Liaison Psychiatry
Liaison psychiatry, also known as consultation-liaison psychiatry, focuses on the interface between mental and physical health. Prof. George Tadros has spent years refining the integration of psychiatric care into general medical settings such as hospitals and emergency departments. He works closely with other physicians to evaluate and manage psychiatric symptoms in medically ill patients, ensuring that no aspect of care is overlooked. Liaison psychiatry is especially crucial in complex cases where psychological distress is secondary to physical illness or hospitalization. By delivering timely and sensitive psychiatric interventions in hospital environments, Prof. Tadros helps reduce patient suffering, improves treatment compliance, and facilitates faster recovery. His approach is collaborative, often involving multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless continuity of care. From managing delirium and depression in the medically unwell to assisting with decision-making capacity, liaison psychiatry provides a bridge between mind and body that improves overall healthcare outcomes.
