If Mental Health is as Important as Physical Health, Why don’t we do a yearly mental health screening, along with our blood tests?…
Something to ponder on isn’t it? …
Our general physicians often ask us, if our yearly physical is due or wishes to take a specialists’ opinion; at the drop of a hat, without hesitation, scribble a list of tests or the names of another specialized doctor, onto their pads, and off we go!- no stigma, no questions asked.
On the other hand, in the rare case that the physician utters the words “Psychiatrist/ Psychologist” why do we break into a sweat! The room fills with awkwardness, we worry about the cost per session, we get colder and colder until we feel frozen; and of course doubt our sanity, without asking the reason for this referral.
The list of blood tests or specialists’ opinion were also meant to screen and rule out a number of probable problems, to understand the cause and thus, be able to treat it! That’s exactly what the referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist is for. We are specialists in the field of mental health!
