It may not surprise most GPs, but patients with long-term mental health issues visit them twice as often as the general population, according to a new Federal Government-funded report.
The finding comes from the NPS MedicineWise’s third annual general practice insights report that’s based on data from 2.9 million patients who attended 3255 GPs across Australia between 2018 and 2019.
