Introduction

Behavioral health refers to a mental health condition leading to stress, anxiety, and depression. Destructive behavior is mainly caused due to eating disorders, substance abuse, self-injury, and addiction. Some behavioral health disorders are present from childhood, such as ADHD or autism. All these conditions require early detection, prevention, and treatment. These disorders are treated through rehabilitation programs, including psychotherapy along with medications. Psychotherapy includes cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, parent education, social skills training, and family support services. Additionally, alternative therapies are available, such as brain stimulation therapy.
