Answer 1

( question does not mention if it is a short note, essay or how much descriptive it should be, so that I'm assuming it as a normal short question and prepared the following short answer.)

Mental health services reduce the risk of chronic diseases related to stress, anxiety and substance abuse. Most importantly, mental health services save lives, while improving the outlook for people who may feel hopeless and lost.

The adequasy of mental health services in the United States, results shows that Forty percent of respondents with serious mental illness had received treatment in the previous year. Of those receiving treatment, 38.9% received care that could be considered at least minimally adequate, resulting in 15.3% of all respondents with serious mental illness receiving minimally adequate treatment.A larger proportion of the U.S. population is now covered under managed care, and primary care clinicians are increasingly being given the responsibility of providing mental health care. Interventions have also been attempted to improve the adequacy of mental health treatment.

example, large-scale community programs have been implemented to promote detection nd treatment, such as the annual National Mental Illness Awareness Week; Anxiety Screening Day; the Depression Screening Day; the Depression/Awareness, Recognition, and Treatment program; and the National Public Education Campaign on Clinical Depression.

the National Comorbidity Survey conducted in 1990, only 21% of those suffering from a mental disorder received professional treatment in the past year.1 Even smaller proportions of individuals with mental disorders have been observed to receive treatment that can be considered to be adequate.
