We understand the balance between mental and physical health and the importance of an interdisciplinary team approach. Mental health professionals play a pivotal role in assessing and treating psychological disorders and psychiatric illnesses, such as anxiety and depression. Psychologists, social workers, counselors, and family therapists are also influential in promoting emotional and physical health among patients facing medical illness - whether primary or secondary to the psychological symptoms.  For example, mental health providers can help in the adjustment to disease along the care continuum — prevention, detection, treatment, survivorship, chronic disease management, palliative care and end-of-life issues — as well as across the disease spectrum — cancer, diabetes, HIV, Lupus, Alzheimer's, dementia, cardiovascular disease, MS, spinal cord injury, infertility, or the medical sequelae of eating disorders, just to cite a few.
