This book focuses on how to formulate a mental health response with
respect to the unique elements of pandemic outbreaks. Unlike other
disaster psychiatry books that isolate aspects of an emergency,
this book unifies the clinical aspects of disaster and
psychosomatic psychiatry with infectious disease responses at the
various levels, making it an excellent resource for tackling each
stage of a crisis quickly and thoroughly. The book begins by
contextualizing the issues with a historical and infectious disease
overview of pandemics ranging from the Spanish flu of 1918, the HIV
epidemic, Ebola, Zika, and many other outbreaks. The text
acknowledges the new infectious disease challenges presented by
climate changes and considers how to implement systems to prepare
for these issues from an infection and social psyche perspective.
The text then delves into the mental health aspects of these
crises, including community and cultural responses, emotional
epidemiology, and mental health concerns in the aftermath of a
disaster. Finally, the text considers medical responses to
situation-specific trauma, including quarantine and
isolation-associated trauma, the mental health aspects of
immunization and vaccination, survivor mental health, and support
for healthcare personnel, thereby providing guidance for some of
the most alarming trends facing the medical community. Written by
experts in the field, Psychiatry of Pandemics is an excellent
resource for infectious disease specialists, psychiatrists,
psychologists, immunologists, hospitalists, public health
officials, nurses, and medical professionals who may work patients
in an infectious disease outbreak.
