A report of the US Surgeon General estimated that at least one in five Americans experiences mental illness in a given year, and urged those with concerns about their mental health to seek help. The report concluded that a variety of treatments of well-documented efficacy exist for the many different types of mental and behavioral disorders that occur across the life span. If you have questions about mental health or where to get mental health services, your doctor or a licensed mental health professional in your community may be able to answer those questions or refer you to someone who can. A nearby health facility or your state mental health agency also may be able to help. We are not able to answer individual treatment questions or provide clinical referrals through this Web site. However, access to contact information for a number of mental health organizations in each state is available at http://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/state_orgs.htm,* and links to other mental health organizations and educational resources are available at http://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/links.htm. We hope you find this information helpful. * Links to non-Federal organizations are provided solely as a service to our users. Links do not constitute an endorsement of any organization by CDC or the Federal Government, and none should be inferred. The CDC is not responsible for the content of the individual organization Web pages found at this link. |
