| Summary |
"According to data collected by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), nearly one in five Americans lives with some kind of behavioral illness, and one in twenty suffer from what is called 'serious behavioral illness.' Behavioral health issues are common, affecting more than 50 million Americans at any time. Many millions more experience mental and behavioral health issues indirectly, through friends, family, or in performing their jobs. Many professionals in public service professions, such as emergency responders and individuals in the medical profession, encounter many types of mental and emotional health issues in the course of their work. Behavioral health ultimately affects all Americans, whether directly or indirectly, and this means that behavioral health is a collective, national problem. Some experts claim that the United States is experiencing a behavioral health crisis, largely because rates of depression and behavioral health issues have been increasing since the 1990s. Data from within the behavioral health industry indicates that more than half of those suffering from extreme behavioral health issues do not seek or are unable to obtain treatment. This is a problem that overlaps with the lack of sufficient medical care coverage, increased levels of substance abuse, and other mental health issues. The COVID-19 health crisis posed a serious external stressor that many expert believe will continue to deepen America's behavioral health crisis in various ways. Coping with a massive societal disruption like COVID-19 has called attention to shortcomings in the US healthcare and social welfare systems"-- Page ix. |
