Behavioral health is the medical study of behaviors, emotions, and biology relating to a patient’s mental well-being and ability to function in daily life. While it includes mental health, it is important to keep in mind that the two are not interchangeable. Mental health simply relates to biological factors, where behavioral health encompasses all aspects that contribute to mental health, such as habits, behaviors, and external forces. The ultimate goal of behavior health services is to help patients function in order to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Patients receiving behavior health services may need assistance attending work or school, engaging with their families, or participating in their communities.
