Risks & Benefits: Behavioral health treatment has both benefits and risks. Risks may include experiencing uncomfortable feelings because the process often requires discussing difficult aspects of one’s life.
However, treatment has been shown to have benefits. It often leads to a significant reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in relationships, greater awareness and insight, increased skills and resolutions to specific problems. A small number of clients may not improve because of treatment or may terminate before it is clinically indicated. It is important to keep your clinician advised of any difficulty you may encounter during your treatment.
