When it comes to health insurance, mental health has not really been on a parity with physical health ailments. Yet, they can be just as debilitating as any physical illness to being able to live our lives or earn a living. Depression is probably the most common such problem out there and it can diminish a person's productivity on the job and have other negative effects. There are also mental health problems that can contribute to physical problems. Eating disorders are a prevalent one in this category. The most common of these are binge eating, bulimia and anorexia. Eating disorders affect over 20 million people in the United States. Depression and eating disorders are actually related as depression can sometimes lead to this other disorder.
