Thank you so much. I've been fascinated by this conversation and Dr. McDaniel's comments. You cannot have mental health without physical health, and he put it correctly—we all need to be working together.
Chronic pain and mental health are directly connected. Sixty-five per cent of people who have chronic pain will also have a mental health issue, and I believe the stats go both ways.
As far as your comments about other models, I know we do things differently here, but around the world, if you look just south of the border in the United States, they actually have integrated teams on bases. They have chiropractors on staff working together with professionals. We now know that interdisciplinary integrated models of care are the best way to treat patients, because we are not siloed, as someone put it. You can't have mental health and not think about all the other conditions that the patient may be going through. It must be a team-based collaborative approach.
