Psychologists collaborate with gynecologists to provide comprehensive care. This collaboration can take various forms:
Consultations: Psychologists may be consulted to provide insights into a patient's mental health status and how it might be impacting their physical health. Integrated Clinics: Some healthcare facilities offer integrated clinics where psychologists and gynecologists work together to develop a holistic treatment plan. Referrals: Gynecologists often refer patients to psychologists when they identify symptoms of mental health issues that require specialized care. Workshops and Group Therapy: Psychologists may conduct workshops or group therapy sessions focusing on issues like stress management, coping with chronic illness, or dealing with reproductive health concerns.
