What consequence does the EHB requirement for Mental health services potentially underemphasize regarding daily emotional equilibrium?

Daily mental fitness practices like mindfulness or stress-reduction techniques

While the Essential Health Benefits mandate coverage for mental health and substance use disorder services, which ensures access to treatment for diagnosed conditions, this structure may inadvertently overlook crucial aspects of ongoing well-being. The coverage often centers on traditional, billable diagnostic and treatment interventions. Consequently, practices essential for maintaining long-term emotional equilibrium, such as daily stress-reduction techniques or mindfulness exercises, may not be emphasized or covered because they fall outside the scope of formal, traditional therapeutic sessions. Recognizing these daily practices as vital complements to formal treatment is key to achieving optimal daily health.
