Which code does this activity belong in?
Mental health practitioners offer diagnosis and treatment of mental, emotional, behavioral disorders, and social dysfunction stemming from mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, or stress. This code distinguishes mental health specialists from physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and audiologists classified in Offices of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists, and Audiologists, which focus on functional rehabilitation rather than mental health conditions. Mental health practitioners also differ from all other health practitioners such as acupuncturists, respiratory therapists, and dietitians, whose services address different health domains.
