Some Problems Faced by Mental Health Providers
Lack of detailed knowledge at fingertips
Useful and detailed information on medications, diagnostics and treatments is not at clinicians' fingertips and often requires an arduous search through multiple large documents.
Inconsistent patient outcomes
A large percentage of mental health diagnoses and treatments have poor outcomes, leading to dissatisfaction among patients. The proportion of psychiatric misdiagnoses and misprescriptions is higher than for other areas of medicine.
Psychiatric tests are not quantitative enough
Unlike other branches of medicine, where symptoms can be quantified numerically or visually, mental health is a qualitative science where diagnoses, treatments and prescriptions are based on verbal patient-clinician sessions. This often leads to inconsistent treatments by different clinicians.
High costs
Many patients are deterred by the high costs of ongoing psychiatric care, often complicated by healthcare insurers adverse policies regarding mental health.
