mental health services
Psychological support systems
Mental health services encompass the range of professional care and support provided to people experiencing psychological, emotional, or psychiatric difficulties.
These services include therapy, counseling, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, crisis intervention, and inpatient treatment.
The term appears frequently in discussions of healthcare policy and insurance coverage: Many communities lack adequate mental health services.
Access to mental health services has become a major public health concern as awareness of conditions like depression and anxiety has grown.
