National Mental Health Survey Shows Mixed Results on Progress
The latest national mental-health tracking survey, led by Ron Kessler, indicates
that despite therapeutic advances, increased awareness, and expansion of mental-health
coverage since the last survey was taken 10 years ago, a majority of Americans
will have a mental-health disorder at some time in their life. These disorders
frequently go untreated, and what care is provided is often inadequate. The findings
suggest that mental disorders gain their strongest foothold among young people.
