Behavioral Health Information for HIP Primary Care Physicians

Behavioral Health Information for HIP Primary Care Physicians was designed to serve as a quick overview as well as a handy reference manual for behavioral health conditions commonly seen in primary care. Each chapter focuses on a specific condition and contains a clinical overview, facts about the condition, information on identification and diagnosis, available treatment options, and insights to the condition's presentation in special populations, such as children and the elderly. In addition, this book contains a list of HIP's behavioral health programs, information on making referrals, and appendices with information on prescribing antidepressant medication, reproducible patient education handouts, and HIP clinical practice guidelines.
