Mental illness in America is a social and economic struggle that has affected and changed lives in our great Nation. According the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) one in every four adult Americans experiences a mental illness in any given year. About 13.6 million (about 6 percent of the population) live with a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, such as bipolar disorder, major depression, or schizophrenia. Also, according to the latest National Survey on Drug and Health (NSDUH) survey results: In 2016, 12.8 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 17 (3.1 million adolescents) and 10.9 percent of young adults aged 18 to 25 (3.7 million) had a major depressive episode (MDE) during the past year. Telemental Health Services is a proven effective method of care, that stands to overcome barriers such as access to care, lack of awareness or continuum of care.
