No Stigma: Why More People are Getting Help Than Ever

No Stigma Why More People are Getting Help Than
Ever
2
Mental Health Less Stigma

• The APA's Practice Directorate conducted a
  telephone survey of 1,000 randomly selected
  Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 and those
  Americans agreed the stigma about seeking mental
  health treatment is becoming less of an obstacle
  to getting treatment.

• Students have more of an awareness to their
  problems because mental illness is discussed more
  openly today. Schools often address the problem,
  providing counseling and courses for treatment.

National Alliance of Mental Illness

• The National Alliance of Mental Illness, or NAMI,
  says society is changing.

• The Stigma Complex, published in The Annual
  Review of Sociology 2015, she says Americans are
  finally understanding that mental health issues
  are simply brain disorders and need not be
  stigmatized.

Seeking Treatment

• More Americans are finding it easier to seek
  treatment because of the Affordable Care Act.

• These acts have helped to increase access to
  mental health services for all segments of
  society.

Mental Health Treatment

• From mental health outpatient treatment centers
  where patients come and go, to mental health
  residential treatment centers where patients live
  for a specified period of time and receive
  supervised care around the clock
