The psychiatric emergency service has become a major provider of psychiatric care over the past decade. Concomitant with this growth has been an emphasis on pharmacological treatment. While rapid tranquilization is the best known and most frequently used intervention, a growing diagnostic awareness has led to a variety of other chemotherapeutic approaches. The current reviews of pharmacologic intervention in the psychiatric emergency service do not detail the variability of treatment approaches or examine alternative treatment approaches. The goal of this article is to critically review current pharmacologic treatments and address areas in which there is no consensus in treatment approach. From this review the authors suggest guidelines for pharmacotherapy of psychiatric emergencies. The authors discuss rapid tranquilization, the treatment of alcohol and drug intoxication and withdrawal, and anxiety disorders.

The records of a hospital psychiatric emergency department were reviewed for elderly and middle‐aged patients who were diagnosed with organic brain syndrome (OBS) or psychiatric disorder. These records were then compared with those of elderly patients from the medical emergency department. While elderly medical patients received routine physical evaluations and laboratory testing, elderly psychiatric patients with behavioral symptoms were often referred to psychiatry before they received tests necessary to differentiate physical disorders from functional psychiatric disorders. When tests were administered to psychiatric patients, many abnormal results were apparent, indicating the possible presence of physical disease. It is recommended that all elderly patients with psychiatric symptoms undergo adequate medical evaluations to screen for physical causes of the psychiatric symptoms.

Delirium and dementia frequently pose a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians in the emergency department. The overlap of symptoms between organic brain syndrome and functional psychiatric illness, coupled with a dramatic presentation, often leads to a premature psychiatric diagnosis. In this paper, the authors discuss those symptoms of organic brain syndrome that most frequently generate diagnostic confusion in the emergency department and result in a misdiagnosis of functional illness.
