Benefits of mental health counseling
Benefits of participating in ongoing consistent mental health services include professional support for the client, access to additional treatment such as medication management, case management, and guidance for certain mental health related situations that may arise. The benefits of seeking out mental health services stem beyond simply talking about how a person feels but services that can help someone with establishing life goals, processing past traumas, and understanding issues of the present. Such as a global pandemic that has a large impact on the lives of many individuals.
Disadvantages of not receiving mental health counseling
Disadvantages of not participating in mental health services include the following: not having access to needed services, such as medication management, untreated mental illness leading to deteriorating mental health, and possible repeating of crimes and suicidal ideations. Not participating and encouraging mental health services to those in need also perpetuates the stigma behind seeking out help for needs that are not being met by other avenues.
