Psychiatrists ‘excluding’ families when treating patients
Speaking at the annual Irish Association of Suicidology (IAS) conference, president of the IAS Dan Neville, Fine Gael TD for Limerick, said too often he has encountered families who are extremely stressed due to lack of information on the treatment regime.
Mr Neville said while patient confidentially is frequently quoted as the reason, professionals must recognise that family involvement is key to the recovery process.
