Secondary prevention involves identifying and treating asymptomatic individuals who have already developed risk factors or preclinical disease but in whom the condition has not become clinically apparent. This screening and subsequent intervention with counseling resources aim to catch and address mental health issues early, before they become more severe, which aligns with the goals of secondary prevention.
