General Hospital Psychiatry

General Hospital Psychiatry explores the connections between psychiatry, clinical neurosciences, and the rest of medicine throughout the healthcare system. In emphasizing a biopsychosocial approach that brings together the brain, mind, and body, the journal seeks to advance knowledge and scholarship in all aspects of psychiatric care benefiting patients with acute and/or chronic medical-surgical conditions.

General Hospital Psychiatry encourages original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, and invited reviews and commentaries, on (though not limited to) the following content areas:

• Diseases and disorders of relevance to psychiatry in general hospital settings, such as delirium, catatonia, depression, trauma and stress-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and suicidality

• Epidemiology of, and interventions addressing, psychiatric, substance use and medical comorbidity and multi-morbidity in inpatient and outpatient medical care settings

• Increasing understanding in the diagnosis of, and interventions for, neuropsychiatric diseases and disorders across the lifespan, including neurocognitive disorders, sequelae of traumatic brain injuries, movement disorders and functional neurological disorder

• Novel diagnostic methods and interventions for psychiatric and medical comorbidity that embrace advances in clinical neurosciences, such as the utilization of quantifiable biomarkers, neuroimaging and neuromodulation

• The role of psychiatry in the care of women going through pregnancy and menopause

• The complexities of psychopharmacology in the medically ill patient

• Advances in health services approaches that improve mental health and well-being across health care systems
