This Book examines the evolution of mental health policy in the United States since the 1950s, focusing on financing, service provision, and treatment advancements. It analyzes how policy changes, particularly the introduction of Medicaid and Medicare, led to deinstitutionalization and a shift toward community-based care. The report also explores the impact of these changes on the supply of mental health services and the roles of various professionals. Finally, it assesses the well-being of individuals with mental illness over time, considering treatment access, quality of care, and living circumstances. The authors conclude that while progress has been made, significant challenges remain, particularly regarding disparities in access and quality of care. A recommendation is made for a new federal agency focused on addressing the unique needs of this population.
