Kurzfassung:
Many patients who come to the emergency department suffer from pre-existing psychiatric pathologies, or have a symptomatology suggestive of a psychiatric pathology. Indeed, psychiatric disorders affect one adult in four and 75% of psychiatric disorders begin before the age of 25 years. The care pathway of an adult patient with a psychiatric presentation in emergency facilities involves multiple stakeholders. The inherent complexity of these complex patients, as well as the interdisciplinary nature of their care, requires a clear and consensual framework for care. Experts in psychiatry, geronto-psychiatry and emergency medicine have come together to produce these recommendations for good practice. The choice to present good practice recommendations rather than formalized expert recommendations was made in view of the lack of literature with a high level of evidence in certain areas and the existence of controversies. Through these recommendations of good clinical practice, they have endeavoured to describe the management of these patients both in the pre-hospital and in the in-hospital setting. The objectives of these recommendations are to present the essential elements for the organization of the care of these patients, the management of agitation as well as the pharmacological or non-pharmacological management. A specific part is devoted to the regulatory aspects.
