    BURDEN OF MENTAL DISORDERS IN PRIMARY CARE

    Mental disorders are common, and are associated with poor outcomes for
    concomitant medical illnesses. Primary care physicians (PCPs) manage patients
    with both mental and medical illnesses.1 It is estimated that approximately 43–60% of
    treatment for mental illness occurs in primary care, whereas 17–20% occurs in
    speciality mental health care.1
