The State of Mental Health in Kansas City, Missouri
You deserve to live a safe, happy, and healthy life.
But for many children and adults in Kansas City, Missouri, the journey to hope and healing is often blocked by anxiety, depression, family and marital problems, psychiatric disorders, and lack of access to community resources.
- “Approximately one in every 10 adults in the Greater Kansas City area has a serious mental illness (SMI). Although serious mental illnesses such as major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders can be effectively treated, about 40% of cases are untreated.”
- “Given the population of Greater Kansas City in 2011, there are approximately 94,478 individuals with a serious mental illness that are not treated.”
- “Among adults aged 18 or older in the Kansas City MSA, 6.5 percent (106,000 adults) experienced a major depressive episode in the past year.7 These rates were similar to the rates in Missouri and in the Nation as a whole.”
- “Missouri ranks sixth nationally in providing access to needed mental health care for children. Seventy-four percent of children in Missouri aged 2 to 17, with emotional, mental or behavioral health needs, received mental health care or counseling in 2007 compared to the U.S. rate of 60%.”
- “An estimated 49% of Missouri’s population lives in a mental health underserved area, compared with 29% nationally. Thirty-eight percent of Missouri’s population (nearly 2.4 million individuals) is underserved with regards to mental health compared with 21% nationally. Missouri needs to recruit/employ more than 200 psychiatrists in order to achieve the target practitioner -population ratio.”
We strive to change that here at Counseling Now.
We hope that through our online counseling and psychiatry services in Kansas City, Missouri, we can help every child and adult succeed in every aspect of their life.
