“The economic burden of mental health conditions is on track to be around $16 trillion by 2030. There are multiple contributing factors, including COVID-19, and there is a great need for help and education. Accurately diagnosing a mental health disorder is challenging as many have comorbid and overlapping symptoms. It is hard in one or two visits for any professional to make a diagnosis. The practitioner lacks the always-on visibility of the patient’s life, making the diagnosis subjective and open to biases. Behavidence bridges the gap and brings real-life into play and does so outside of the clinical setting,” said Dr. Janine Ellenberger, Chief Medical Officer at Behavidence..
