MENTAL HEALTH IN PRIMARY CARE. Click here if you are interested in trying out BetterHelp for yourself!  https://betterhelp.com/nurseliz (sponsored) As a Family Nurse Practitioner working in primary care mental health is something that is tightly woven into my practice. In today’s video I share my approaches to how I incorporate the diagnosis, treatment and assessment of anxiety and depression, two of the most common presenting concerns I see in primary care. I’ll also share my own story of postpartum depression that opened my eyes to the reality of living with poor mental health. Finally, I’ll share my tips for how to approach and talk about mental health with patients you may see in your practice.
