The population impact of improvements in mental health services: the case of Australia

Anthony Jorm. Br J Psychiatry. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

A national survey in 1997 found that Australia had a high prevalence of mental disorders with low rates of treatment. Since then, treatment availability has increased greatly and unmet need has reduced. However, there is little evidence that the nation's mental health has improved.
