Does the health insurance company know about domestic violence?
Health insurance companies may be aware of domestic violence if a policyholder seeks medical treatment for injuries related to domestic violence. However, they are not automatically informed about a policyholder's experience with domestic violence unless the individual chooses to disclose this information. Many health insurance companies have policies in place to protect the privacy and confidentiality of their members, so they would not have access to this information unless the policyholder chooses to share it. It is important for individuals experiencing domestic violence to seek support from healthcare providers and other resources, and to consider their options for disclosing their situation to their health insurance company if they feel comfortable doing so.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, while mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Perilous Medicine : The Struggle to Protect Health Care from the Violence of War
Pervasive violence against hospitals, patients, doctors, and other health workers has become a horrifically common feature of modern war.These relentless attacks destroy lives and the capacity of health systems to tend to those in need.Inaction to stop this violence undermines long-standing values and laws designed to ensure that sick and wounded people receive care. Leonard Rubenstein—a human rights lawyer who has investigated atrocities against health workers around the world—offers a gripping and powerful account of the dangers health workers face during conflict and the legal, political, and moral struggle to protect them.In a dozen case studies, he shares the stories of people who have been attacked while seeking to serve patients under dire circumstances including health workers hiding from soldiers in the forests of eastern Myanmar as they seek to serve oppressed ethnic communities, surgeons in Syria operating as their hospitals are bombed, and Afghan hospital staff attacked by the Taliban as well as government and foreign forces.Rubenstein reveals how political and military leaders evade their legal obligations to protect health care in war, punish doctors and nurses for adhering to their responsibilities to provide care to all in need, and fail to hold perpetrators to account. Bringing together extensive research, firsthand experience, and compelling personal stories, Perilous Medicine also offers a path forward, detailing the lessons the international community needs to learn to protect people already suffering in war and those on the front lines of health care in conflict-ridden places around the world.

Integrating Nutrition Into Mental Health Care
Mental health counselors, psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists realize that nutrition may be a factor in their clients’ mental health, but a lack of nutritional science background and resources makes it difficult for them to incorporate nutrition into the care they provide.Likewise registered dietitian nutritionists, new to the field of mental health care (whether in a facility or in private practice), may feel the need for succinct resources geared to this area of nutritional care.Integrating Nutrition and Mental Health Care illuminates the intersection between nutrition and mental health, bridging the gap for professionals in both fields.It presents resources in areas such as caffeine intake, family history of a genetically transmitted nutrition-related condition, interpretation of laboratory nutritional assessment, safe upper limits of supplements, as well as additional nutrition factors, helping practitioners easily incorporate selected nutritional aspects into the mental health care of clients.The book includes sample forms for office use and instructions to interpret client information, these forms can be easily downloaded and printed from the Routledge book page.Additional forms available help in facilitating referral to an RDN for a deeper look at individual patient’s nutritional issues. Further to information on nutrition and metal health, the text features a series of short fictional, but real-life, nutrition stories.These stories provide an enjoyable format in which to train, or test, the reader’s knowledge.
