Medical Social Work

Mental Health

Mental disorders are characterized by abnormalities in cognition, emotion, mood, social interactions or planning of future activities. The signs of mental disorders vary with age, gender, race, and culture. Symptoms of a mental illness may include, but are not limited to, inappropriate anxiety, disturbances of thought and perception, feelings of depression, completion of repetitive behaviors, or the presence of irrational fears.
The Medical Social Work staff will provide a complete evaluation of your individual needs and will work with your primary care physician in helping you cope with daily life changes as you adjust to a new diagnosis and/or treatment.
