This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new model of care called Consultation-Liaison psychiatry, where a psychiatrist works directly with your primary care doctor in your regular clinic to help manage mental health issues. Instead of being sent to a separate psychiatric office, you'd receive psychiatric support right where you already get your general medical care. The study compares this team-based approach to regular treatment from your primary care doctor alone.
Many people with depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions see their primary care doctor first, but these doctors often feel unsure about treating complex psychiatric problems on their own. This trial tests whether having a psychiatrist available to collaborate in primary care can help doctors feel more confident, provide better treatment, and give patients more coordinated, continuous care.

If you're randomly selected for the new treatment group, you would work with both your primary care doctor and a psychiatrist who visits or consults at your clinic over a 2-month period. The psychiatrist would help assess your mental health and work with your doctor to create a treatment plan tailored to you. If you're in the comparison group, you'd continue receiving care from your primary care doctor as usual. The study also involves completing surveys and interviews about your experiences and how you're feeling.
