Lead Risk

Many people with serious mental illness are challenged doubly.

• They struggle with the symptoms and disabilities that result from the

disease.

• They are challenged by the stereotypes and prejudice that result from

misconceptions about mental illness. As a result of both, people with mental illness are robbed of the opportunities that define a quality life:

• good jobs
• safe housing,
• satisfactory health care
• affiliation with a diverse group of people

Although research has gone far to understand the impact of the disease, it has

• nly recently begun to explain stigma in mental illness.

Much work yet needs to be done to fully understand the breadth and scope of prejudice against people with mental illness.

Understanding the impact of stigma on people with mental illness

Mental Illness Is Common Of Connecticut’s approximately 3.5 million residents, close to 109,000 adults live with serious mental illness and about 39,000 children live with serious mental health conditions. Untreated Mental Illness has Deadly and Costly Consequences In 2006, 292 Connecticut residents died by suicide. Suicide is almost always the result of untreated or under-treated mental illness. Nationally, we lose one life to suicide every 15.8 minutes. Suicide is the eleventh- leading cause of death overall and is the third-leading cause of death among youth and young adults aged 15-24. During the 2006-07 school year, approximately 32 percent of Connecticut students aged 14 and older living with serious mental health conditions who receive special education services dropped out of high school.

Mental Illness

Mental Illness

Public Mental Health Services are Inadequate to Meet Needs Connecticut’s public mental health system provides services to only 24.5 percent of adults who live with serious mental illnesses in the state. Connecticut spent just $170 per capita on mental health agency services in 2006, or $591.6 million. This was just 2.6 percent of total state spending that year. In 2006, 59 percent of Connecticut state mental health agency spending was on community mental health services; 30 percent was spent on state hospital care. Nationally, an average of 70 percent is spent on community mental health services and 28 percent on state hospital care.
