Track: Psychiatry & Mental Disorders

Early Detection and Screening
Primary care providers (PCPs) are often the first point of
contact for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Tools like
standardized screening questionnaires for depression, anxiety, and substance
use disorders enable early identification and intervention. Integrating these
screenings into routine primary care visits normalizes mental health discussions.
Collaborative Care Models
Collaborative care involves integrating behavioral health
specialists into primary care teams. Psychiatrists, psychologists, and social
workers work alongside PCPs to develop and implement comprehensive treatment
plans, ensuring patients receive timely and holistic care.
Telepsychiatry
Telepsychiatry expands access to mental health services,
particularly in rural and underserved areas. It enables real-time consultations
with mental health specialists, providing diagnosis, therapy, and medication
management remotely.
Treatment Innovations
Advances in psychopharmacology, such as personalized
medication approaches based on genetic testing, improve treatment outcomes for
disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Non-invasive
brain stimulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS), are also gaining traction in treating resistant conditions.
Addressing Stigma and Education
Stigma remains a significant barrier to seeking care for mental
disorders. Public health campaigns, provider training, and community engagement
initiatives aim to reduce stigma and promote mental health literacy.
Prevention and Lifestyle Interventions
Primary care emphasizes prevention, addressing social
determinants of health, promoting healthy lifestyles, and teaching stress
management techniques to reduce the risk of mental disorders.
These strategies ensure psychiatry and mental health care
are accessible, integrated, and patient-focused within the primary healthcare
framework.
