantes conséquences pour les patients, notamment des manifestations cliniques, tant physiques que psychologiques. Elles sont souvent désagréables, peuvent compromettre l’adhésion aux soins lors d’une hospitalisation et mettre à mal le lien thérapeutique. Leur détection précoce, le réajustement du traitement quand nécessaire, ainsi que la communication régulière avec le patient et entre spécialistes sont des éléments importants à prendre en compte lors de ces prises en charge.
