Companion to Primary Care Mental Health is the result of a major
collaboration of an international group of general practitioners,
psychiatrists, policy-makers, mental health professionals and
mental health advocates. This extraordinary guide provides the best
available evidence for the management of patients with mental
health conditions in primary care. It draws on the wisdom of a
range of experts from primary and secondary care, who have
translated information from the literature and their own clinical
experience to apply it across the globe to everyday family
practice. With the emphasis on practical application it presents
family doctors and their teams with the evidence-based knowledge
necessary to support the development of fully integrated systems to
promote good mental health using tables and figures to illustrate
complex matters. This includes the need to harness the wider
determinants of health and mental health and to tackle stigma
through advocacy, spirituality and ethical practice. The role of
public health and the management of the many interfaces associated
with providing good mental health are also covered. It includes
tools for assessment, including classification and risk assessment,
and the general principles required to enable a biopsychosocial
approach to care. The book also considers the individual mental
health conditions that family doctors and their teams are likely to
encounter. As comorbidity and the management of complexity are very
common in primary care mental health, these are also explored in
the final chapters of the book.
