Washington [US], January 11 (ANI): A comprehensive analysis has found that current conditions are ripe for transforming the U.S. mental health care system, with scientific advances, the growth of Medicaid and political consensus on the importance of improving mental health creating the possibility that goals once thought out of reach may now be possible.
According to a new RAND Corporation study, broad changes will be needed to improve how Americans receive mental health care, such as integrating behavioural health care into general health care settings, providing supportive housing to the homeless and promoting comprehensive mental health education.
