What do we know about Integrated Mental Health?
- Research has shown that having depression can affect other physical illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, HIV, and heart disease.
- The collaborative family healthcare model envisions seamless collaboration between psychosocial, biomedical, nursing, and other healthcare providers, and views patient, family, community, and provider systems as equal participants in the healthcare process.
- Integrated care helps to diminish duplicity of care
- Integrated care improves the quality of life for patients
A multidisciplinary approach helps a patient to benefit from the expertise of multiple providers across a variety of disciplines caring for them in one place. This helps with missed appointments and scheduling challenges. The ultimate goal is to ensure the overall well-being of the patient. Kargman Center has embraced this concept and continues to endeavor to improve total patient care through our behavioral health in Dundalk, Maryland.
What We Do
After meeting with the Behavioral Health team, for some patients and their families, an in-office consultation is all they need. For others, a referral to another resource is the next step. We have a broad range of support systems including counseling, support groups, cessation resources. Some patients can also benefit from psychiatrists reviewing their medications in collaboration with their primary care provider and more.
