SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) just released their report on the prevalence of behavioral health conditions.<\/a> This report includes the rate of serious mental illness, suicidal thoughts, substance use, underage drinking and the percentages of those who seek treatment for these conditions in the United States.<\/p>\n

The report is “one of a series of national and state reports that provide a snapshot of behavioral health in the United States. The reports present a set of substance use and mental health indicators as measured through the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) and the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), sponsored by SAMHSA. This array of indicators provides a unique overview of the nation\u2019s behavioral health at a point in time as well as a mechanism for tracking change and trends over time.”<\/p>\n

The report “is divided into sections based on content areas and age groups. It begins with sections on substance use, mental health, and mental health treatment among youths aged 12 to 17, followed by a section on mental health and mental health service use among adults aged 18 or older. Next are sections on substance use, misuse, use disorders, and treatment among youths and adults.”<\/p>\n

Though it is not stated in their introduction, the report also has details on race\/ethnicity use in addition to the age range mentioned above.<\/p>\n

Note: The report was just published this month, but the information is based on their disclosed 2015 findings.<\/p>\n
