The Challenges and Rewards of Rural Psychiatry
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Psychiatrists who choose to practice in rural areas are faced with many challenges, including impoverished populations, stigmatization of mental health conditions, reduced access to treatment, and provider shortages. In addition, they are confronted with issues such as increased rates of suicide and binge drinking and nonmedical use of prescription medication among adolescents. Moreover, societal issues, such as homelessness, that have important implications for mental health appear to have patterns and solutions in rural areas that are different from those in urban areas. For example, in rural areas, homelessness can be a direct consequence of economic changes within the community, and it is more likely to affect women and children.1
