In the interim, there have been extensive advances in the understanding and professional treatment of mental health conditions. Moreover, the advancement of technology coupled with the general decrease in the necessity for hard physical labor has, without a doubt, made most aspects of daily living easier, and the overall quality of life has dramatically improved. Yet, despite these improvements, there is still an overall prevalence of mental health conditions ranging from 1 to 20% of the population, depending on the particular concern. Of note, this prevalence rate has been reported to be relatively stable over time. However, this reported stable prevalence rate is in conflict with the current prevalence rate observed in behavioral health (BH) claims. Thus, this book explores some of the factors that contribute to
this discrepancy.
