Module Lecture
Overview of Behavioral Healthcare
Global Differences of Services and Access
Mental Health Statistics and Geographic Shortages
In this module, we examine how mental health services are structured and financed. In many countries access to mental health services are grossly insufficient for the large and growing need of mental health patients. Cost-effective treatment plans are available, but the stigma associated with mental illness often prevents individuals from seeking treatment.

The delivery of mental health services is a complex undertaking. It is important to have a basic understanding of the prevalence of mental illness, concepts of access, and how some nations finance mental health services.
An understanding of the shortage of mental health services and the stigma associated with this topic can improve your understanding of the issues and possible solutions.

Module Lecture
A large percentage of individuals do not obtain health care for their condition because the mental health infrastructure and services in most countries are not suitable to support the growing number of mental health patients. Also present is the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness which prevents ill persons from seeking care they so desperately need. It is estimated that mental health services are lacking in 40% of countries, and 25% of countries have no budgets set aside to address mental illness. (Stoskopf & Johnson, 2018)

It controls how we handle stress and relate to others, and it effects the choices we make.

Mental illness does not discriminate—individuals of all ages, races, religions, or income levels are affected. Mental illnesses are true health conditions and are not the consequence of such things as poor upbringing or a personal weakness.

Module Lecture
Meeting the medical needs of mental health patients is a challenge as many countries do not have adequate resources to meet the increasing demands of the mental health population.
Individuals who suffer from mental illness and do not receive treatment are more likely to suffer from such things as unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, and unnecessary disability (Stoskopf & Johnson, 2018).
The costs of mental illness can be associated with such things as lost productivity, the costs of accessing critical services like the emergency department, and costs associated with incarceration.
