Programs and care options that support your mental health and wellbeing.
Mental health, also known as behavioral health, is an important part of our overall health. It includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. In the U.S., one in five adults experience mental illness each year. But you are not alone. If you, or someone in your family, has mental health needs, we’re here to help.
With our telehealth services from Teladoc ® , you can connect with a licensed mental health specialist online, by phone or mobile app. It's a stress-free and cost-effective way to get support from anywhere. Many providers are also accepting new patients. Teladoc mental health services are available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
