Depression in General Medical Setting: General guidelines on biological treatments
One of the most frequent mental health issues seen in primary care is depression, which is also a major contributor to disability globally. Depression is most effectively treated as a chronic illness since it is frequently a recurrent or chronic condition. Additionally, patients with depressive disorders who are medically unwell are more likely to experience chronic depression or less full recovery. Many, if not most, depressed people can benefit from antidepressant drugs and psychotherapies, but millions of patients in primary care do not receive adequate treatment. A systematic, population-based approach is necessary for the effective management of depression in the primary care setting. This approach includes systematic case finding and diagnosis, patient engagement and education, use of evidence-based treatments, such as medications and/or psychotherapy, and close follow-up to ensure that patients are receiving the care they need.
Role of Behavior Counselling in Mental Health
Behavioral therapy is an umbrella term for types of therapy that treat mental health disorders. This form of therapy looks to identify and help change potentially self-destructive or unhealthy behaviors. It’s based on the idea that all behaviors are learned and that behaviors can be changed. The focus of treatment is often on current problems and how to change them. I Treatment is centered around how your thoughts and beliefs influence your actions and moods. It often focuses on your current problems and how to solve them. The long-term goal is to build thinking and behavioral patterns that help you achieve a better quality of life.
