THE NEEDS OF MENTAL PATIENTS II. Defects of Vegetative and Reflex Function (As Reflected by Disturbances of the Nervous System)
Abstract
All of this presentation emphasizes that each psychotic patient needs a complete organic evaluation with detailed history, general physical and neurological examinations, blood and urine studies and metabolic study. X-ray of the head with electroencephalogram, air encephalogram or ventriculogram, and perhaps angiogram, are all studies to which the patient is entitled if any of the history or physical examination gives a lead to indications of organic disease of the brain.
