Yearly Mental Health Checkup
You are supposed to get a yearly physical, right? What about a yearly
mental? :) How many people check their mental health on a yearly
basis--even if there does not seem to be a problem? Few people actually
do this. However, I can think of at least one of my friends that does
something like this.
Why go for a mental health exam if you do not need it? There are so
many people that have stress creep up on them without seeing it. This
is a great way to use the help of a professional to see if stress is
becoming an issue. Also, it is a great time to look at what successes
you have had the past year and what you need to accomplish.
Once you start a dialogue with a mental health professional, you will
likely be surprised at the successes you have had and also those
challenges that may benefit from a bit of consultation.

Makes complete sense to me Mr.Buck.:)
Excellent idea. BUT I doubt insurance companies would think it was something that should be covered. They barely think mental health is part of health to begin with. I really do think you're on to something though.

Exactly...Insurance companies cover very little and are reactive instead of proactive.
When a person pays for services themselves and leaves the insurance company out of the equation, they have complete control over what they want to discuss and how they want to run the show!
