At least 1 in 5 people has a diagnosable mental disorder during the course of any given year (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1999).
Mental health issues are a continuum of differences in cognition, emotion or mood that adversely effect functioning (APA, 2000).
From hospitals and primary care to the public behavioral health system
From general population to severe mentally ill (SMI) population
Persons with behavioral health disorders die up to 25 years earlier than the general population (NASMHPD, 2006; 2008).
Behavioral health clients have high rates of modifiable risk factors (e.g., tobacco and poor nutrition/obesity) (NASMHPD, 2006; 2008).
