Healthcare, Mental Health, & Chronic Illnesses
What are the mental health and healthcare gaps or frequently asked questions I have noticed as a bc clinical counsellor?
there has been an increase in chronic illnesses. 2.lack of understanding of the intersectionality of chronic illness and mental health. This can be seen through the lack of mental health providers that treat chronic illnesses. 3. As well as a lack of doctors who refer to mental health support
This gap can be seen through the general understanding, of how mental health impacts chronic illnesses. And could be solved with more education on mental health in medical programs. As well as aided through the way we speak about mental health with patients that hold chronic illness diagnoses.
