What is Behavioral Health? • Behavioral health describes the connection between the health and well-being of the body and the mind. This can include a variety of areas – everything from eating habits to drinking habits to exercise and various mental health challenges. Behavioral health can extend to psychiatric conditions, marriage and family counseling, and addiction treatments. Behavioral Health Stats • There is also a growing amount of research suggesting that behavioral health and physical health are closely related. Sixty-eight percent of adults with mental health disorders also struggle with medical conditions. Some of these conditions are chronic, and the cost of managing these conditions is high. The cost of managing the physical health of a patient with an underlying behavioral issue is estimated to be three times more than that of a patient without these challenges. Chronic health conditions account for 81 percent of all hospital admissions, 91 percent of all prescriptions filled and 76 percent of all physician visits. #BehavioralHeal #ExerciseScience #nuerolinguisticprogramming #personaldevelopment #Psychology #QueerPsychologist #hypnosis #Nonbinary #SelfCare #SelfLove (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7YgfWrUBM/?utm_medium=tumblr
