WHAT IS THE MARKET SAYING?

MIHS has already done the extensive research on mental health

Mental health disorders are one of the most common forms of disability in the United States and affect people across their lifespan. The most common mental health disorders among adults are depression and anxiety.

In adults, mental health disorders (particularly depression) are associated with an increase in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. This is in part because chronic diseases can exacerbate the symptoms of pre-existing mental
health disorders and vice-versa. This relationship is important to consider when treating and managing both chronic diseases and mental health disorders.
