Untreated and mistreated mental illness costs the US $193.2 billion due to a combination of lost earnings, disability benefits, and health care expenditures. (MIMH 2002)

Of the 4.8 million adults who reported an unmet need for treatment of mental health problems and who did not receive treatment in the past year, 41.5 percent citied the inability to afford treatment as the cause. (SAMSHA 2006)

Only 6.2% of current US health care spending is devoted to treating mental disorders, yet major depression alone is the leading cause of disability in the US for people ages 15-44. (SAMSHA)
