Your family physician is trained in the evaluation and management of many common mental illnesses. They are able to diagnose and treat conditions such as Depression, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder, Mood Disorders, Chemical Dependency, Addictions and Adjustment Discorders with both medication and collaboration with other mental health providers.
Many of our offices have a therapist from Midwest Center for Personal and Family Development on site on a regular basis. Their availablity makes it much simpler to arrange counseling for those who seek it. In addition, all of our offices will be participating in the DIAMOND program, a collaborative effort aimed at improving care for patients with depression. Patients work with their primary provider, along with a care manager and a consulting psychiatrist. This approach to depression care has been shown in multiple studies to yield significantly better improvement in results than usual care.
