Psychiatry in primary care

On the front lines of mental health care

Primary care health professionals are on the front lines in providing mental health care in Canada. Yet their efforts to meet the needs of their patients are constrained by numerous factors: time, knowledge, skills, supports and access to specialized referral. And the stigma that persists around mental illness can limit both patient disclosure and physician inquiry.

A practical resource for providers

Psychiatry in Primary Care is intended to meet some of those needs in a practical and actionable way. It minimizes dry information about etiology and pathogenesis to focus on what primary care health professionals can:

ask,

do,

and recommend.
