Numerous media outlets are reporting on a survey published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which shows that nearly half of Americans will develop at least one mental illness during their lifetime. See, e.g., "CDC: Half of Americans Will Suffer From Mental Health Woes", USA Today (Sept. 5, 2011).
Below you will find a link to the CDC report and an excerpt from the Introduction that contains the reported finding as well as other findings in the report. These findings are based on one of the largest surveys ever conducted. These statistics would seem to make a strong case that treatment of mental illness is cost effective. You may want to put these links on the website for APsaA members to use.
