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.

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.
