MOOD SELF-MANAGEMENT

The importance of Mental Health Treatment

Depression is a very complicated disease. It is not a sign of personal weakness or failure. It can’t be willed or wished away. If you have major depression you can’t just “pull yourself together and get over it.” Treatment is often needed. Getting the right help is very important for you and your child’s health and well-being. Driscoll Health Plan provides Behavioral Health Services to help treat mental health conditions. No referrals needed to get started. Click here for a list of services available to you.
