Access to physical health care is integral to help individuals with the physical health issues that often occur alongside mental health issues. Individuals in the midst of a mental health crisis may neglect their physical health which can lead to long-term health concerns. Affordable and accessible medical treatment, including dental care, can help ensure better long-term outcomes. In addition, early identification of mental health disorders or trauma by medical professionals, including pediatricians, can help individuals effectively manage their mental health.
