dc.description.abstract | Hospice care is rarely used in end-stage psychiatric patients, yet situations exist where psychiatric intervention is futile and comfort care is the best option. Delusional disorder is rare, typically begins later in life, and has a chronic course that responds poorly to treatment. The prognosis is affected by factors such as chronicity and insight. A case of a chronic and intractable delusional disorder that affected eating behavior and subsequently caused serious medical complications. Due to the severity of the case and the unique ethical issues it presented, the prognosis was determined to be poor and the patient was discharged home with hospice care. The case presented a rare opportunity to assess hospice care provided to an end-stage psychiatric patient. | en_US |
