Acute Bronchitis Overview. Air is pulled into the lungs when we breathe, initially passing through the mouth, nose, and larynx (voicebox) into the trachea and continues en route to each lung via either the right or left bronchi (the bronchial tree - bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli).
Too often, those living with a Dual Diagnosis receive treatment for only one of their ailments. It is estimated that of the adults living with co-occurring disorders, 34 percent receive mental health treatment, 2 percent enroll in drug rehab, and 12 percent get the help they need for both disorders.
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.
