Facts
• Mental illnesses usually strike individuals in the prime of
their lives, often during adolescence and
young adulthood.
All ages are susceptible, but the young and the old are especially
vulnerable.
• Without treatment the consequences of mental illness for the
individual and society are staggering:
unnecessary
disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate
incarceration,
suicide
and wasted lives; The economic cost of untreated mental illness is
more than 100 billion
dollars each
year in the United States.
• The best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly
effective; between 70 and 90
percent of individuals have significant
reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life with a
combination
of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments and supports.
