Description
A common misconception is that health begins from the neck down. Too often, psychiatry and mental health are perceived to fall outside the scope of primary care, while physical and root causes are often overlooked in psychiatric practice. We feel strongly that our professions of psychiatry and general medicine can do a better job of integrating our services to assist our patients. Drs.’ Mather and Podesta will detail integrative and collaborative methods, as well as discuss the common causes, workup and treatment of various mental health concerns.
