Depression & Mental Health

You’re focused on the overall health of your patients, so helping them achieve and maintain mental health is a priority. You’ll need resources that address a spectrum of mental health-related issues, from stress to suicidal thoughts, and challenges that vulnerable populations face.

Use AAFP’s emotional well-being resources to recognize signs of depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and more. These include tools to understand teen suicide and depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury in military veterans. An additional AAFP toolkit offers you support to diagnose, treat and manage adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
