Module 6: Follow-Up and Referrals
This module explores the importance of continuity of care in managing MDD. Family doctors play a critical role in follow-up and coordination, even when patients are referred to psychiatrists. Building trust between patients and healthcare professionals enhances care quality, improves outcomes, and supports patients in maintaining treatment adherence. Continuity of care also allows for early detection of recurrent episodes. You will follow Maria, Hassan, and Kofi as they navigate their ongoing treatment and management of MDD.
