Advances in understanding and treating mental illness: implications for policy

G Norquist et al. Health Aff (Millwood). 1999 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Mental illnesses have a significant impact on public health and contribute to a substantial part of the disability of the general population. Recent research on understanding and treating such illnesses has produced data that can inform policymakers about how to improve the condition of persons who suffer from these illnesses. This paper discusses how this research can be used to inform policy decisions regarding the allocation of community treatment resources and what research is still needed.
