Abstract: Borderline mental conditions, including mild forms of anxiety, depression, and somatoform disorders, often go unnoticed and untreated at the primary healthcare level. Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) have become an essential tool for improving the diagnosis and management of such patients. This article examines the role of MDTs at the primary healthcare level, utilizing data from the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, AMEE, and international associations of psychiatry and family medicine. The analysis highlights the importance of integrating psychiatric expertise into primary healthcare, emphasizing education, collaboration, and patient-centered care.
