treatment
In Health and Disability, Mental health
Treatment is anything a health-care provider does to improve your health or prevent your health from getting worse. This includes things like medicine or drugs, counselling, therapy, or medical care for an illness or injury.
Treatment doesn’t include the time a health-care provider assesses your physical or mental health. It also doesn’t include the time they spend talking to you about your health.
