Abstract
Family physicians are at the front lines of mental health concerns and distress, yet often feel stymied in their attempts to fully support patients' biopsychosocial needs within the barriers of a fragmented health care system. This article describes a practice transformation designed to facilitate more empowered care experiences. We reflect on our interdisciplinary work as a family physician and a behavioral health consultant working closely together in a Primary Care Behavioral Health model within a university setting. We describe our collaborative approach to a composite character from clinical practice: a college student with symptoms of psychomotor depression who screened negative for mood and anxiety concerns. Akin to a musical ensemble, wherein the inclusion of each voice turns a solo into a symphony, we describe key details of interdisciplinary collaboration which promotes holistic care for patients and fulfilling biopsychosocial practice for us as colleagues.
