Behavioral Health
Positive behavioral health means engaging in activities that help you achieve a balance between your mental and physical well-being. This includes exercising, eating healthy, improving your environment and relationships, and managing any existing diseases or injuries.
What Does the Symmio Behavioral Health Score Mean?
Symmio’s report provides a total score for behavioral health, but what does this actually mean? We use two evidence-based tests that are widely recognized for identifying major depression, primarily in primary care settings. If an initial screen shows a potential concern, a more in-depth assessment is recommended to gauge the severity. Low scores should prompt immediate attention to behavioral health concerns, prioritizing individual safety over other domains.
Why Is Behavioral Health Important?
Many people struggle with their mental health and well-being, but more are now opening up about their mental health and seeking help. Remember, everyone has mental health. Not everyone has a mental illness, but both can be helped. Stress, anxiety, and depression can all negatively impact your well-being. Integrating care for mental and physical health is crucial. Did you know that half of people with musculoskeletal conditions say it negatively affects their mental health? And 93% say it impacts their entire lives.
