Document Summary
Treatment: getting help to those who need it. 46. 4% people in us suffer from some type of mental disorder; 26. 2% suffer from at least. Mental disorders vs. physical disorders: earlier ages of onset, as severe or more severe than physical impairments. Financial costs: depression: 4th leading cause of disability, rise to 2nd by 2020. 18% of people in us with mental disorder in past 12 months received treatment in same time frame lower in low-income countries. Serious mental disorder treatment rates are higher=40% received. Average delay from onset until treatment=over a decade. Why many people fail to seek treatment: people may not realize that they have a mental disorder that could be effectively treated. 45% with mental disorder do not think they need to be treated. Not taken as seriously = hidden illness: there may be barriers to treatment, such as beliefs and circumstances that keep people from getting help. Believe that they should be able to handle things themselves.
