Behavioral and mental health support for members

Different mental health conditions show up in different ways from person to person. Generally, it’s worth making an appointment with a primary care doctor if you’re experiencing:

A primary care doctor can ask you the right questions and take a closer look at your symptoms. They’ll help you start getting the care you need. In addition, we can help connect you with resources and specialists.

There are several care options for mental health concerns. One or more may be part of your treatment plan:

• Talk therapy – Also called psychotherapy (or just therapy), this involves confidential meetings with a professional therapist. Your therapist will be specially trained to ask questions that help them understand and figure out the best way to help you. Here, you’ll have a comfortable space to express your feelings and learn new ways to manage your symptoms.
• Medicines – Antidepressants, antianxiety medicines, mood stabilizers and stimulants can also help with your symptoms. Your doctor will talk with you to see which of these short- and long-term medicines might work for you.
• Lifestyle changes – Making changes to your daily routine can also help with your symptoms. For example, small shifts to your sleep schedule, meals or daily exercise can improve both your mental and physical health. Your care team will guide you to making better-for-you choices. They can also advise you about cutting back on behaviors or substances that may make your symptoms worse.
