    Family Physician Support for a Family with a Mentally Ill Member

    J. LeBron McBride

    Background A mental health professional and educator asserts that family physicians are positioned to intervene in powerful ways to support mentally ill patients and their families because of the specialty's family systems orientation.

    What This Study Found Even though family physicians do not manage severe mental illness, they may manage the physical care of the patient and family members and play a major role in their psychological support, helping them to access available resources and offering compassion and coping strategies.
