Description
Summary:The level of disability among severely mentally ill persons is a substantial and costly burden on society as well as a burden on family members and the affected individual. In the past decade, research findings have brought new hope that the disabling aspects of severe mental problems can be significantly reduced by early interventions that bring individuals under the care of professionals using effective treatment and rehabilitation methods. This report focuses on the problems of severely mentally ill people in obtaining the services and housing they need to reduce the devastating impact of disability on their lives. The proposed research recommendations primarily concern adults who are severely mentally ill; research needs related to children and adolescents and to the elderly are addressed in other recent reports, whose recommendations are fully endorsed by this report.
