National Report: Towards a healthier nation; No Health without Mental Health

The Americans’ health is deteriorating rapidly because of chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. The debate over health care has resulted in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which has given health insurance to 20-million more Americans than 4 years ago. But is the access to health care making better the mental health of the nation? The Chicago School of Professional Psychology is issuing a latest report which is a compendium of research supporting the requirement to treat clients with a holistic approach that enables mental and physical health.


Toward a Healthier Nation: No Health Without Mental Health is a basic national report on the status of mental health. It investigates 3 promising approaches embedded in the ACA. Each place has the potential to be "a game changer" in how mental and physical health problems are dealt. The report depicts the strategies to stop common mental health concerns, like depression, from escalating into health-threatening issues. The report outlines how the use of inter-professional teams from physical and psychological perspectives, as well as technological innovations, gives an extra layer of day-to-day support.


The research was conducted by psychology experts who have witnessed the harsh realities of the failure to care for the whole person during office visits, in hospitals, schools, prisons, and on the streets of our communities. This 3-part report discusses the critical need to deal mental and physical health problems as one process. The report is created to advance the way psychology and medicine are considered and practiced. Toward a Healthier Nation: No Health Without Mental Health, also calls for more mental health experts who can deal the increasing cultural diversity in the U.S.
