Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Integration of mental health is becoming more of a necessity in internal medicine, particularly among patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, or autoimmune disorders. Internists screen for depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment, intervening in a timely manner.

Working together with psychiatrists and psychologists, internal medicine doctors incorporate behavioral therapies, stress management interventions, and medication management. This integrated approach enhances treatment compliance and quality of life.

By treating physical and mental well-being, internal medicine delivers comprehensive care that recognizes the intricate relationship between mind and body. Increased mental health care decreases complications and enhances long-term health.
