ABSTRACT

Psychiatric emergencies have steadily increased in recent years, but they are still poorly defined and studied, especially in developmental age and outside the Emergency Department context.
This retrospective cross-sectional study aims to analyse characteristics of a clinical sample under the light of psychiatric urgency and emergency concepts.
Both the “urgency” and “emergency” concepts and the Rosenn & Gail’s severity classification were applied to 399 first inspection forms to describe different conditions at the arrival.
About half of the cases corresponded to urgency/ emergency conditions, with a male gender prevalence and an average age of 10 y. Emergency was associated to Behavioural Disorders mainly, while urgency conditions were associated to Somatic sphere Disorders, Self- injured Behaviours, Anxious -Affective Disorders.
This research, operating a differentiation between urgency and emergency, allows a clearer identification and a tailored therapeutic plan about cases that are similar on a symptomatic side but different by a psychopathological perspective.
Keywords: Urgency, Emergency, Rosenn and Gail’s classification, Psychiatric Disorders, Children, Adolescents.
