  1. No Stigma: Why More People are Getting Help Than Ever

  2. Mental Health Less Stigma • The APA's Practice Directorate conducted a telephone survey of 1,000 randomly selected Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 and those Americans agreed the stigma about seeking mental health treatment is becoming less of an obstacle to getting treatment. • Students have more of an awareness to their problems because mental illness is discussed more openly today. Schools often address the problem, providing counseling and courses for treatment.

  3. National Alliance of Mental Illness • The National Alliance of Mental Illness, or NAMI, says society is changing. • The Stigma Complex’, published in The Annual Review of Sociology 2015, she says Americans are finally understanding that mental health issues are simply brain disorders and need not be stigmatized.

  4. Seeking Treatment • More Americans are finding it easier to seek treatment because of the Affordable Care Act. • These acts have helped to increase access to mental health services for all segments of society.

  5. Mental Health Treatment • From mental health outpatient treatment centers where patients come and go, to mental health residential treatment centers where patients live for a specified period of time and receive supervised care around the clock
