New research into the state of mental health facilities shows that some services are actually denying support for various mental health conditions, according to The Guardian. The research provides valuable insight into the state of healthcare and the way that Big Pharma greed is prioritized over actual treatment for a range of conditions.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the US makes up just 5% of the world’s population yet consumes 75% of the world’s prescription drugs – a horrifying statistic. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Mental Health explains that mental disorders are common throughout the US and affect tens of millions of people every single year – with only half of those people receiving treatment.

Better mental health screening is required

Mental health services are actually refusing to treat nearly a quarter of all children and young adults under the age of 18 who are seeking help for their conditions, as reported by The Guardian. This is an extremely vulnerable demographic of people, and most of them are referred to mental health services by worried parents or family doctors.
