Abstract:
Across the world, the prevalence of mental illness is growing, and most health systems struggle to find a way to respond, whether through effective preventive actions or better treatment and support. This is a major concern, mainly because mental illness is distressing for individuals and families, but also because the economic impacts (disrupted employment, lost productivity, high health service and other costs) are enormous. Can evidence from economics research inform policy and practice decisions so that the impacts of mental illness – personal, societal and economic – be reduced?
