What is Behavioural Health?

What is the difference between Mental Health & Behavioural Health?
Many practitioners often use Behavioural & Mental Health interchangeably, however this is a subtle difference. Mental Health focuses on thoughts, feelings, and emotions and how they influence your well-being .
Behavioural Health, focuses on the actions you take and how they influence your well-being.
Your mental state can affect your actions, and your actions can affect your mental state, but they’re not always directly linked.
