This is so interesting. I'm curious about how you might get connected with a social worker if you are not hospitalized. If you think a social worker might be helpful, should you ask your PCP - or your neurologist? Just looking for the best path...

At Mayo Clinic a person can ask their outpatient physician provider about social work services. We have social workers that work under the case management department and provide outpatient services to some of our specialty practices, and we have licensed clinical social workers who provide psychotherapy services through the department of psychology. Outside of Mayo Clinic it is best that patients contact their physician to see what services are available. If psychotherapy services are needed a person can contact their insurance company for a list of community providers.
