🧠 New PTSD Trial in Primary Care A recent randomized trial found that in primary care settings, both trauma-focused therapy (written exposure therapy) and SSRIs for PTSD are feasible and effective. For patients who didn’t respond to an SSRI, switching to an SNRI led to greater symptom improvement than adding written exposure therapy. 👉 Practical takeaway: Integrated primary care teams can confidently offer SSRIs or brief trauma therapy—and should plan for a switch (e.g., SNRI) if the first‐line SSRI doesn’t work. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eubsGV8s

📢 New Research Highlight! A recent study in Annals of Family Medicine shows that adolescents are highly satisfied with Behavioral Health services delivered through the PCBH model in primary care — and most said they wouldn’t have sought mental health care elsewhere if these services weren’t available in-clinic. ➡️ Key takeaway: Integrating behavioral health into pediatric primary care leads to earlier access, higher satisfaction, and fewer specialty referrals. 🔗 Read the abstract: https://lnkd.in/eFvSNShA
