title: Management of nonpsychiatric medical conditions presenting with psychiatric manifestations.
abstract: There is a significant dilemma when underlying medical disorders present as psychiatric conditions. It is important to identify the medical condition because treatment and management strategies need to be directed to the presenting symptoms and also to the underlying medical condition for successful treatment of the patient. Some systemic disorders present with psychiatric manifestations more often than others. The pattern of psychiatric disturbance seen may be specific for a particular medical disorder but may also be varied. Many drug formulations and medications also may produce psychiatric presentations. This article considers the management of nonpsychiatric medical conditions presenting with psychiatric manifestations.
