[Research advances on mental disorders in patients with extensive burns].

Abstract

Extensive burns can cause nonnegligible acute and chronic damage to central nervous system of patients. The damage of central nervous system may have a profound impact on patients, including neurobehavioral changes such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorder. These changes may persist after injury, greatly affecting patients' integration into society and return to work. This paper systematically reviewed the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and current intervention methods of mental disorders in patients with extensive burns, aiming to provide a basis for further understanding, prevention, and treatment of patients with mental disorders after burns.
