BOSTON (AP) - Americans grappling with mental illness are more likely to be treated for it now than they were 10 years ago, according to a landmark government-backed survey.
The rate of mental illness has remained the same, but researchers believe that with more treatment inroads in the future, rates should eventually start to drop.
"I think things are going to move in a good direction, but we're sort of in the midst of it," said study leader Ronald Kessler, a sociologist at Harvard Medical School.
