Alcohol-related Psychiatric Emergencies: Their Characteristics and Care at a Walk-in Clinic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
Fifty cases attending a walk-in psychiatric emergency clinic with alcohol-related problems were studied retrospectively. Results confirm that this group represents a sizeable load on the clinic – about 15% of all assessments. Other psychiatric problems were common, and many patients had recently attempted or threatened suicide.
