Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Many persons with mental illness do not receive treatment. The reasons include factors related to managed care and cost containment. Many persons are underdiagnosed and undertreated. Current data shows that barely half of the persons with depression receive treatment and that less than half of that treatment is judged to be adequate. In addition, length of stay in acute care settings has decreased as a direct result of reduction of funding for mental health treatment. However, recently legislation addressing mental health parity has been passed in some states.
