A mental health nurse is a specialist with special skills and knowledge, whose competence includes assessing health status and analyzing health risks, counseling patients and their loved ones, and promoting their daily life coping based on a mental disorder. A mental health nurse works closely with the treating physician, including psychiatrists, psychologists and specialists in other specialties, where, by applying different knowledge, the most suitable and effective solution to a person’s health problem is found. We recommend consulting a mental health nurse upon initial contact to clarify the health status and receive recommendations for further treatment.
