Summary

Some doctors welcome therapist input. Others don’t. As a social worker, Melissa Adams, LICSW, believes whole-person care means looking at clients from a systems perspective, not just a medical one, and empowering patients to advocate for their mental health when talking to their doctors. She asks you: how do you make mental health a priority in whole-person care?
