mental illness treatment
Psychological care services
Mental illness treatment encompasses the methods used to address psychological disorders—therapy, medication, hospitalization, or combinations thereof.
The phrase often appears in policy discussions about access and funding: Mental illness treatment remains underfunded in most states.
Someone in treatment is actively receiving care, while seeking treatment implies the often difficult process of finding appropriate help.
