Often times the patient will not be at the crisis stage and the interventions used are to prevent the patient from reaching that stage. The following are suggestions for management:

•  Obtain mental health consultation or refer to specialist.

•  Limit access to potentially harmful quantities of medications that can be lethal in overdose.

•  Maintain frequent contact with and closely observe the patient.

•  Avoid having the patient spend long periods of time alone.

•  Mobilize support for the patient.

•  Carefully assess the patient's psychological responses at each crisis point over the course of the disease.
