Mental Health Integration in Primary Care

Mental health integration in primary care means connecting mental health services with regular medical care so patients can receive both support seamlessly. It involves doctors, nurses, and mental health professionals working together within the same clinic to identify and treat mental health issues like anxiety or depression early. This approach makes it easier for patients to access mental health care without needing to see a separate specialist, leading to more holistic treatment, improved overall health, and better management of mental and physical conditions.
