Primary Care-Psychiatry Collaborative

Primary Care-Psychiatry Collaboration involves healthcare providers working closely together to address both physical and mental health needs within a primary care setting. This approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care, with mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or stress managed alongside physical health conditions. The collaboration can include shared treatment plans, regular communication, and coordinated care strategies between primary care doctors and mental health specialists. It aims to improve patient outcomes by providing timely, integrated support, reducing stigma, and making mental health services more accessible within general healthcare environments.
