Physical & Mental Health. Poor physical health is associated with poverty in general but seems to be more pronounced among those who are without homes (APA, 2010). Rates of mental illness among people who are homeless in the United States are twice the rate found for the general population (Bassuk et al., 1998). 47 percent of homeless women meet the criteria for a diagnosis of major depressive disorderâtwice the rate of women in general (Buckner, Beardslee, & Bassuk, 2004).
Largely contributing to rising mental health costs include long-term psychiatric care and nursing homes, adding up to more than 40 percent of mental health spending. The $201 billion we spend on mental illness does not include the $193 billion in earnings the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) predicts we lose each year due to serious mental illness. While the findings of this study may not surprise anyone living with a mental health condition, they highlight the need for improvement.
