| Popis: | The mental health and well being of the Australian population remains an ongoing, unresolved issue. A 2007 survey of Australians aged 16-85 years estimated that almost half (45%, or 7.3 million people) had experienced mental ill health at some time in their lives and that approximately 20% of the population had experienced mental disorders in the 12 months before the survey. In addition, data from the 2013 National Mental Health Report indicated that 2-3% of all Australians, or around 600 000 people, had severe mental health disorders as determined by diagnosis, intensity, duration of symptoms and degree of functional impairment. This group included people with severe and disabling forms of depression and anxiety in addition to people experiencing psychoses. Another 4-6% of the population (or 1 million) have moderate disorders, and a further 9-12% ( 2 million) have mild disorders. |
