Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being. Nurses are trained to recognize signs of mental health issues and provide appropriate interventions. This includes:
- Screening for Depression and Anxiety: Using standardized tools to identify mental health concerns. - Providing Emotional Support: Offering a listening ear and empathetic care to patients experiencing stress or emotional distress. - Connecting Patients to Resources: Referring patients to mental health specialists or support groups as needed.
