Palliative Care for Psychiatry & Neurological Disorders

Palliative care is a way to deal with the care of patients and families confronting progressive and chronic diseases that focuses on the relief of suffering due to physical symptoms, psychosocial issues, and spiritual distress. Psychiatry and palliative care share a common ground: both disciplines have evolved historically from internal medicine, are grounded in the bio psychosocial model and normally work inside multi professional teams. Researcher suggested that traditional models of palliative care don't adequately address the unique needs of patients and family members living with a neurologic diagnosis. Overall, collaboration between the fields of psychiatry and palliative care has developed fundamentally in most developed nations over the last two decades and is habitually practised under the rubric of palliative care psychiatry or psycho-oncology.
