Associate Medical Director and Internist, CareMount Medical
Physicians Practice® spoke with Dr. Anisha Abraham, author of the book "Raising Global Teens: A Practical Handbook for Parenting in the 21st Century", about signs that a patient may be at risk of suicide and self-harm as well as interventions and communication methods physicians can employ in the clinical setting.
This week on Perspectives, Dr. Caroline DeFilippo, MD, MPH, FACP of CareMount Medical in New York, explains how physicians can grow more comfortable with these conversations and when they should consider having them with their patients.
We must prioritize and improve our ability to discuss end-of-life issues with patients, especially as America’s aging population continues to increase and affect the healthcare system.
