Mental Health Coverage

Meaning

Mental Health Coverage refers to the provisions within a health insurance plan that fund the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychiatric conditions, psychological disorders, and substance use disorders. This coverage is essential for holistic health, recognizing the profound bidirectional relationship between psychological well-being and the endocrine system, where chronic stress and mood disorders can significantly disrupt hormonal balance. Adequate coverage ensures access to necessary therapeutic modalities, including counseling and psychotropic medication management.
