- Good question! Simply put, comorbidity is a condition where two or more disorders are present in an individual.
- I am certain that our viewers are as informed as I am now, but for clarity sake can we have an example? After that we'll begin taking questions from the audience.
- MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTHVIEW
- Would the disorders have to be mental or physical ONLY, or can they be a mixture of both? to be classified as comorbidity.
- Live with Dr. Lisset PickensNOW
- The co-occurrence of the disorders can be physical ONLY, mental ONLY or a mixture of both.

- Okay, so riding off of that question asked by the lady in the audience, can you briefly discuss the types of disorders treated with psychotropic drugs?
- MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTHVIEW
- Live with Dr. Lisset PickensNOW
- I sure can!
-
- Psychotropic drugs that are commonly prescribed to treat patients with mental illnesses are antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines and anticholinergic drugs.
- What about behavioural disorders? Are they not treated with psychotropic medications?
- MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTHVIEW
- Live with Dr. Lisset PickensNOW
-
- Disorders that are usually treated with psychotropic drugs include mood disorders, schizophrenia and its counterparts, and anxiety disorders.
- Behavioural disorders are usually treated with various types of therapy. Medication should be a last resort, and to be clear, it does not treat the disorder, it is intended to reduce symptoms.
- Well folks, we have come to the end of today's show. We discussed some important aspects of mental and physical health and our discussions were very productive. Thank you for accepting our invitation Dr. Pickens.
