Mental health and mental health care have only gotten worse since 2020. It's becoming harder and harder for people to make appointments to see therapists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals. This week Dr. Sandi discusses mental health, health coaching, and collaborative care with the founder of Intuitive Mental Health, Ravi Hariprasad.

With the state of healthcare today, many turn to their primary care physicians(PCP) for mental healthcare. Approximately 80% of all anti-depressants are prescribed by PCPs.
