Mental Illness in America

According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and Harvard University, mental disorders account for 4 of the 10 leading causes of disability in established market economies worldwide. These disorders are: major depression, manic-depressive illness, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Other research has estimated that the cost of mental illnesses in the United States, including indirect costs such as days lost from work, was $148 billion in 1990, the last time the total bill was measured.
