Illnesses that disrupt one’s life are not always physical. Mental health and emotional health issues can severely affect relationships, jobs, family and life goals. Psychological disorders can be just as debilitating as physical disease. Behavioral health specialists can help.

Fortunately, medicine and medical science have made significant advances in understanding and treating behavioral health problems. Scripps Health offers inpatient behavioral health care for adults who are admitted to our hospitals through our emergency departments or urgent care centers. Outpatient behavioral health care is available through our partnerships with various organizations throughout the community.
