Biography: Dheeraj Chaudhary
Abstract
There is little research evidence reviewing depression in psychotic disorders. The symptoms can range from mild moodiness to severe depression and suicidal behaviours. It can be a diagnostic challenge in delineating depression from negative symptoms in psychotic disorders. Equally in clinical practice the treatment can be particularly problematic.
This presentation will look at the current understanding of the psychopathology, diagnostic concepts and treatment methodologies of depression in psychiatric disorders.
