The costs for treating mental health conditions continue to escalate. According to the CDC, many people with mental health disorders also need care for other physical health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. In fact, the costs for treating people with both mental health disorders and other physical conditions are two to three times higher than for those without co-occurring illnesses.1
