Resumen

La prevalencia de problemas de salud mental en la población general durante una calamidad pública es alta. En las calamidades, el número de pacientes que presentan brotes o crisis de trastornos mentales puede aumentar, pero los sistemas de apoyo necesarios para ayudarlos pueden verse afectados si no se han planificado para ello. Aunque existen varios modelos para abordar las emergencias psiquiátricas, las reglas generales son las mismas, especialmente cuando se trata de hacer que estos servicios estén fácilmente disponibles para la población afectada. En este artículo buscamos revisar y presentar recomendaciones para el manejo de emergencias psiquiátricas en situaciones de calamidades públicas, incluidos desastres, catástrofes físicas y médicas, epidemias y pandemias.
