Healthier Minds for Healthier Outcomes in Long-Term Condition Care
Using digital solutions to increase access to mental health support for patients with long-term physical conditions.
*Visual version of the whitepaper is also available here.
Common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are two to three times more likely to occur in people with physical long-term conditions compared with the general population. Many of these patients aren’t getting the support they need, resulting in significantly poorer health outcomes and reduced quality of life.
Our new audiobook explores the challenges associated with scaling mental health services to support this growing patient population. With expert insight from Chris Wright, National Advisor and National Programme Lead Digital Mental Health at Scottish Government, we consider how specialised digital mental health solutions can help services meet this urgent demand.
This audiobook takes a deep dive into:
- The scale of the problem of comorbid physical and mental health conditions and the associated personal and financial costs.
- Lived experiences of people diagnosed with a long-term condition and reflections on the relationship between their physical and mental health.
- Why digital solutions are ideally suited to helping patients with chronic conditions overcome some of the specific barriers they face in accessing mental health support.
- How NHS Scotland deployed SilverCloud® by Amwell® to expand and enhance their services for people living with chronic pain
