3. Let’s Talk About Mental Health | Kura Manasik Swasthya Ko
Our mental health is as important as our physical health and this pandemic has made it more apparent. This video explains what resources we have available for our Nepali Community members and why it is important to manage our mental health concerns. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge. The PHQ-9 is a screening tool, an aid in the diagnosis, and helps track a patient’s overall depression severity as well as track improvement.
