What Is Behavioral Health?

Behavioral health is the scientific study of the emotions, behaviors and biology relating to mental well-being, the ability to function each day and their concept of self.

Behavioral health is most often used when referring to these types of studies and treatment modalities. However, it is common in the space to see the mental health used interchangeably with variations of behavioral health.

A person struggling with his or her behavioral health may face stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, addiction, ADHD or learning disabilities, mood disorders, or other psychological concerns. Counselors, therapists, life coaches, psychologists, nurse practitioners or physicians can help manage behavioral health concerns with treatments such as therapy, counseling, or medication.
