Reply to Dr Ungar

Dear Editor:

We are happy that our work can help the effort to increase shared mental health care. First, it is important to bear in mind that only some GPs and psychiatrists are ready to engage in on-site collaboration. Dr Ungar’s experiences validate the results of our survey: closer schemes of collaboration tend to involve only a few physicians. They are far from being the most accepted model of clinical practice for GPs and psychiatrists. For example, Dr Ungar stated that, of 381 GPs at North York General Hospital, only a few physicians request closer collaboration. Most GPs still rely on referral to the psychiatric outpatient clinic as the main approach to psychiatric patients.

Our survey indicates that strategies focusing on telephone access may be more fruitful. The failure of the ACCESS project may relate to the fact that psychosis management deals with a disorder rare in general practice, compared with common disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or somatoform disorders. New efforts may be more productive if they concentrate on the latter disorders first.
