100 % agree that behavioral health as a term for referring to our illnesses is awful. I think it comes out of literature promoting theories of behavioral change. Therapists and other providers use these behavior change theories to help patients adhere to new diets, medication regime, CBT, etc to promote their clinical health outcomes, likes A1C levels or in our instances perhaps fewer MI related episodes.
So while I understand the references to behavioral health, that doesnt describe my illness. My illness isnt the result of behaviors. Behavrios may be a symptom, but they arent the cause. And simply addressing the behavior doesn't change the problem.
