The link between mental and physical health
- The cost of care is 75% higher for people with co-occurring mental and physical health issues than those without a behavioral health issue
- Depression has been linked to serious chronic illnesses—including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and arthritis
- The mortality rate from cancer and heart disease is higher among people with depression or other mental health conditions
- About 1 in 4 US adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder each year
The barriers to effective mental healthcare
- 85% of the nation’s mental health provider shortages are in rural communities
- 42% of surveyed Americans with a mental health disorder described cost and poor insurance coverage as their primary barrier to care
- 11 years: the average delay between symptom onset and receiving care
- 25 days: the average wait time to see a professional for an initial evaluation
Even when care is accessible within a community, too often it is fragmented and uncoordinated between providers and specialists, making follow-up and communication difficult for patients. This means missed or neglected treatment and worse health outcomes.
- Traditional employee assistance programs (EAPs) feature historically low utilization and satisfaction (3-5%) and these are not connected to primary care
- Specialty mental health companies often rely on inconsistent staffing, are not connected to primary care, and vary in terms of insurance, copays, and subscription models
Pairing mental health services with primary care for better support and improved health
