WHAT IS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH?
Behavioral Health is a broad field encompassing mental health, substance use disorders, and the impact of behaviors and lifestyles on overall well-being. It includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. In essence, behavioral health examines the connection between a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how they affect their physical and emotional health. Prioritizing behavioral health helps individuals cope with stress, manage challenges, and foster overall well-being, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and productive life.
