and two years into a global pandemic that has highlighted the need for increased access to mental health care, 570 counties across the United States still have no psychologists, psychiatrists or counselors.Most are considered rural, meaning your ability to access care may differ greatly depending on where you live.
Texas Health and Human Services Public Information Officer Kelli Weldon explained in an email that the state has 39 local mental and behavioral health authorities providing care to residents.She wrote that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission"places a high priority on identifying mental health and substance use service availability at the right time and right place."
In communities where accessing care is more difficult, Levin says, people may find their illnesses progress before they are able to receive it and,"the comorbidity is a lot more severe." "Just in the last 2 years, the need for mental health and substance abuse services, they actually surged due to the COVID-19 pandemic," Severns said.
