MENTAL HEALTH DISABILITY BENEFITS-US/UK--MENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE, PARITY, ETC.
Mental Illness Ranks First In Terms of Causing Disability in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe "When compared with all other diseases (such as cancer and heart disease), mental illness ranks first in terms of causing disability in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, according to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2001). This groundbreaking study found that mental illness, including depression, bipolar disorder, (manic Depressive) and schizophrenia, accounts for 25% of all disabilty across major industrialized countries". (President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health) We have inside MH Disability and how to apply-Let's talk about it. Inside you will find resources on MH Insurance, as well. Health insurance discrimination exacerbates the stigma that discourages people from seeking treatment for mental and substance abuse disorders. We strive to obtain equality in Mental Health care coverage to eliminate the stigma, as it is no different from any other medical illness. Forum Led by: All Moderators |
