Overview

Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we cope with stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence to adulthood. Every American must have access to mental health care when they need it. Several laws mandate that mental health care should be on equal footing with physical health care. However, in practice, the system still reflects the dangerous, outdated stigma against identifying and treating mental illness. This disparity in treatment underscores the urgent need for policy reform and societal change. This book delves into the complexities of mental health care in America, examining the root causes of current issues and exploring policy solutions. Through detailed analysis and expert insights, we aim to shed light on the importance of mental health parity and provide a strategic framework for addressing mental health disparities, especially among youth. Additionally, we explore the role of telemental health, legislative efforts, and the impact of genetic research on mental health care.
