Communicating with the Psychologically distressed Patient

"Overall I thought that these cases exemplify the range of psychological problems encountered in primary care and provide a host of useful pointers and tips on how to deal most effectively with these challenging patients"

Professor Roger Jones
Editor: British Journal of General Practice
Emeritus Professor of General Practice, King's College London

​​​Mental health problems are prevalent in primary care; yet they are under-recognized, a fact which leads to significant morbidity and higher service utilization. Knowing that effective communication skills (CS) are of paramount importance in achieving better patient adherence to medication and in turn to health outcomes, acquiring good CS by health professionals is even more important when dealing with mental health patients. This reflects the core and importance of the audiovisual package at hand. The package depicts three different common mental health problems witnessed in primary care. By reviewing the content available, you will be able to examine various CS needed for interviewing psychologically distressed patients.

Objectives
  • Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively with patients with psychological distress.
  • Recognize nonverbal clues and somatic complaints that help in diagnosing mental health problems accurately.
  • Adopt the bio-psycho-social model.
  • Use the 5As strategy in behavioral interventions.
  • Explain to patients the brain-body relationship and its effect on mental health diseases.​
