Outpatient & telepsychiatry
Longitudinal management, treatment-resistant cases, careful sequencing, adherence, between-visit risk.
Addiction, detox, rehab & residential
Dual diagnosis, withdrawal protocols, polypharmacy in complex panels, refusal-of-care documentation.
Consultation-liaison psychiatry
Delirium versus primary psychiatric illness, psychotropics in medically fragile patients, capacity, organ-dysfunction risk.
