The Usefulness of Collaborative Care

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 4/1/1412:00 PM

Many patients with mental health issues go to their primary care doctor either because they assume their symptoms are medical or simply because it is their only doctor. However, primary care doctors are not trained in mental healthcare and do not have the necessary time to address mental health concerns.

How would you feel if a mental health professional came to chat with you while you were sitting in the doctor’s office? Would it remove some of the stigma of calling a shrink? After all, you didn’t seek out this mental health professional. You did not even have to make an appointment to see them.
