Family physicians play a pivotal role in the early detection, diagnosis, and management of mental health disorders within the community. This review article delves into the multifaceted responsibilities of family physicians in the realm of mental health care. Emphasizing the importance of primary care settings as the first point of contact for many patients, the article underscores the need for effective screening tools and methodologies tailored for these environments. The diagnostic precision of family physicians, often challenged by the broad spectrum of mental health symptoms, is explored alongside the potential implications of misdiagnoses. Furthermore, the article evaluates various treatment options, from pharmacological interventions to psychotherapy, and their applicability in primary care settings. The integration of technological advancements, such as electronic health records and telemedicine, is also discussed in the context of enhancing patient care. The review concludes by highlighting the importance of educating primary care physicians to not only pay close attention to the mental health of their patients, but also to be able to accurately screen and diagnose mental health issues using various diagnostic tools. Moreover, it is critical to develop more useful tools that can be used in the context of primary care settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
