Treating Behavioral Health

Family Physicians Important Role in Behavioral Health Care

At least one in every five adults suffers from mental illness each year. In addition, patients living with serious mental illness face an increased risk for chronic health conditions and a shorter life span.  Family Physicians have a long-term unique relationship with their patients, which make it easier for them to discuss and answer honestly about their mental state.
