Bridging the gap between Liaison Psychiatry and Maternity Services

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Liaison psychiatry teams collaborate closely with the surgical and medical departments in general hospitals. Regardless of the apparent reason, patients who present with both physical and mental health challenges are treated by these general hospital mental health teams. Physical and psychological co-morbidities, managing chronic illnesses, self-harm, and coping with illness are just a few of the issues that a liaison psychiatry team faces. Liaison psychiatric services are expected to continue expanding, including in low- and middle-income nations. Furthermore, the services ought to be more comprehensive. When combined with maternity services, these services offer an opportunity to set the standard for mental treatment that recognises all the emotional and clinical needs of mothers to be.
