About this course
Assessing emotional health is a vital part of the diagnostic process in behavioural cases but it is also essential in order to determine when emotional health is impacting on physical health presentations
Behavioural medicine is the discipline that deals with the emotional health of our patients and the link with physical disease. Emotional health is equally important to physical health and understanding it needs to be considered as a day one skill for the veterinary profession just as much as it is for human medical professionals. There are a range of normal emotional systems and associated behavioural responses and in order to determine emotional motivation it is important to understand species specific signals and to remember that all behaviour must also be interpreted in context. Assessing emotional health is a vital part of the diagnostic process in behavioural cases but it is also essential in order to determine when emotional health is impacting on physical health presentations.
