Mental Health
|
Medical professionals emphasize a clear connection between mental and physical
health, and they stress the fundamental importance of mental health to overall
health and well-being. Mental disorders, affecting nearly one in five Americans
in any given year, are real illnesses, and when left untreated, they can be just
as serious and disabling as physical diseases such as cancer and stroke. The inability
to pay is often a barrier to securing mental health services for those who do
not qualify for Medicaid.
