Depression in patients with medical conditionJunaid Saleem
Depression is commonly co-morbid with chronic medical disorders and worsens their outcomes. It decreases quality of life, functional ability, and adherence to medical treatment. It is also associated with worse health behaviors and increased medical costs. Depression independently increases mortality in conditions like diabetes, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Early identification and treatment of depression in medically ill patients can improve their quality of life and physical health outcomes. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have shown benefits in reducing depressive symptoms and improving cardiac outcomes in patients with heart disease.

Mental Health Policy - Substance Abuse and Co-Occurring ConditionsDr. James Swartz
These slides are from a mental health policy lecture that focuses on substance use disorders and their relationship to mental health issues. The latter half of the lecture is devoted to discussing key points in the history of drug policy in the US and is based on information from the related text: Substance Abuse in America: A Documentary and Reference Guide
Substance abuse disorders are now classified as mental disorders according to the DSM-5. Addiction changes the brain in fundamental ways and causes compulsive drug-seeking behaviors that override the ability to control impulses. Approximately 21.5 million Americans had a substance use disorder in the past year, including alcohol and illicit drugs. Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are common, with 7.9 million people having both in the past year. Integrated treatment that addresses both disorders together is most effective for those with co-occurring disorders.
This document discusses dual diagnosis, which refers to co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. It provides definitions of dual diagnosis from medical taxonomy and from Williams, who describes four types: primary mental illness leading to substance use; primary substance use leading to psychiatric issues; dual primary diagnoses occurring simultaneously; and common etiological factors leading to both. The document analyzes four case studies according to Williams' definitions and provides recommendations for practitioners, including engagement, assessment, avoiding assumptions, optimism, harm reduction, information sharing, and multi-agency collaboration.

Nearly half of the world's population is affected by mental illness which impacts self-esteem, relationships and ability to function. Good mental health allows one to realize their abilities and cope with stress, while poor mental health prevents a normal life. Mental health involves well-being and functioning well, while mental illness affects thinking, feelings and behavior. Risk factors for mental disorders include genetics, age, toxins, infections, and family/social problems. Both physical and mental health problems interact and influence each other. Prevention strategies target promotion, early intervention, treatment and social support/rehabilitation.
This document defines key concepts related to health, illness, and disease. It explains that health involves complete physical, mental and social well-being, while illness is a unique personal response and disease is a pathological change in the body. Illnesses can be acute or chronic. The five stages of illness are also outlined: symptom experience, assumption of a sick role, medical care contact, dependent client role, and recovery. Basic human needs and factors affecting health are discussed, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Risk factors for illness and general health maintenance activities are also listed.
Dr. Anuj Singh discusses the various determinants of health, which are factors that influence health outcomes. The main determinants are biological, environmental, lifestyle, socio-economic conditions, health services, aging population, and gender. Biological determinants refer to genetic factors. Environmental determinants include housing, water, and psychosocial stress. Lifestyle factors like smoking and alcohol consumption impact health. Socio-economic conditions such as education level, economic status, and occupation also determine health. Adequate health services, the aging population, and gender are other important determinants. Overall, Dr. Singh emphasizes that health has multiple influencing factors and is not simply the absence of disease.

This document provides an overview of community medicine, including its goals, concepts, and differences from clinical medicine. The three main goals of community medicine are primary prevention to prevent disease occurrence, secondary prevention for early disease detection and control, and tertiary prevention dealing with complications. Community medicine focuses on populations rather than individuals, uses epidemiological studies and statistics, and aims to promote health and prevent disease through public health programs. Key factors that determine health are both personal factors like genetics and behaviors, as well as environmental factors including the physical, biological, and social environment.

Primary Care and Behavioral Health Integration – Leveraging psychologists’ ro...Michael Changaris
Background and Importance: Violence stands as a significant cause of death in the United States, contributing to various health and mental health issues. The role of psychologists has evolved into an essential component of healthcare.
Despite a decrease over several decades, rates of violence have begun to rise again. However, the prevailing approach often focuses on managing the aftermath of violence rather than tackling its underlying causes. Each community possesses its own distinct profile of factors that either elevate or mitigate the risk of violence.
Primary Care Behavioral Health Integration presents a broadly applicable method for preventing violence, offering a hyper-local approach that targets the specific health needs of individuals, families, and communities. By adapting established evidence-based strategies for healthcare improvement, primary prevention can significantly reduce violence.
Methods and Description: This presentation will provide practical tools and general measures to effectively merge behavioral healthcare with primary care systems, fostering violence reduction at the levels of the community, healthcare facility, and healthcare providers. The implementation of universal precautions for violence reduction will be outlined, along with a structured approach to establish violence reduction advocates and teams. These teams will be equipped to assess the unique local risks, manifestations, and impacts of violence within the community they serve.
Outcomes: Through the incorporation of a 7-factor violence risk reduction strategy within primary care behavioral health, collaborative multidisciplinary teams can effectively diminish instances of interpersonal, individual, and community violence. The application of the "four Ts" model (Training, Triage, Treatment, Team Care) empowers primary care clinicians and integrated healthcare settings to enhance individual clinical outcomes, overall clinic population health, and actively champion community-wide violence reduction.

Safety: Medication safety changes as we age. Older adults are are not just young adults with added years. Their bodies, brains, since of self and social systems have changed.
Efficacy: Aging changes medication efficacy. Medications are involved in two main effects. These are the effect of the medication on the body (pharmacokinetics) and the effect of the body on the medication (pharmacodynamics). These are both changed as people age.
