A Big Giant "D" for US Mental Health Care



Back in 2006, the National Association of Mental Illness rated the overall mental health care in United States and gave it a big, giant "D". 

It's been three years - and while one would think health care would improve - it sadly hasn't. A new state by state report card from NAMI yielded a disastrous and dreadful "D" again. 

What a terrible state of affairs.

As President Obama and our elected officials address Health Care Reform, the American Psychological Association urges them to include better mental health services.  

Mind and body are interconnected, wouldn't  you agree?
