What is Behavioral Health
Mental Health and Behavioral Health sometimes come under the same category. But Mental Health mostly focuses on the psychological state of a person and it depends solely on it. Whereas, behavioral health depends on the eating disorder more on alcohol intake and even includes the daily routine.
Let us get a little into Behavioral Health issues.
Let me make this simple, A perfect balance between our daily routine which would include, good sleep, physical activity, and a good diet. Which would even out the balance of physical health and good health.
According to research, around 70% of the people who are suffering from behavioral health would seek help. It includes the emotions and behaviors that affect your overall well-being. It is sometimes also called mental health and often includes substance use. Just like physical health, it has trained providers who can help you much like a physical health care provider would.
Here are services that include
- Family and Marriage counseling
- Substance prevention
- Mental Healthcare
Below are a few points or habits that indicate a person’s health issue:
- Lack of sleep
- Overeating or not eating properly
- Less hygiene
- Isolating from the social event
- Drug or alcohol abuse
- Gambling or other addiction
These might be just a few issues that contribute to it and there are many professional services to help people get over their disorder.
- Psychiatrists
- Psychologists
- Family and Marriage counselors
- Social workers
- Anti-addiction treatments and centers
- Prevention of abuse

Truly written, and to come out of this you need to be surrounded by the right people that’s when you fall in the right hands like psychiatrist, social workers etc.

Very interesting take on Mental Health. One alwsays needs someone to get over it. Actually you need a support group. I suffer from chronic depression and I understand a lot about mental health.

Thank you for the info… these days every second person is dealing with some mental issue or the other, big or small, so awareness helps.

Behavioural health issues are common and it’s a good thing that they can be noticed and understood by people around us. Help can then be sought at the right time.

This is quite eye-opening. I am happy that so many people are seeking out help for the same, and hope the number only goes up if needed

This is a very informative post. I knew about mental health but I had no idea about behavioral health. If I had not read your article I would have had no idea about the the patterns of behavioral health. I tght that would have been a part of mental health.

Behavioural health and mental health are live vacious circle one affects other. It is important that people seek help and share with the people they trust so that intervention can be taken at the right time.

Much needed insights, obviously! I kind of knew all this stuff but did not know that it was categorized under behavorial health. Just this overview puts things so much into perspective. Looking forward to the next instalment.

A very informative post. We always think about mental health but behavioral health is also important. They are a sign that help is needed.

I feel behavioural health issues find root in mental health issues. But they are rarely explored. Thanks for bringing it to the forefront.

I am so glad I read this, as i was unaware of this term called Behavioral Health. Your post has enlightened me and educated me.
Vasumathi
Behaviour health or issues can be indicative of an underlying Mental Health condition. Anything that is out of the ordinary & is leading to other issues needs to be addressed as soon as possible with the correct diagnosis & treatment. Not just lack of sleep, even over sleeping is an indication.
Zenobia Merchant
Insightful info. Loved the simple and lucid language, which made it more relatable.

Jhilmil D Saha
Mental health is still an often-ignored territory and even many educated people fail to realize the depth of it. Its high time we should be more aware of its importance.

Mental health is often ignored in our country. It’s good to have a checklist to at least ensure that level of sanity.

Up. Until now I was unaware of the term behavioral health. We all confuse this with mental health. Thanks for explaining it clearly

Finally, someone is talking about behavioural health. I am so great to you for this post. We should talk more about mental health and resolve it instead of naming it as a disease.
