The Mental Health Tsunami: Are GPs the Unsung Heroes of Post-COVID Healthcare?

Listen Later

In this episode of MedHeads, we explore how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the mental health landscape, pushing GPs to the forefront as first responders for a growing mental health crisis. With psychologists and psychiatrists overwhelmed, GPs are now managing up to 50% of consultations for mental health concerns.

Join us as we discuss:

  • The toll this is taking on GPs and patients
  • The critical role of collaborative care models
  • Digital health innovations and systemic solutions
  • The way forward for a more resilient healthcare system

    • Whether you're a healthcare professional, policymaker, or simply someone invested in the future of mental health care, this episode is for you.
