SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In South Carolina, approximately 706,000 adults
have a mental health condition. Due to the large need for mental
health services in South Carolina,
more patients are turning to emergency departments and acute care
facilities. This can lead to worse patient outcomes as these
facilities often lack adequate psychiatric services.
Addressing this growing concern, Mindpath Health is dedicated to
providing comprehensive mental health care, both in-person and
online, to meet the diverse needs of our South Carolina communities.
Comprehensive mental health services
Our licensed clinicians help with depression, anxiety,
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), sleep disorders,
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more.
In South Carolina, 78% of
Mindpath Health patients are treated for anxiety, depression, and
ADHD. Twenty-two percent of Mindpath Health patients are treated
for other diagnoses, including stress, substance use disorder, and
eating disorders.
Recognizing the increasing reliance on emergency departments for
psychiatric care, we offer accessible outpatient services designed
to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based and continuous
care.
Mindpath Health clinicians create treatment plans tailored to
meet individual needs, ensuring that each patient receives the care
and support to manage their mental health effectively.
Accessible care options
Mindpath Health has in-person locations in Charleston and Greenville, ensuring quality mental health
care is within reach. We offer online appointments throughout
South Carolina to help make
outpatient mental health care accessible to adults.
Our approach to mental health care allows clinicians to treat a
diverse range of patients, both in urban and rural settings. This
allows greater access to care for patients who may not be close to
the Charleston and Greenville offices.
Collaborative care approach
A cornerstone of Mindpath Health's practice is collaboration
with referring professionals. We collaborate and coordinate care
with primary care and other medical specialists, ensuring our
patients receive quality care.
This integrated model allows for sharing vital information, such
as lab results, which can be crucial for monitoring medications
that require regular lab checks. Such collaboration streamlines the
care process and saves patients time and money.
Through regular communication and coordinated care efforts, our
clinicians can address the multifaceted needs of our patients,
providing a holistic approach to mental health care.
Improving access to affordable care
South Carolinians are over five times more likely to be
forced out-of-network for mental health care services than primary
health care – making it difficult to find care and less affordable
due to higher out-of-pocket costs.
At Mindpath Health, we make mental health care services
accessible and affordable by being in-network with most major
commercial insurance companies, including BlueCross BlueShield,
Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Optum, and more.
Our commitment to affordability ensures more South Carolinians
can receive the care they need without the added stress of
expensive out-of-pocket costs.
Commitment to South
Carolina
Currently, almost a quarter of adults who suffer from
depression or anxiety in South
Carolina are unable to access mental health care. Our team
of psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse
practitioners are committed to the mental health of South
Carolinians.
