1655-Lek6PSCHP-J
Tutorials are aimed at acquiring practical skills in the following areas: assessment of the patient's mental state, proper interviewing of the patient in order to make a diagnosis, differentiation of individual mental disorders and organic disorders by using various methods such as neuroimaging, laboratory tests and EEG. Students improve their skills in the pharmacological treatment of individual mental disorders, the use of psychotherapy and other treatment methods, e.g. electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Students practically improve the management of emergencies related to mental disorders such as: suicidal behavior, aggressive behavior and other threatening situations, acute psychotic disorders, anxiety panic syndromes and urgent complications of psychopharmacology.
