Behavioral health is generally described as the connection between behaviors and the health and well-being of the mind and body. It encompasses how our experiences impact our behaviors and those behaviors impact our overall health. Most commonly the disciplines of psychiatry and psychology practice in the realm of behavioral health, however, other disciplines such as occupational therapy, nutritionists, nurses, as well as many other disciplines may play a role in behavioral health.
