27% of US treated for mental problems/2 years
A national survey of the general adult population and of adults who have needed or received some form of mental health treatment find that more than a quarter (27%) of all adults have received some form of mental health treatment over a two-year period.
Among those patients who have received treatment in the past two years:
1/3 (34%) received both therapy and drugs.
1/2 (47%) of patients used prescription drugs but did not receive therapy.
1/5 (19%) of patients received therapy but did not use prescription drugs.
A modest majority of those who received treatment were extremely (15%) or very (39%) satisfied with their care, with a much larger share (85%) at least somewhat satisfied. There was little difference in levels of satisfaction among patients who received drugs and therapy, therapy only, or drugs only.
