Mental Health Disability: An International Perspective

About ⅓ of people living on disability status are doing so as a result of a mental health disability. Living on disability is costly as well as encourages those with mental illness to become passive about their health and discourages hope of feeling better. Evidence - based treatments, while effective, are rarely discussed or researched. Policy is so important, but many do not view mental health and disability as areas that need policy improvement. Policy and treatment working in tandem can make or break the experience of having a disability.
