General practitioners (GPs) play an important role in the early detection and management of mental health issues. They are often the first point of contact for patients experiencing mental health symptoms. By having a good understanding of various mental health disorders, GPs can effectively assess their patients, identify potential issues, and provide appropriate advice or referrals for treatment.
GPs who wish to enhance their expertise in mental health can sign up for the Graduate Diploma in Mental Health (GDMH), a one-year programme jointly developed by IMH and NUS. It is specially tailored to equip GPs with the knowledge and skills required to assess, identify, and manage various mental health disorders as part of holistic patient care.
