The Importance of Screening Medical Patients for Behavioral Health Issues

First few Article Sentences

People seeking medical treatment in hospitals, healthcare clinics and in primary care settings often have behavioral health needs that are inadequately addressed. Discussing behavioral health issues in medical settings can ensure that patients are receiving proper care that addresses psychological conditions which may be interfering with medical interventions and treatment. Proper screening of a patient’s potential behavioral health needs may generate appropriate referrals to behavioral health specialists, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors, when necessary to ensure that all of their needs are being addressed in a more interdisciplinary fashion.
