Better But Not Well
Author: Richard G. FrankPublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801884429
Category : Mental health policy
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book examines the well-being of people with mental illness in the United States over the past fifty years, addressing issues such as economics, treatment, standards of living, rights, and stigma. Marshaling a range of new empirical evidence, they first argue that people with mental illness--severe and persistent disorders as well as less serious mental health conditions--are faring better today than in the past. Improvements have come about for unheralded and unexpected reasons. Rather than being a result of more effective mental health treatments, progress has come from the growth of private health insurance and of mainstream social programs--such as Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, housing vouchers, and food stamps--and the development of new treatments that are easier for patients to tolerate and for physicians to manage.
An Analysis of Institutions for Mental Disease Waivers: Evaluating the Impact on Access to Residential Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

Book Description
Since the inception of Medicaid, federal law has prevented states from utilizing federal Medicaid funding to pay for residential substance use disorder (SUD) services provided by institutions for mental disease (IMDs). IMDs are defined as residential treatment facilities with seventeen or more beds that specialize in providing care for psychiatric and SUD services. In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) adopted a policy permitting states to waive the IMD exclusion, allowing them to use Medicaid funding to pay for SUD services in IMDs. This thesis uses the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency’s (SAMHSA) Treatment Episode Data Set - Discharges (TEDS-D) from years 2013 to 2019 to evaluate the effect of IMD waivers on opioid use disorder (OUD) residential treatment outcomes for patients with Medicaid as their primary insurer, relative to non-waiver adopting states. This thesis finds that adoption of the IMD waiver is associated with an increase in residential treatment utilization, a higher probability of MAT delivery in residential settings, and a higher probability of completing residential treatment.
Mental Disorders and Disabilities Among Low-Income Children

Book Description
Children living in poverty are more likely to have mental health problems, and their conditions are more likely to be severe. Of the approximately 1.3 million children who were recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits in 2013, about 50% were disabled primarily due to a mental disorder. An increase in the number of children who are recipients of SSI benefits due to mental disorders has been observed through several decades of the program beginning in 1985 and continuing through 2010. Nevertheless, less than 1% of children in the United States are recipients of SSI disability benefits for a mental disorder. At the request of the Social Security Administration, Mental Disorders and Disability Among Low-Income Children compares national trends in the number of children with mental disorders with the trends in the number of children receiving benefits from the SSI program, and describes the possible factors that may contribute to any differences between the two groups. This report provides an overview of the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, and the levels of impairment in the U.S. population under age 18. The report focuses on 6 mental disorders, chosen due to their prevalence and the severity of disability attributed to those disorders within the SSI disability program: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, learning disabilities, and mood disorders. While this report is not a comprehensive discussion of these disorders, Mental Disorders and Disability Among Low-Income Children provides the best currently available information regarding demographics, diagnosis, treatment, and expectations for the disorder time course - both the natural course and under treatment.
