Studies have demonstrated that up to 45% of adult patients and up to 40% of pediatric patietnes have undiagnosed mental illness. Undiagnosed mental illness impairs the evaluation and treatment of many medical disorders. Primary care is the front door to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illness. This course will discuss the means to identify patients with mental illness, impact on their medical disorders and appropriate treatment. The course will feature common and uncommon mental illness that present to primary care.
