Episode 420: GPs should stop making mental health diagnoses

In episode 420, James and Mike welcome back Bruce Arroll to talk about approaches to how we should talk about, discuss, chart and treat mental health issues. We discuss avoiding psychiatric labels, consider giving transdiagnostic labels, and doing functional assessments around work, love, and play.
