Thank you for sharing your successful experience with us. I commend you for your unwavering commitment to help your patient. Well done Danilo!
As you have stated,” one of the barriers or hurdles that you would frequently encounter is the depression mental state of a patient” ( Kayanan, 2016). Depression is also associated with pain that affects the person’s functional activities (Toshinaga, Ko, Hiroki, & Jefrey, 2016).
Does your company has a screening tool for the physical therapist to use? Do you think depression screening should be part of the PT Evaluation?
