Mental health parity refers to the equal treatment of mental health conditions and substance use disorders compared to physical health conditions in health insurance plans. This means that insurance coverage for mental health services should be at least equal to coverage for medical and surgical services, removing discriminatory practices that limit access to necessary care. Achieving mental health parity is crucial for reducing stigma and promoting awareness, as it encourages individuals to seek help without fear of financial burdens or unequal treatment.
