The definitive resource to the signs, symptoms, and patterns of
medical diseases that CAN present as psychological problems This
invaluable reference enables clinicians, as well as patients and
their families, to become more familiar with these medical
conditions and how they may masquerade as mental disorders.Part One
of this book is organized so that it corresponds to the sections of
the Standard Mental Status Exam. It is composed of clinical
presentation descriptions that direct the reader to the medical
diseases described inPart Two that may be contributing to the
patient's discomfort. Without medical jargon, Barbara Schildkrout
lucidly explains how patients with each medical condition may end
up seeking help from a mental health professional. The conditions
explored in this book include: * Alzheimer's disease * Brain tumors
* Carbon monoxide poisoning * Diseases of the thyroid * Endocrine
disorders * Hepatic encephalopathy * HIV/AIDS * Hyperventilation
syndrome * Hypoglycemia * Limbic encephalitis * Lyme disease *
Syphilis * Thiamine deficiency * Traumatic brain injury The book
also describes a proven process for working with patients during
and after the referral process, and integrating medical findings
into ongoing therapeutic work. All mental health professionals need
access to this information, and Masquerading Symptoms puts it all
in a single, easily navigated reference. BARBARA SCHILDKROUT, MD,is
