Aetna and Your Mental Wellness

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI):

  • 1 in 5 American adults experience mental illness each year
  • 1 in 20 adults experience serious mental health concerns each year
  • 1 in 6 youths ages 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year
  • 50% of lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 14, 75% by 24
  • Suicide is the second leading cause of dealth among individuals aged 10-14.

Your mental health deserves as much attention and care as your physical health. Unfortunately, we don’t always give it the attention it deserves. Millions of Americans are impacted by symptoms each year, though not everyone seeks the treatment they need and deserve.

Treating behavioral health concerns and symptoms is vital to your overall health. There can be many things that stand in the way of seeking treatment, unfortunately confusion regarding insurance benefits can be one of them. Carolina Counseling Services contracts with a number of licensed therapists and psychiatric professionals who care. Many also happen to be in network with Aetna and Aetna State Health Plan!
