Explain a negative and positive aspect of the term behavioral health.
What will be an ideal response?
Behavioral health includes prevention and well-being promotion and is a hopeful concept for people who feel that mental illness is a permanent part of their lives. Behavioral health is also a kinder term than mental health and may help reduce the stigma. Behavioral health can also place the onus on the individual to change rather than considering external environmental factors such as poverty, discrimination, or abuse, thus obliterating the underlying causes of suicidal behaviors and conveying a concept more reminiscent of an insurance company than of someone struggling with mental health issues.
