Parity is another word for equality. many states have enacted mental health parity laws. The goal of these laws is to force health insurance companies to cover treatment for mental health issues in the same manner that they cover other health issues. This parity rule applies to things like copays and managed treatment tools.

These are services usually available to people throughout Europe, North America and other developed countries. They are like clinics or doctor offices, but involve mental health. If a person/family is having a problem with mental health or social interactions, it is wise to seek out help from a mental health center that can often refer you to other places for help.
No, not ethically. Unless they specialize in mental health, they should refer you to a psychiatrist.
Funny question that one. All psychologists deal with mental health in one way or another. It really depends on what sort of mental health issue you have or want advice on. Clinical psychologists are generally the ones you want when it comes to these sorts of issues. If the mental health issue requires medication they will generally refer you onto a psychiatrist as psychologists cant provide medication. Hope this helps :)
You can say "mental and physical health". You can also say "physical and mental health". So both are completely acceptable.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health disorders. They are trained in both the physical and psychological aspects of mental health and are able to prescribe medication to help manage symptoms. Patients may refer to a psychiatrist as a mental health doctor or a doctor specializing in psychiatry.
