More information about mental health
According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, an estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. As this estimate shows, mental disorders are widespread in the population. However, the most
debilitating forms of mental illnesses are concentrated in a much smaller proportion – about six percent, or one in 17 – who suffer from a serious mental illness (including Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia).
