Dr. Jaspaul S. Bhangoo | Integrating Mental Health Screening into Practice
Incorporating mental health screening into routine internal medicine practice is a proactive approach to identifying and managing mental health concerns. Regular screening allows for early intervention, which can prevent the escalation of mental health issues and improve patient outcomes as highlighted by internists including Dr. Jaspaul S.Bhangoo. Screening should be a standard part of patient assessments, especially for those with chronic conditions or a history of mental health issues.
Healthcare providers can integrate brief,
validated screening tools into their workflow to streamline the process.
Training staff to recognize signs of mental health issues and creating a
supportive environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their mental
health can also enhance screening effectiveness. Early detection and
intervention can significantly improve the prognosis and quality of life for
patients with mental health conditions.
