Current issues in mental health in Canada : the economic impact of mental illness / Raphaëlle Deraspe.: YM32-5/2013-87E-PDF

"Mental illness has direct, indirect and human costs that place a burden not only on those who are ill and their loved ones, but also on employers, governments and society as a whole. Forecasts indicate that the economic burden of mental illness will grow over the coming decades and could become increasingly difficult for Canadian society to bear. Yet Canada spends less on mental health - both to promote mental health and prevent mental illness - than most developed nations"--Introduction, p. 1.
