Mental Health OpenNotes Empower Patients

Tagged With: mental health, Mental Health Notes, mental illness, therapy notes

Stacey has a history of anxiety and depression. Her symptoms became worse after a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and she began seeing a mental health therapist who offered to share visit notes with Stacey. The notes help Stacey remember what was discussed at the visit and what she’s supposed to do between visits. She also shares her notes with the doctor prescribing her medications so that her whole team is on the same page.
