A BILL

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Mental Health Early Intervention,
Treatment, and Prevention Act of 2000''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Almost 3 percent of the adult population or 5 million
individuals in the United States suffer from a severe and
persistent mental illness.
(2) Twenty-five to 40 percent of the individuals who suffer
from a mental illness in the United States will come into
contact with the criminal justice system each year.
(3) Sixteen percent of all individuals incarcerated in
State and local jails suffer from a mental illness.
(4) Suicide is currently a national public health crisis,
with approximately 30,000 Americans committing suicide every
year, including 2,000 children and adolescents.
(5) The stigma associated with mental disorders often
discourages individuals from seeking treatment, decreases such
individuals' access to housing and employment, and interferes
with such individuals' full participation in society.
(6) In industrialized countries, mental illness constitutes
4 of the 10 leading causes of disability for individuals who
are 5 years of age or older. Such illnesses are, in the order
of prevalence, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and
obsessive compulsive disorder.
(7) Presently, nearly 7,500,000 children and adolescents,
or 12 percent of such population, suffer from 1 or more types
of mental disorders.
(8) Of the almost 850,000 individuals who are homeless in
the United States, approximately \1/3\ or about 300,000 of such
individuals suffer from a serious mental illness.
(9) The majority of individuals with a mental illness can
now be successfully treated.
(10) The primary care setting provides an important
opportunity for the recognition of mental disorders, especially
in children, adolescents, and seniors.
(11) The first Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health,
released in December 1999, describes a vision for the future
that includes 8 areas, being--
(A) continuing to build the science base;
(B) overcoming stigma;
(C) improving public awareness of effective
treatment;
(D) ensuring the supply of mental health services
and providers;
(E) ensuring delivery of state-of-the-art
treatments;
(F) tailoring treatment to age, gender, race, and
culture;
(G) facilitating entry into treatment; and
(H) reducing financial barriers to treatment.
