Experts Urge Annual Mental Health Checkups Like Physical Exams
Original: Why Your Mental Health Needs an Annual Checkup, Too
The New York Times argues that mental health deserves the same routine preventive care as physical health, recommending a yearly mental health checkup alongside annual physical exams. The piece reflects a broader push among clinicians to normalize regular mental health screenings, catch problems early, and reduce stigma by treating psychological well-being as a standard part of healthcare rather than a response to crisis.
Why now: Growing public interest in preventive mental health care has made the idea of routine checkups a timely talking point.
